Richard Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Levy vs Tweedledum and Tweedledee I wouldn't fancy us to away with a good deal.we'd probably end up giving them Benteke And 5m for Livermore on a 6 month loan, paying him 100k a week in the process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCforever1991 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I think the Liverpool owners were even more incompetent that Lerner/Faulkner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to selling, which is the discussion about Benteke, they've done quite well. Held out for Barry and got a rather good deal for a player on his last year of the contract. Same with Young. And both wanted to leave. Good money for Downing. As it were back then I'd even say that we got pretty good money for Cahill. Milner too, although that deal wasn't the best deal they've done. Quite bad, actually, as it seems they did that without the managers approval or any manager at all. And Milner would've stayed. That's the one real f*k up they've done when it comes to selling players. So I'm not that worried when it comes to selling players. They've made other misstakes that they can take blame for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hants-villa72 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 It's depressing we have to sell him at all after only a year! even more so if it's so someone like Spurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbr600rr Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 selling our best players has left us in bottom three..when will we learn? do you think as a fan we will see any of the profit from selling the player? cheaper tickets? not a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelle Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I don't expect cheaper tickets. And that's not because I'm only there once or twice a season. I expect good players replacing them. That's one part where we've failed. And we haven't sold him yet. Keep the faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never got good money for Cahill. You could argue that we did at the time. He wasn't good enough for our immediate first team so took a step back to go to Bolton in order to get first team football. He was shaky early on for them as well, I seem to remember him getting destroyed by Carew at Villa Park when we tonked them. The fact is we were competing for 4th and Cahill wasn't good enough to start, we were better off with players who were better at the time and far more experienced. It's unfortunate that we don't have that option right now, it's costing us big. Edited April 4, 2013 by Dr_Pangloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 We have replaced those players mentioned here. O'Neill brought in Downing with the money he got from the Barry sale. Houllier got Bent, Makoun, and Ireland for the Milner money. Most of last summer's recruits as well as Zog/Given/Hutton were bought from the Young/Downing money. Why should Lerner throw another few tens of millions in on top of that when he's seen how much is being wasted and how much financial trouble the club's in. I'd keep a few quid back for myself too.

To be fair, none of that is true at all. For what you say to be the case, player signings would need to be the only expenditure of the club. The money brought in from those sales went on WAGES. Lots and lots of wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots and lots of wages I know I'm being simplistic just to make a point, but we were paying the players that left hefty wages too. I don't know what Barry/Downing/Young etc were on when they were here but it can't have been that much less than what we replaced them with.

Lerner has spent £16 million in compensation to ex managers. Just as guilty for throwing money away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
