The board have to start backing Mr Hill

And find the cash to offer the players he is bringing in to the club enough money to get them on longer deals, there is some major money to be made of the back of Hill and his coaching team if they back them to the hilt, the rewards will be massive for this football club but the board need to back the man and let him bring the players in, i knows time are hard and the club is skint but we have a bloke here who could make us a lot of money if we speculate to accumulate

 

I`d rather be as we are than pawn the family silver.

 

The Board ?

Mr Rowing and Mr Taylor ?

Good luck.

 

The other option is **** it do nothing and lose Hillflicker anall, because they'll not be here long if they don't get some money from somewhere, and then the chance to earn from them is gone,

 

Money from where ?

 

From the same place they got it from for Davey & Robins

 

That would be Mr Cryne then ?

 

None there anymore.

 

yeah thats it pal

 

Wake up. Where will the cash come from? Hillcroft took this job realising the financial situation and they are managing it within those restrictions.
When you suggest that The board "find the cash" - what do you actually mean. If you've got the winning numbers for the lottery I suggest you get in touch with The Board ocs it aint coming from anywhere else - not on our gates!!
Oh and talking of speculating to accumulate, isn't that what Risdale did at Leeds?

 

So after putting into the club and the company that owns the ground about £15m since he took over, he should just carry on ?

 

yeah because now with Hillflicker he as a big chance of getting his money back

 

Whilst I can see where you are coming from he would be gambling on promotion. How much in your opinion would be enough to secure promotion ?

 

no he would be gambling on hill and flicker turning people like Vaz Te Drinkwater Butterfield and such like into million pound players

 

That would involve giving extended contracts without release clauses... how much do you think that would cost ? and if it didn't work we'd have players we can't get rid of on long term expensive contracts.

 

Why dont you take out a loan and give it to the club - no risk right?

 

I agree with the longer contracts aspect

For young players who Hill believes will make it.

Look at Palace just giving Zaha a 5 year contract... and that's when he's already attracted attention form big clubs.

If we only ever hand out 2 year contracts we'll never make any money.

 

Re: I agree with the longer contracts aspect

Fair enough, but say we offered Jacob a five year contract it would have to be on good money and he turns out not to be the same prospect after his injury ? We'd be paying out without return.


BTW if Jacob is daft enough to read this board it is only a hypothetical case and get well soon !

 

The problem is, if Hillcroft worked their magic and we ended up making £2/3m from creating saleable assets then Cryne still wouldn't get his money back because fans would be demanding that we spent the profit on more players. You've only got to look at what happened when Shackell left to see how the fans react - "Where has the Shackell money gone?" "We've not backed Hill with the money from Shackell" etc.

In my opinion, we need to carry on doing what we're doing. Gives playes contracts that are low risk to us as a club, but that allow us to pick up transfer fees for them. If we sell them, we then re-invest the money but have the added bonus of a creating a reputation for improving the careers of players. Eventually we're going to end up with 3/4 players at the club (at the same time) who are doing really well and put us in a position (e.g. playoffs) where the players get offers from other clubs but don't want to leave due to the chance of promotion.

Keep up the good work BFC and Hillcroft.
