And since there's a lot of talk about who was given more in their first year...

Martin O'Neill profit/loss in first year: -16m

Gordon Strachan profit/loss in first year: -6.9m

 

why does this need a separate thread

 

we bought agathe for £35000
naka was 1.25mil
donati 1.5mil

and who's lensky?

 

Because it's a very seperate topic, and people might not want to view through 11 pages in the other thread.

I thought that was obvious to be honest...

 

Jacob Lensky, I think he's at a Dutch club now.

 

he's at feyenoord

 

guppy cost 150 k

 

Lol... this thread isn't for arguing about numbers.

 

Canadian Boy. Went to Feyenoord last year didn't he?

 

So do you guys think the board hasn't backed Strachan enough financially in comparison to O'Neill?

 

I also thought boruc was 700k.

 

who cares about that MON is in the past you cant compare eveything about strachan to MON

 

*... guys come on this is supposed to provoke intelligent discussion about the board and how supportive it has been... not trying to gain brownie points by nit-picking at figures.

 

That is one of the most sheep-ish (and by that I mean you are following the crowd) and stupid comments I've ever heard.

You've obviously seen people criticise WGS/MON threads and decided to jump on the band wagon.

Can you explain to me how on earth this is a WGS vs MON thread? I suggest you read very carefully...

 

look at the thread title

MON/WGS- explains it all


and you are using the stats to say that MON was better backed than WGS which is comparing them which isa MON vs WGS thread


also you started another MON vs WGS thread a couple of days ago

 

That isn't a proper answer...

This thread discusses how the board may have fairly or unfairly backed either manager.

This is not a 'Who is better MON or GS' thread. Please read the post before trying to copy what other people have said on other threads. No one is impressed.

 

well i have yet to see a single person discuss that in this thread



also what makes you think im trying to impress people, im not as petty or small as trying to impress people least of all you on the internet

 

This really is hopeless...

If you'd read the other thread you'd know what this was intended for.

I never said you were trying to impress me... you seem to be getting everything wrong.

 

you said "no one is impressed" indicating you thought i was trying to impress people

 

I think you are trying to impress others, yes. Not myself.
