There isn't a strategy for the club....the strategy is to run the business for the benefit of the shareholders. It's probably the one and only thing the Twats in charge have ever promised and stuck to!
As far as I'm aware, it was a fixed £2.85m and they had a sell-on clause, but only a small one, they got about £600k when he went to Liverpool.
Righteo thanks They didn't trust Bruce's spending after he'd spent £40m the year before and got us relegated. There were some good long term buys in there though
Was it Jordan Jones, at Kilmarnock the winger we are interested in, if so Ehab & Darren get fooking moving Ranger's have just made a bid for him.
He knows because Ehab said so in the interviews he gave in October to the HDM. He was proud of buying cheap and selling high in fact.
Hull City Tigers in waiting until the last 24 hours of the transfer window shocker... There's you're back page headline, HDM. Free of charge
Darnbrough's job is probably to identify players he knows the other club doesn't want to sell. Then to put it stupidly low bids. Thus we have the smoke and mirrors of apparently trying to buy a player, without in reality spending anything.
Or possibly the scatter gun approach. Appraise the value of hundreds of players, offer their club half that value and see who bites.
Well they aren’t facing League 1 are they. They’ve employed a manager who will most likely get them promoted and kept their best players. Give me Steve Gibson’s transfer policy over Ehabs any day. Also they shouldn’t have as much disposable cash as us either.
Boro are a prime example of what can happen with a decent owner. "We're gonna be in the Championship? Better buy Assombalonga then, he's scored loads of goals at that level. Oh and while we're at it, get Howson in from Norwich and Randolph from West Ham, two players that know this league inside out and have performed at a consistent level. Full backs? Cyrus Christie from Derby obviously, the lad is on an upward trajectory and while we're talking wide players, that Braithewaite at Toulouse would be a great shout, we've scouted him thoroughly and we know that even though he's never played in England, he is just the type of player we need." Meanwhile at City: "It was rejected? Bid the same amount." "What?" "Just do it. Trust me. Then see who is fifth choice up front at QPR and get him in on loan."
