Wheres the Money gone?

Wheres the Money gone?

It’s like the Billy Davis scenario all over again. He had built the best team we have had in 40 years . Lost the play off final and hoped to be backed the next season. No backing so he fecked off.
We had the best side since 2005 last season, brought in big money and still did not back the manager.
No one is learning from past mistakes.

AN new the script when he came here. So far he's not used his buget (low level championship budget not league 1,imo) very well.

Apart from, arguably, Moult, which of his other signings could he have improved upon-with the money available to him?

I would guess man city will be paying most of his wages he is only 19 & he had the choice of where to go if it was about money he wouldn't be here & barker was at hibbs last year and there wage structure is no where near ours.

So he walks into the PNE dressing room, guaranteed a place and the other North End players must ask what’s he on? Because I haven’t seen anything special yet?

Like with the O's Being rich in property, doesn't make u rich in ready cash. He's been bailing us out for years. Whilst many complain about clubs taking a risk, even on another thread about the 2 year gamble. You have to remember, we maybe in the same boat. We got Nmecha and Barker on Loan, they not coming here on the cheap. We have to face facts, we are not a cash rich club and every now and again the sale of a player is needed to balance the books. Reality is crap, but thats life.

If TH wanted to spend some cash on players he would,make no mistake about that, no matter what most of his wealth comprises.

Fisher and Hughes look decent enough defensive buys for AN but he's yet to buy or loan any attacking or midfield player that has proven good (or fit) enough to play at this level over a period of time. Given the money pretty sure Grayson would have purchased or loaned better attacking or midfield players than AN has.

AN did not build last years team though, they were mainly Graysons players. Only now are we starting to see players AN has brought in.

Tbh Bodin was starting to look a real player, Burke looks good and Ledson looks like he will develop into a decent player too.
 
Fair enough Paddy, they all look like long term they could be OK but we are only going to find out in a year or two where we are at with these players. They may prove to be decent buys long term but at the moment its debateable and AN has yet to prove himself in this area.

Are sky not subsidising that nowadays with this ifollow and red button

How does any possible income from ifollow and red button matches, which every other club will also receive, bridge the gap that we’re trying overcome to clubs getting millions in parachute payments and/or 10-20,000 more folk through the turnstiles every week?

I think Grayson did a first class job at Deepdale with the resources available to him but the signings of Doyle and Pringle were hardly his finest moments (assuming of course that they actually were his signings).
 
Trevor Hemmings has never kicked a ball,picked the team/squad or made any substitutions in the two matches I’ve attended this week. The buck stops with the manager and management team.

Was it also the manager that wanted to sell Hugill and Cunningham and replace them with unproven players?

The manager goes to the board with targets, the board either sanction or turn down those targets. The buck stops with them. The manager loses £11million pounds of talent, and is given next to nothing to replace them. 100% strategy for failure.

Last year the losses were less than 3 million, people keep quoting 6 million. That's without the sales of Hugill and Cunningham. Lets not be foolish enough to think that a man with TH business sense has not got some tremendous accountants and that most of those losses are year after year offset against tax.

The last accounts accessible from Companies House (up to June 2017; published in October) and show we required £5.615m from Hemmings to meet running costs over the preceding 12 months and were projected to need another £4.65 from him up to June this year.

Not withstanding the contract renewals of current playing staff, the 5 permanent signings and whatever the two city lads are costing us, the Cunningham and Hugill money would likely cover running cost deficits for 2-2.5 years max.
