Doesn't sound like there's much respect there, to be honest

All this bickering is unbelievable. Had we not sold Keane and all other transfers took place, we still would have had Keane in the centre of defence alongside Mee with Tarkowski as backup. However, he would have left for nothing in 12 months, and we wouldn't have recieved £30M (or whatever it was) for him, and still had a viable defensive line up with backup in Long.

The fact we did get a lot of cash for Keane could not have been foreseen by the board, so the fact the club spent like it did means to me that they kept their promise.

Who cares?

Was you thinking that maybe it would be divided up amongst the fans.

Obviously to those with more than 5,000 points first. :-)

No, I'd have thought it would be reinvested in the playing staff.

Seems a little naive maybe, but that's what I'd have done. I'd have replaced the international centre back with another good player, not literally nobody.

At least I'd be one of first in line with more than 5000 points. (Only proper supporters have that many points ;))

Nope, they put that into the escalating funds required for the operating expenses like wages...

You know it isn't so why ask?

The board have yet again been accused of pocketing the money by people who don't seem to understand how businesses operate...

Surely they are entitled to cash in their dividends? Doing a fine job IMO.
