oafc1955 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Just looking at the transfer fees recieved for that team we had late 80's early 90's. I know we brought a few players in but where did all that cash go? Halle 500k Marshall 750k Milligan 1m Milligan 800k Henry 500k Holden 900k Irwin 650k Barrett 1.7m Warhurst 750k Adams 250k Total £7.8m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofcecere Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) We only got £250K for Halle and £625K for Irwin IIRC, also I don't think we got £500K for Henry. Barrett - The new stand at the Rochdale Road End was paid for from the £1.7M Holden - We got Pointon and Redmond in return (the fee was actually £1.2M I think and we paid £600K each for those two) We did also buy Brennan, McDonald, Beckford, Olney (for a club record £750K), Tolson (the most expensive teenager in the country at the time) and a good few others. I always felt Joe was a better bargain basement shopper rather than when he had a few quid to spend as well. It's a pity Prozac's not around on here still, he's the man with the memory for this sort of stuff Edited March 2, 2015 by ghostofcecere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simoncorneyisgod Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Warhurst was sold on for millions back then never mind now! Barrett would be a nailed on England regular with his pace.....if Jagielka can get a game it's a no brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Yeah, he bought some absolute :censored:e did Royle. Like someone else said, his greatest talent was being able to spot an uncut diamond in the roughage of Leeds United / Citeh / Man United's reserves. Anyone seen Rick Holden's FB feed this week? Some fantastic stories coming out. It's like he's in the pub all week getting pissed and responding to any Latics fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudemedic Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) We made £800k profit they year we got relegated from the Prem, that doesn't include the £800k we got for Gerrard. JW Lees and Ian Stott will have pocketed an decent % of that; the same for most of the transfers already mentioned. We did have to spend a decent sum on ground improvements that the likes of Brentford didn't have to. In fact with the exception of Swindon, Sheff U, Barnsley and possibly Bristol City I doubt many of our current League 1 contempories had to spend much on ground redevelopments back then. As Ghost of Cecere said we spent Earl Barrett's fee on the RRE and that is not exactly in tip-top condition nowadays.

BLUMAX Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 It was Norman Holden I think. It was Norman Holden, he had agreed to fund the transfer of David Batty from Leeds but some old farts on the board said it wasnt right that he would get a share of the profits if we sold him on! He also funded Mickey Quinn and Neil Adams transfers. Good bloke Norman,also put money in at Sheddings and Oldham Cricket, both did well out of his funding too.

Stevie_J Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 How much would they be worth today? £78 million? Irwin alone would be £20 million+. If Luke Shaw's worth £30 million, Irwin would have been worth at least £50m today. In fact, if Luke Shaw's worth £30m, I reckon I must be worth at least £1m.

I can quote him from the letter he sent to us when he won the award: "Yours lurking in the North waiting for the assault" Made the presentation at Molyneux which seems a bit odd with the benefit of hindsight!
