The Official Well Done Peter Thread

I think we're arguing differing points then. Whilst he's performing well, which I will admit he currently is (or is it just the team are performing better and things appear well, I don't know, but I have noticed a much needed improvement in communication from the club) then I don't want to force him out the club. I just don't think he should be trusted to be allowed free reign, which many people are certainly advocating.

You can certainly expect PR to do better with the conditions being set, his 2 in 5 is a perfect example of that. My concerns are if he was given £2m a year at Barnsley and spent 3/4 of it on wages for 2 individuals (himself included) then what is he doing with £10m a year.

I do find it bizarre that people are willing to criticise the man who stuck his hand in his pocket to the tune of £10m a year whilst defending the man who simply spends it.

He doesn’t have ten million a year though. Where has this ten million a year come from? You think he was given ten million a year on transfers and wages!? If you think that you are deluding yourself. Hemings set the budget and constraints ridsdale and managers had to work with.

We spend £20m a year on wages. We have a turnover of £12.6m

Hemmings had to inject £7.8m last financial year.
 
What are you on about?!?

We're spending over £20m a year.

Turnover is over £10 mill a year.

We definitely have £10m a year to spend.

Ok so what had that got to do with Peter.

Trevor sanctioned the funds not Peter.

So if we have over 10 million a year to spend why did we not spend it.

All down to Trevor I’m afraid.

What part of that can you not understand. The budget was set by Trevor. It’s pretty obvious.

Completely agree to be fair, definitely do not want him to have free reign.

But am more than happy for him to have a bit more freedom when it comes to the revolutionising of the club such as ticketing, social media and player purchases, it seems TH's transfer dealings were done on which side of the bed he wanted to wake up on.

I think TH gets the criticism because of his micro-management of the club and refusal to move away from old school mentalities meaning we didn't progress internally as well as on the field.

Not investing when we were top of the league was criminal.

I genuinely haven't a clue how to make it any easier to understand.

Have a goodun 👍🏻.

I’ve quoted your other post since you are struggling. You stated what is Peter ridsdale doing with £10 million a year?

Yet Peter doesn’t have 10 million a year to spend because as the vast majority of Preston fans know the budget is/was set by Hemings and it definitely wasn’t anywhere near 10 million.

And then instead of explaining your comment you brush it off because you now realise it was a stupid thing to say.

I find it extremely bizzare that you are prepared to blame all our financial constraints on Peter rather than the man who set them.

Think the budget recently has been more around the 20 million mark hasn't it?

We're spending £20m a year on wages and you're saying our budget is less than £10m. How can that be the case?

My remark was more a rounding up of the figure of the extra £7.8m that Hemmings funded us to every year.

I've explained it several times, you aren't grasping it. I didn't want to be a dick and spell it out to you that you aren't grasping it.

I've genuinely no idea how you can think that a club spending 166% of its £12.6m turnover on wages has a budget of less than £10m.

If your Dad gives you £5 a week spending money and you decide to buy something shit for £4.50 instead of waiting for next week to buy something great for £9 then I'd blame you for not spending your money correctly, not your Dad for only giving you £5 a week.

I like your last analogy which is good.

However, as has been reported before Hemmings went more along the lines of son do you fancy spending an extra £10 today just because I feel like it even though you needed it months ago?

Especially in the case of Riis, Whiteman and McCann.
 
Play as well as you want away from home.
The only thing that prolongs a manager's tenure is dominant home form.
The first half was an absolute shambles.
North End fans don't expect wins, but they do expect more than what was served up today. 8 stiffs need culling in the summer.
Some utter flops are taking up space in this squad.
