Leave it out you twats

[Naughty Fox]

Don't you think that board's get the blame to often - if they don't back the managers transfer targets with cash they get blamed for no ambition. If they do back them and the manager buys badly, they get the blame for poor housekeeping.

Keep it simple - just blame Peter Taylor.

Its true that the board was criticised for many years for refusing to speculate in the transfer market. However, the transfer fees paid out during Taylor's time looked like an eratic switch in policy -even then - & we didn't know about the wage levels agreed at the time. Its a puzzle to me how Taylor's dealings got sanctioned. I would be interested to know if any 'insiders' warned that this was a potential disaster course.

Alot of sense being written here, the switch in policy is a very interesting one, the board that backed PT's stupid contracts was the same board that got MON back right up about a few quid on the mobile phone bills :roll: . If you do not know the story....
MON was told that his and the coaching staffs mobile phone bills were too high and could they please use them less MON went spare and collected all of the phones up in a black bin liner and dumped them on the chaimans desk (not sure who it was at the time, think Elsom).
Have a moan at one of the most sucessfull managers we have had and back a T*at like PT on crap players on stupid money :?: :?
