• If this is true then it shows you how bad the club, was being run before the silent friedkin’s, got hold of us John. This is one of the reasons why I’m not totally convinced by them now because although I read some people praising them, my own view is that anyone, and I mean f***ing anyone, was going to be a massive improvement on the people who had been there before them.rnrnIt makes me laugh reading some of these posts when people are even suggesting the market is that bad we might be better trying to convert a player, from a different into a fullback - like Jake O’Brien🙈rnrnThe Liverpool manager will definitely find a fullback because he understands the importance of stretching the pitch and playing with width, whereas this has never appeared to be that high on the agenda for David Moyes, except for the time when Baines and Pienaar, really hit it off....

Granted I think the other 3 will make a lot more but even so.rnrnIf I\'m fairly close on my numbers of maybe £2, revenue for all of them (and that looks optimistic to me, but I may be wrong) then the new rules, very roughly, will allow us to buy a player for c £4m on a 5 year contract at £40k per week.
