Every penny we raise, is going to pay and support every blues' employee. Manager, Coaches,Admin, Tea Ladies, Groundstaff, Players etc It ain't going anywhere else. Blues anticipated a minimum £40 million income next season - perhaps a £50-55million income. :o We get £8million next week and £8 million in February Montgomery and Mcleish pushed the Blues board to the 'next' level in finances and Yeung had to mortgage his properties to fund it. (So much for an alleged "money-launderer"...he had to get a mortgage :LMAO: ) When Mcleish was staying at Blues, he authorised and approved the removal of Parnaby, Phillips, Bowyer, Hleb,Bentley,McFadden etc all the £35K a week and above players. McLeish approved or initiated their removal. That was hs job and that was in his contract. But Pannu gets the blame :LMAO: Blues have lost an income of £40 million this season. We get 2 lots of £8 million as a parachute payment. Work it out! The money from Johnson, gardner, fergosn is staggered. As normal. We'll be lucky to see 25% of the total fees paid up front - considering where they've gone. :D But they were high earners, they are off our bill and we are closer maintaining a squad. We are in desparate mire...YES ! Because of silly and over-priced player wages. Naive Board ?.....YES, imo. A Too Trusting Board - - imo. ....our board believed McLeish and Montgomery that hyper-wages for Hleb, Bentley Derbyshire etc would prove it's worth. Montgomery was sacked! ....Not a minute too soon imo. McLeish may have got a whisper of a free-agent job, and abandoned Blues...his lifelong coach as well. I hope both Mcleish & Montgomery hype themselves up and get Moxley of the Mail to support them...at Villa. (e.g Villa scout discovered Drogba -Moxley EXCLUSIVE!!!!!) Anyway.....Every penny we raise, is going to pay and support every blues' employee. Manager, Coaches,Admin, Tea Ladies, Groundstaff, Players etc It ain't going anywhere else. **thumbup |

Midland, if you take the time to go back and look at any article involving transfers you will usually see the comment from Mr Pannu that the board is working with Alex,Chris on new players. Now you say McLiesh authorised the removal of the likes of Parnaby, Phillips, Bowyer, Hleb,Bentley,McFadden etc all the £35K a week and above players. Hleb and Bentley were on loan so were always going back. As for the rest let me ask you a question Why was Gardner sold, why is Foster on loan at Westbrom..... what is the difference between what McLiesh did and what Mr Pannu is doing ??

I don't think you can say either way whether the fees for those players were staggered or paid up front. I don't think anyone on here second guessing can really? At the end of the day we are struggling financially but not in ruins, and we need a few players in then we can be right up there. Eck shouldn't have taken us down , mistakes were made, now he's gone let's get on with it and see what CH can do for us. |

But were getting mixed message some say we got £4million for Johnson and then Tatts says £7million alot of others agree. Fact is we don't know and people will pick the price they like best depending if they are for or against the board. I'd be very surprised if we accepted £4million but I guess we'll never know. KRO!!!! |

Wolves offered £6m and we rejected it at first. I personally think we then realised that Wolves were the only interested party and then decided to accept at £6m |

I think you will find it was around £4m as Wolves paid the fee straight away and there is no sell on clause. |
