Sparky's Retreads....

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

We also lost Mike Rigg to QPR.

Something is going on.

Rigg and Hughes are massive bum chums. He was always going to go where ever Hughes goes. I didn't even raise my eyebrows when I heard about him going to QPR.

Whatever, it's 3 of our top scouts, all gone. Someone else is doing their jobs.

I'm pretty sure we will be able to replace them with some top names in the game. No worries.

I feel like posting something like

You can't pick ANC choose which of his signings you give him credit for, with the possible exception of robinho and Jo.

But I'm sure I'd be called a licker by some brain dead moron who cant just read what I wrote rather than what they want to see.

Exactly. Some on here seem to criticise Hughes for the bad signings yet any of the good signings were 'nothing to do with him'.

[Ted Hughes]

he'll overpay for prem players 6 days out of 7.

Amen to that! He really got fleeced on a couple of deals. And Bridge on 90k a week!

Just for the record, I don't think Hughes arranged the wages of Bridge or anyone else, I think we were happy to throw money at it & had we told Hughes to be prudent, he would have been. Remember Kaka ?

Absolutely not. Neither does Mancini.

Again, in club like ours it's not manager who discusses about wages. We have group of people dealing with things like. Mostly lawyers probably.

This.

Never really understood how managers get stick for putting players on crazy wages, as if they get left alone in a room together to work it out. I wouldnt mind knowing WHO it is though - i wonder if the fella(s) that brokered those deals are still there now that half of them are still stuck on our books on silly money.

I recon Cook etc were just told not to worry about it at the time whilst we got ourselves established as a serious club. Now we are making it known that in the future, we will only pay big wages to big players.
