Smarter spending is what we need. The size of our wage bill compared to the number and quality of players on it is an absolute embarrassment.

If he had continued where he left off from his first season it would all be so different now. What a masterstroke paying the �30m would have been.

This is true but he could also have been injured so there�s a lot of eggs in one basket there. Having Wickham injured as well is unfortunate but you really have to have a third capable striker or scout players better so if we needed to bring one in we could afford better. There was indeed a mistake made by selling Murray. He could�ve been kept and played half the league games. When you look and see the planning around that time it was shocking. Wickham, Gayle, Murray, Bamford was the pecking order I think although there�s no point loaning in Bamford if there�s no chance of him playing. We then brought in Adebayor. Not that long after we sold Gayle. The planning, scouting and analysis of plenty of things and players we�ve brought in has been shocking. The Murray one by Brighty, Parish�s first go to man, others by Pardew or Freedman, more people in the job because of history over experience. COYP

Riedewald - �7 million, 55k p/w wages. Sorloth - �9million, 30k p/w wages. Wickham - �9 million, 60k p/w wages. Benteke - �30 million, �120k p/w wages. Jach - �2.5 million, 20k p/w wages. None of those look like wise spending. Also, rumours are that Meyer is on anything up to �170,000 p/w. A player who doesn't fit our system and rarely makes the team.

Thing is, parish got backers involved, but parish still runs the show and the americans are doing exactly what were asked of them and what they are prepared to do - they are obviously getting something back from this and even if they were not.. it's small change to them and probably written off by their other companies. If we were to go down this year, we would have naff all to show for it... embaressing..no...shameful really. Football is now big business with all the money floating about. Some people still have quaint ideas about people doing it for the love of the game. They need to wake up a smell the coffee about how football has changed.
