Park Life 70 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Commercial and matchday income is tied into goodwill and the prevailing economic climate to an extent...That's not to say that they are singularly lacking in vision. I'd imagine (and I'm guessing) that commercial income has dropped at most clubs outside of the CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 There is 10m of commercial income missing, where it was lost is not clear. I imagine that during the period 2005 to 2008 there were a lot of corporate boxes paying top whack. I also know that those sort of expenses are the first to go when the economy tanks. Not sure that explains it all. You've got a couple of mill on catering too but that should also have reduced headcount, admin and sourcing costs. Hard to judge without a breakdown of the 34m which was the peak of the commercial line around 06 ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 3472 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I dont want to go over old ground too much but just what is Sissoko supposed to do sitting (correct me if I'm worng) in front of the back 4? Thats Tiote's job, Sissoko's the box to box midfielder. Anyway as long as he's not put on the wings I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Err...he was never picked on the wing, thats a 442 which we never played after he signed. box to box....nope. not having it. theyre scarcer than hens teeth at the top level . you need to rest in possesion nowadays. we've not had a player like that since poor old Gary Speed's legs gave up a decade ago. He's an attacker who shouldnt be asked to get back anywhere beyond his own centre circle iyam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9010 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 If we sign Remy and add Gomis or Bent as well, I think we're sorted up front.We're still being heavily linked with McCarthy of Wigan, but if the fee is correct, I'd prefer us to spend £15m on Will Hughes of Derby as he's younger and, in my opinion, has a brighter future ahead of him. I think we're still a little short in defence and I'd like to see an experienced centre back joining us. Curious as to why it's taking so much longer to get stuff sorted.

StellarStripes 0 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Remy and Hatem either side/just behind a front man would be dangerous for any side. This excites me. As does an adapted Sissoko playing in a three with Tiote and Cabaye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobos 297 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I wouldn't see Sissoko as being adapted playing there, he's a DMF anyway . I think us lot put this "box to box" label on him. I'd prefer Sissoko over Tiote any day tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarStripes 0 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Tiote will sit in front of the back 4. Cabaye(pulling the strings) and Sissoko(power/direct) more advanced but operating different roles. Edited August 5, 2013 by StellarStripes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wtf are you two going on about? no one knows where this fucker should be playing, least of all him or his manager. What is he being adapted from/to?...or not?

PaddockLad 14626 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 That's how it should be. Its not how Pardew plays it though, thats the problem. He has 2 sitting in, even at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I can see him playing more of a Krul Debuchy Mbiwa Colo Santon Tiote Cabaye Sissoko HBA-------------------- Remy Cisse Which is frankly a waste of the 3 central players' positives. Tiote is more than capable of prowling the area in front of a back four, breaking up attacks and laying off the ball to MS, YC, or the fullbacks. Cabaye should be slightly advanced to spray the balls about and dictate the tempo. Sissoko should use his pace, power and engine to maraud up and down the pitch all day long.

Thats how I see it going, but with Gouffran starting, cant see wee Hatem being fit,like, ever tbh. If we do have Cabaye sitting in more, it does release Sissoko more on the counter, which is basically how we play, very defensively. Pardew was a full back, KK was a striker..go figure..

Makes me wonder how he didnt get to the WC in 86...Butcher,Alvin Martin and Terry Fenwick, he was a better footballer than fuckin the last two, thats for sure..
