It's not even remotely controversial. You think we can spend and waste £300M and not repent at leisure? You're in for a shock if you do.

I thought we only spent what we had earned and it was just the TV cash we were spending?

Sort your story out.

Hes taken it out of context, ignore him, besides I prefer this 1.

“We need to be competing for honours against the Premier League elite. It is no straightforward challenge but this must be our motivation each and every day.' - Marcel Brands

I can’t find it even said let alone out of context, hence my question

Said or not, I love the way he’s tried to spin it into a narrative of we’ll now be a selling club for 5 years, and portraying that as some sort of fact.

Off on my annual visit to QLD this coming Tuesday.

This is my only Aus related post.

Hopefully Moshiri has a few big things to drop, hopefully next Saturday after that lot have lost the CL to a dodgy pen.

Well the wet is over and QLD is now drying out, enjoy.

Yeah that’s the quote I’d read, which isn’t what davek said.

First touched base with him two years ago, wow. Now at last Mopshiri has got him so Walsh clearly just a temp.

Also completely ignoring the fact that we don’t have the possibility of being sell to buy - you need high value assets for that

Im fairly sure we will sell more players than we buy, but the majority will be sold for "buttons".

The reports of 100m kitty, as always are bolloxs, we will spend what we need, within reason of course.

Despite us spunking 300m basically up a wall, we are still in a very good state cash wise, at least till the Stadium kicks off proper.

We have lots of players who would generate good funds. Most of the players themselves are awful, but don't underestimate how dumb some teams can be when it comes to buying 'proven' Premier League players (trying not to laugh at that): Bolasie (10m minimum, somehow), Mirallas (3-5m), Schneiderlin (10-15m), Niasse (wouldn't mind him staying tbh, but would easy sell for 10-15m) would generate us 40 million minimum.

Plus we'd easy be able to shift Klaassen for 10m (some team will still see him as an influential Ajax captain), Sandro for 5m (some team will think he has potential), bla bla.

Loads of teams are thick AF. Hence how we ended up with all of these players ...

Get Rooney (free), Jagielka (nominal fee), Williams (nominal fee), Besic (5m), Stekelenberg (nominal fee) off the books too and we're also saving about half a million a week on wages: over 25m a year.

Of those players we sell, only a few of them actually need replacing like for like: Bolasie, Niasse, Jagielka. The rest are a waste of space.

We brought in a lot in that time too tbf

My take on the ‘different model’ comment is that we’ve appointed Brands as a genuine DOF, that will see him build a back room from youth set up to first team that will remain largely unchanged if we change the manager. The traditional model in this country sees the manager come in with his entire back room team and there’s huge upheaval if you decide to part company with them. I can see us moving to the more continental method of a ‘first team coach’ more than a traditional manager who controls everything on the footballing side.

I agree completely.

Exactly this. If you were to compare it to our traditional sytem, It's like Marcel Brands is our manager and whoever we appoint as 'manager' will, in effect, be no more than his assistant.

Yes and also in this country, most managers have a say on players, I mean I say most, but theres countless stories of people not being happy about that, Conte at Chelsea the most recent and surprisingly Silva had a moan at Watford according to something I read, which is the only doubt I have concerning him being nailed on.

100% agree. That's why Im not too fussed about Silva's appointment. Brands will set out the style, formations and footballing philosophies whilst the 1st team, U23 and youth team coaches will be required to coach their players in accordance with the Brands doctrine.

Each coach will be constantly monitored and assessed to ensure that they are doing what is expected of them - no freelancing!

I think there are doubts with a lot of supporters in relation to Silva's defensive coaching (or lack of it) but that will be addressed by Brands as the almighty Dutch overlord of Finch Farm. Maybe that's why Emery, Fonseca et al were never really in the frame as they would never fit into this model.
