Irrelevant Nick KP 0 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) 1. I don't regard bought success as honourable success. I want success and honour for the club that I do support. I was totally distraught that we didn't finish 9th, after WBA fought back to 3-3. I can't prove how distraught I was, but I know I was, and that tells me that there's nothing alleged about my support. That 9th place would have been fantastically honorable for our relatively small spending (compared to other clubs). The big winner at the Oscars this year, coast 9 million to produce, in comparison with the Quantum of Solace which cost 140 million. In my view, the cheapness of the film production GREATLY increases the honour of the film makers and actors. So yes, the principle is the same in films as with football, as far as I'm concerned. So we agree on that point. So you need to support Athletic Bilbao because it's impossible for NUFC to be a successful club without spending money - especially when the man you champion feels it is better to sell the promising local talent from the club. Seriously how is 9th place honourable in your eyes when Fulham and Everton can finish higher spending less? As for the film industry, Do Not Talk To Me about it as you know Nothing. No, I don't need to support Athletic Bilbao. Every club, has the opportunity to perform better than its outlay. Fulham and Everton have spent more than us NET in the last 5 years, but... Even if those 2 had spent less than us, we would still be honorable - just not the most honorable in the league, because they would have been more honorable. As far as I'm concerned 9th would have been success for us - REAL success. And anyway, what kind of Toon fan gushes all over Athletic Bilbao, while not acknowledging that the TOON have done very well without spending much! Your statement about my knowledge about the film industry needs evidence for it not just to be a bullshit throwaway remark.

sammynb 2929 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Your statement about my knowledge about the film industry needs evidence for it not just to be a bullshit throwaway remark. It needs no evidence when I experience it everyday and you do nothing but speculate about it. A bit like what you spout regarding football and the realities of it. I enjoyed how for all your prosperous thoughts about NUFC you still managed to ignore: We should just employ League 2 players as they are happy on 1k a week.

Guest alex Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 The latest crack from the club about how the Carroll money will be / has been spent is Orwellian. What a fucking joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed how for all your prosperous thoughts about NUFC you still managed to ignore: We should just employ League 2 players as they are happy on 1k a week. Who says we should just pay 1000 a week? Not I. But if we did decide to do that, then I would simply adjust my expectations, accordingly, and regard maintaining a league 1 status as fantastic success. I'll never again fall into the trap of demanding that my club pays players 80,000 a week, which is the ludicrous thing that has happened now, to many fans. Your job doesn't incluence how much I know about the film industry. I also think you should look up the word 'speculate'. I have provided you with facts about film costs. Not speculated.

Going all Leazesmag, please show me a quote where I'm asking the club to pay 80k in wages? Market value for players we require. No you haven't, you've quoted budgets, not costs - exactly what a know nowt does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I have a sales guy doing well, I dont really care whether all his paperwork is up to date. You tend to over look what goes on behind the scenes if what they produce is good. Similar here. If we were doing well, we wouldnt give a shite whether we were in huge debt or being ran as tight as a thai factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
