Spot on. Wage bill as a percentage of turnover.

 

I assume PlayerShare income is part of turnover. But bums on seats are the key to it. And I don't mean £10 season tickets.

Pretty sure Playershare wont be part of turnover..

Other clubs are using the same framework and manage to make thier sites look decent - http://www.theposh.com/

Its truly awful. Who runs it?

Thanks all, much appreciated.

Anywhere I can see how much is in the pot, what the monthly figures are etc? Ta.

Think you'll find it was mainly below Championship level.

Tore Pedersen? £500k down the drain as I recall.

Joe McBride, Derrick Parker, Martin Buchan, Ian Ormondroyd, Peter Skipper, John Kelly

pressed against people At a Latics game?

OK not sure whether it was a corner or not but my point is you cant blame Smith or Dickov for the fact he was defending at a certain point of time. If you applied the same logic you'd be upset everytime a centre half scores a goal.

Hardly negative that a 6 foot 5 bloke defends a corner. Next

Fair point but few and far between (£1.5m the lot?)

Isn't the main question that should be posed from this story why on earth did we only get £300k (or whatever) for Stephens last season. Time and time again this clubs prize assets leave for peanuts (Lee, Taylor) due to their contracts running down or just plain refusal to drive a hard bargain. The only way this club will have a chance to succeed is to invest in good young players, build them up then sell them off. Look at Peterborough for example, MacAnthony is a bit of a wide boy but he has basic principles in place that have led to success.

Stephens isn't £1m better than he was a year ago.

Follow me! @danjlund

although experienced striker who can bang in 20 a season - rare, but i'm sure someone could be found.

Are you? Are you really??

Didn't know he lives in Delph, poor lad

Oi whats wrong with Delph?

Coming in a taxi?

What on earth have you seen from his manner that makes you think he'd make a good assistant manager?

Whats with the automatic assumption that Taggart does nothing? Reminds me of when Urmson got all the flak for Ritchie's failings.

I want to know how he managed to get through A and E at West Midds hosp, have an x ray, get a boot sorted and get back to travel home with the team!

We could have played for a week and we wouldn't have scored.

 

Dickov is a deluded man. He says we played the better football - that is purely for the many fans who couldn't get to the game. We were absolutely woeful in the first half. The last action of the first 45 minutes summed us up: a throw-in to one of our players in yards of space, touched it back to the throw-in taker (can't recall who was involved) and it went straight out for a Brentford throw-in.

 

Our biggest problem is our midfield. Furman, who in the first half looked as though he had Dave Penney's instructions to follow, was carrying Adeyemi - it took me half a hour to realise Tom was playing.

 

How many times were we in their final third, building a little pressure, only for Brentford to clear and somehow forge an attack because we can't win a second ball? At least a dozen.

 

Kuqi was nowhere to be seen, it took Furman a hour to get into the game, Adeyemi didn't turn up, Simpson looked too eager to hit the ball to the flanks, and Taylor was the only lad trying to get on the end of some impressive Morais crosses.

 

It was as bad as I've seen for months. Dickov thinks we ought to be in the top half - well if he thinks that he can go today. We're lucky we picked up points in October/November because we genuinely deserve to be in the bottom four. Last night's side lacked Wesolowski - that's it. We were out-classed, out-fought and were battered for long periods of the match.

 

For Dickov to come out and say otherwise is a complete fabrication. He's plucking at straws, and at the moment he doesn't know what to do. I'm worried.

Spot on. Morais only marginal positive from last night. (OK maybe Lee at a push)

The fishul reporter could for once avoid the obvious headline? Do you think he sits there and decides he's the first person to ever come up with 'Let's sting Bees' or 'Let's blunt Blades'

Then do it. I don't understand why people are angry that season ticket holders are being given an option to do something if they want to.

Absolutely. Complaining about this is like complaining that peas are reduced because you prefer carrots.

There's a Man U banner on this page!

We could have done with Hayes.
