That's what I took from it. Nobody has mentioned running costs etc etc. I don't think we will be going crackers as some seem to think. 100m? Whey aye...
I think an appropriate celebration would be to be to release Fredor from solitary confinement, that way we'll get a greater understanding ( backed up by statistics ) of how Rafa can spend the 750 million Ashley has given him from petty cash.
There's got to be a significant amount or Rafa wouldn't be happy and would probably be off. I think the minimum he'd want is £60m so I'm guessing we are talking upwards of that amount to spend inc. player sales. Pure speculation though. I've tried to google info about when TV/League/Parachute payments are made to clubs and didn't really find anything. Like I said, if it's backloaded and comes in at the end of the season then the money available is probably going to look pretty decent, otherwise I'm guessing it's been spent paying the wages, etc throughout the season. We needed Ashley to put in £15m to keep us afloat this season so we certainly won't have saved any of this money for a rainy day.
More than happy to put in for the ban to be lifted if 2-3 of you boys say you want it to happen. It's your board chaps after all.
Was going to come on here and open a world of lyrical jizz over this thread but see yas have already done it. And free the Fredor for me, doesn't bother me enough to want him banned
Whatever the sum Rafa has... it was enough for him and his plans/goals for the club ..that'll do for me
2-1 for freedom for Fredor... Let's turn this into a basic vote. Fairer that way then we can go with the majority. I'll do a poll for 7 days then you can vote and make voted public so we can make sure only mags vote.
If we did lift his ban it would save me having to have a shower every time I get back off the Mackem board after I call him a tw@t.
