LOL @ bendy taking everyone else to the cleaners.

The haters should just try to deal with brendo's answers rather than having a go at him.

At least matey has gone away and actually found resources to work things out for himself. I have no idea if the pitch is included in the 11 million.
I just know it was layed at a cost of a mill initially,and relayed at about the same cost at least once. I dont claim to be an expert. I dont have the figures. I simply read the info put out at the time,and then remember it so that when people ask about it i can then give them the half remembered info.
But im starting to think i may write to the club asking if i could draw a salary for the service i provide for them.
Maybe as the official liason officer between the club finance dept and HNA?
I honestly dont know why i bother for thanks i get.
Humph.

You're assuming that Gylfi was just an item on the balance sheet, or a computer game. He wasn't - he was a human being with his own hopes and ambitions. The choice was not made to sell him, he was attracted by what he thought was a superb change to further his career. Would it be fair to try and stop him? And how would he have felt and played if we had tried?

This has been covered many times before but you continue to believe what you want to belive.

Siggy himself said that he was told to leave - this has been confirmed by people who knew him. It was almost certainly a bad move for his future development as a season of building the team round him at RFC would have been much better for him than a season sitting mainly on the bench at Hoffenheim. We did him no favours by selling him and the club engineered it. It was a financial decision alone. If you think otherwise you really are deluded.

I could say exactly the same - "you continue to believe what you want to believe" (although I'll spell it correctly! )

And I'm certainly not going to get into a pissing match with you about quality of sources, but I completely and utterly refute what you're saying - it doesn't match anything that was said at the time by any of the key players both inside and outside the club, and in any case it doesn't chime with the way football works.

So I can't help but see it as revisionism to support a failing argument. Quite simply, it's wrong!

Can we hall of Fame this thread so we can link to it in future outbreaks of, "where did the Prem money go?"

I think anybody still asking after reading the excellent whiff article is never going to be convinced and we are now just going around in ever more mental circles.

Why Hall of Fame it? It's not like it will get lost anywhere. At best you sticky it.
