Summit Talks

OaksterOakster
edited January 2008 in General Charlton
From The Sun.....ALAN PARDEW will demand a £2m transfer kitty when he holds summit talks with the Charlton board today. The Addicks boss is after Burnley striker ANDY GRAY in a £1m deal and has also targeted Colchester skipper KARL DUGUID.

I reckon they are making a mountain out of a molehill, why would he do such a risky thing Pards is at the peak of his profession.

    Speculate to accumalate surely that is the way.

    If pards needs money make it available,

    Yes profits are down yes we got relegated

    but if we want to go up we need ambition and that means money.

    I for one wanted Spurs to win by 4 or 5 last night so that Song would be free to come back on loan , Go get Routlidge on the wing from spuds on loan, Earnie up front from Derby Permanent . Go get Pressley on loan from Celtic, sell Thomas sell ambrose sell big bent. use that money to look at Duguid, Halford and the likes

    we must have money somewhere 7 years in the Prem.

    only 2 managers severence pay paid out in that time and one of those only 750K.

    If the prem is worth 30 million instant money that means we must have a few war chest coffers somewhere.

    If not spend nothing and see how we go no point spending 2 mil to get out of this league it will not get you much and def not enough to gain automatic promotion.

    Play offs a lottery and imo this team will come good maybe just not quick enough for this season unfortunatly

    There is no war chest. We have no money at all apart from what the Directors loan to the club. All the money we earned in the Premiership has gone on ground improvements & players' wages. Don't be fooled, although clubs in the Premiership earn a lot of money they spend even more. Nobody can make a profit just by being in the Premiership. Clubs all lose money. The bigger teams make their money from Europe, from cup runs & from merchandising. We will do well to rustle up £2m to spend in this transfer window.

    Good no money i think we should stick with what we have got anyway, maybe a couple of loans and sit tight and see what happens

    Red Pete the voice of reason. I've thought the same for a long time and am surprised how many people think they can pull money off trees to spend. There were mistakes made over the last two years and I think we will be paying for those in monetary and action terms for a long time yet.

    can we really believe that they are only meeting today about this. Our transfer plans should have been finalised before the window opened. If we are only getting started today then we'll be lucky to get anyone in by the time the window shuts. I can't believe though that this is the case. C'mon, pull yer fingers out !!

    I'm sure Pards and Parky have routine weekly / fortnightly meetings with the chairman. I reckon this is one, and some hack has made the most of it a bit.

    Not only that, everyone has completely missed Oakster's attempts to spin a series of Mountainous puns.
