UNCLASSIFIED Why don't we sit somewhere in the middle then? A little less on the stadium and more on players. Is this more about Morgan's long term business plan or Wolves on field success? Personally I think its a very dangerous game that we are playing, hardly strengthening a team that barely survived relegation last year cannot be anything other than a "big risk"

I assume Wolves is run like any other business that needs to break even or make a profit to avoid the risk of going bust. We have the best run "business" in the league. Unfortunately that is not consistent with having the best "team' in the league in the short term. In the long term, it should pay off as we don't have a load of debt to suck resources from the football budget. Arsenal have cleared out a lot of players as they can't afford the wages anymore. The football world is starting to turn. There are plenty of clubs that are heading towards real financial trouble with the level of debt they are carrying. Whether the stadium expansion was a good idea is the only question here. I can only assume that the business plan was sound in that it gavea stream of money over the long term that could be used for football purposes whereas spending money on players and wages is a short term fix that catches up in the end On 4 October 2011 10:57, Morris, Lee SGT <[email protected]> wrote: UNCLASSIFIED Have we ever stopped saying that? I think it was pointed out after we struggled to beat Blackburn. If they can spend money on stadium improvemnets that aren't required, they should be able to find money for players that are obvioulsy required.

I'm still waiting for someone to say where the money should be coming from. It's been nearly six months now and nobody has explained it to me. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Steven Millward <[email protected]> Date: 23 May 2011 09:25 Subject: Re: [NSWolves] Thanks Mick [sec=unclassified] To: [email protected] "We have the basis of a decent team, but anyone who thinks we don't need serious strengthening is kidding themselves." "Some real quality is needed, we paid big money..." Agreed. It would be great to improve the side. Your suggestion is that we spend big money to do it. So who's going to put the money up? You? Or are you suggesting that we borrow the money? And what about wages, should we borrow to pay those too? I'm still dying to hear some constructive analysis about how the club should change the way it is run cause I'm not hearing much except "buy more expensive players".

Elokobi is an awesome Guy, loves our club to bits and has improved out of site over the last couple of years, and I hope he keeps improving. I'm just not sure he is good enough yet.... Henry is definately not, he panicked every time he got given the ball last night, was wreckless in the challenge, and lucky not to cost us either by being sent off or giving stupid free kicks away. We have the basis of a decent team, but anyone who thinks we don't need serious strengthening is kidding themselves. Some real quality is needed, we paid big money for Doyle, who kept us up last year and big money for Fletcher and Hunt, who were both keys to us finally staying up this year. So no coincidence that serious money needs to be spent to make a serious difference. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Paul Crowe Sent: Monday, 23 May 2011 08:46 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NSWolves] Thanks Mick [sec=unclassified] Hunt was magnificent today, his terrier, never say die work ethic turned the tide for us second half and what a goal to cap his performance of with!! Wish list for next season: Left Back Centre Half O'Hara Centre midfielder Striker I can see the likes of Milijas, Ebanks-Blake, Elokobi and Henry (please God) being moved on in the Summer to generate funds for new signings. Still think Milijas has something to offer us but MM doesn't see it so best to move him on. Can't see Morgan getting rid of MM after keeping us up, huge call if he does. It will be interesting to see who replaces Clipboard? Maybe this new guy will have an impact on tactics / team selection? Very enjoyable season in the end, 11 wins and a couple more points than last year, just wish we could be more consistent. Marcus's how about starting at that same Pub we went to last year? Better beer than Royal North Shore!
