Wilson Out

[Arch Stanton]

Been mentioned many times, but there's obviously money to spend, I just think there are issues when agents and agent fees are involved, Fitton would rather eat his own faeces than pay any money to those bastards. So this kinda narrows the field a little bit, so any agent touted players tend to get peddled elsewhere.

Heard it all before though haven't we?

Yep, every bleeding week...

[Frigby Daser]

If someone has the time, I'd put money on him having spent the most since mcmahon, and the most net since gorman. Strangely I want him to stay, because I don't want a shit replacement for the sake of change. But I'd quite like us strolling out under Burley next week, or Tisdale, or even Johnson...because if he can't change his blurb in a bloody interview, do we honestly expect him to inspire the players when they're in a rut like this? I would love to be a club with stable management, with a long term plan, with someone in charge who wants to play good football and isn't a muppet....Wilson is my type of manager. He is clearly the boards too. But there comes a point when you think that it just isn't happening and something needs to give. He still has my backing. I don't think he's doing a good job, but I know he can, because he's shown it, which is more than a lot of the managers about. The board have my backing, because they are the best thing to happen to the club in the last 20 years. They, not Wilson, were the ones who got us Charlie, but they lost Greer...a composed, leader at the back like we hadn't seen in years. I just hope there is another one up their sleeves.

McMahon spent £740,000 in 1995-1996, He then spent £520,000 in 1996-1997 and £950,000 in 1997-1998.

Jimmy Quinn spent a measley £10,000 in 1998-1999 on Charlie Griffin and a mere £65,000 in 1999-2000 on Andy Williams.

Colin Todd & Andy King spent £350,000 in 2000-2001 on Gary Alexander & Steve Robinson.

King then spent nothing in 2001-2002.

In 2002-2003 Roy Evans & Andy King combined spent nothing.

In 2003-2004 King spent £73,600 on Sebastien Ruster & Rory Fallon, Plus Opara for an undisclosed fee.

In 2004-2005 King spent £120,000 on Jerel Ifil & Christian Roberts.

In 2005-2006 King & Onoura combined spent nothing.

In 2006-2007 Wise & Sturrock combined spent £60,000 on Brezovan.

In 2007-2008 Sturrock bought McGovern & Paynter for undisclosed fee's somewhere in the region of £250,000 for both of them and Malpas paid around £200,000 for Cox and around £50,000 for McNamee.

In 2008-2009 Malpas bought Mark Marshall & Yinka Casal for undisclosed fee's so around £100,000 as i think Casal cost around £75,000.

In 2009-2010 Wilson spent £100,000 on Cuthbert and Austin for up to £50,000.

This season Wilson has spent £200,000-£250,000 on Ritchie, £350,000 on Ferry & Caddis and now up to £150,000 on Flint.

So there you go Moonraker, Wilson has spent the most since McMahon easily.

Except half of that you don't actually know the amounts spent, so you've guessed them. And you've made no effort to allow for the inflation in transfer fees since the 90s. And, as I keep saying, money spent is not just fees, you have to look at wages as well to arrive at an overall figure of what manager x spent. And none of us really know that. So it was bit of a futile exercise of guesswork, extrapolation and failing to account for much of the spend and you've proved fuck all.

Apart from that, well done

Some transfer's were undisclosed fee's but i know we paid £200,000 for Cox and between £50,000-£100,000 for McNamee, Some of it was guesswork but the majority of it is factual.

[thedarkprince]

Some of it was guesswork but the majority of it is factual.

Every second word is "around" or "undisclosed"... As pauld says, proves nothing. How many free transfers took a signing-on fee for example?

[adje]

In 2002-2003 Roy Evans & Andy King combined spent nothing.

But Evans' signing of that fat useless fucker Ruddock nearly busted us.

Well you dont because we spent less than that on Cox. I'm sure somewhere at some point Fitton mentioned the actual price in an interview and we were all shocked how low it actually was. Perhaps closer to 150k than 200k

Between 50k and 100k isnt exactly an accurate guess either.

All the fees these days are undisclosed, so its pretty hard to come up with who spent more than who.

The original price was only a down payment, we forked out a lot more when he moved to WBA, this seems to be the way with transfers nowadays, £150,000 for Flint does not include the 20% sell-on clause when he moves on.

Good point but...............Mcmahon inherited a good side...didn't need to spend...instead prefered to sell the quality we had.
But indeed its an interesting set of stats you put before us.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Yeah....it's fine apart from the fact that as Paul pointed out, it's total fucking guess work.
