Where do you get £70,000 from, it's just under £2mNot over eight years, it's not. Surely. Unless £70,000 is big spending.
It's not a lot?United bought 31 players in over that time period (and sold a lot more). 15 million devided by 31 is just under £500000 a transfer, and over the time period it's under £2 million a year. For a big club, that's not a lot, in the late 80s and early 90s.
Then why on earth do they put in a appreance like payment in it then? Seems little point in saying a player just to screw him over.IIRC he was told by Reading he wouldn't play for them again in the middle of last season because he was 1 appearance away from triggering a payment, so he came to Coventry for a while.
Always for me a player where the hype overshadowed what he's actually achieved.
It was because he was ageing, diminishing in ability and going to be released in the summer - they saw no point in playing him any further.Then why on earth do they put in a appreance like payment in it then?
Kuyt also had a perfectly good goal disallowed.That goal should have never stood. Filthy about Dirk Kuyt right now. Even more angry that Mikel (I think it was) just let the little dutch gob****e shove him around like that. Shove the **** back and do your job, idiot.
No, it's not, if you compare it with Liverpool you'll see where I'm coming from.It's not a lot?
It's equivalent to current day being £15-20m per year - which is not an insignificant amount at all...
Tbf Middlesbrough made the UEFA final last year whilst playing decidedly averagely in the league.I personally don't see at as anything to get proud of as an Englishman anyway, if it does happen. I mean there will be a few Englishmen playing, but it's hardly a great indication of English football. There's four clubs who dominate everything, and the rest may as well be on a different planet
Yet, they were beyond bloody fortunate to get there and an absolutely disgrace in the final.Tbf Middlesbrough made the UEFA final last year whilst playing decidedly averagely in the league.
That's true, but had Agger's not been allowed, Kuyt's might not have happened.Kuyt also had a perfectly good goal disallowed.
