My point was, and remains, all you Nige luvees said he balanced the books, yet the club lost £22m that year (his 2nd or 3rd) at the club from memory, so he didn’t do as a good a job as you all claim he did. Mainly because he let everyone go for free, which did bring the wage bill down, but did nothing to offset the losses. I have already stated that I made a mistake, in that the £34m in sales would appear in the following years accounts. You may be better at maths than me, but clearly not English comprehension if you failed to take that onboard, again….

On the pitch we got worse, in terms of style of play and league positions. I have no doubt it eats up all you LJ haters, who also seem to be the NP luvees, that he didn’t do a better job for us, despite all his experience….

You made a statement that the club made a loss of £22 million while selling players for £34 million, you obviously did not just make a mistake, you did not understand the topic.

From Nigel Pearson's first season 2020 -21 in charge the wage bill was £30.25m and this was cut by £6.4m by 2021-22 (wage bill £23.80m). The following season another £6m was saved. Amortisation on transfer fees saved over Pearson time was £20m. Add sales of players. Nothing to offset the losses? More nonsense.

I must admit I don’t always read the whole thread - especially when recovering from Xmas festivities <cheers>
We stocked the bar up with Guinness and Madri on draught - it was a blinder!!
I need a serious detox now. Today is my last day I’m allowing myself a beer. I’m going dry from tomorrow until 6th Feb (with 2 exceptions for birthdays).

I never used to be a part time drinker

I was an all day every day drinker whenever possible, lager, Gin, Whisky, Wine etc, until I decided to change my ways

It would be very easy to go back to it but I’m not going to

I drink beer. Every day.
Rarely any other alcohol - an occasional glass of wine with a meal maybe and an even rarer shot of spirits (3 times a year?)
But I am very much a beer monster. I just love the stuff - it’s wonderful.
I need to give my liver a break though - and prove to myself (and the wife) that I can do without it!!
Desperately trying to finish off the rest of the 11 gallon keg of Guinness before midnight <ale>
