When was the last time anyone used a chequebook? | | | |
Chequebook FC on 14:15 - Jul 27 with 5372 views | ElderGrizzly | Because they won the FA Cup on a squad built off a packet of pork scratchings? Especially as once the window is done, I bet we haven't spent (nett) that much at all. | | | |
Chequebook FC on 14:16 - Jul 27 with 5339 views | ITFC_Jenx | The same Portsmouth that a decade or so ago were paying John Utaka 50k+ a week. Short memories Pompey. | | | |
Chequebook FC on 14:17 - Jul 27 with 5346 views | PhilTWTD | They weren't even in the running as far as I understand it. Three Championship sides were after him, Derby, who obviously are struggling big time and wanted to do a loan, and Peterborough and Millwall, who had offers turned down. | | | |
Chequebook FC on 14:19 - Jul 27 with 5243 views | BlueNomad | From the supporters of many clubs I could see what they mean. From them its laughable. Redknapp and the owner whose name I forget drove them into the ground. I bet at the time they thought, “I wish this club wasn’t splashing the cash”……….

Chequebook FC on 14:21 - Jul 27 with 5183 views | hype313 | Short memories eh. John Utaka £80k a week? (no me neither) David James £50k a week. In 2010 £131 million has been paid to the players in wages over three years. Glass houses etc... | |

80k for Utaka? Wow. | | | |
Chequebook FC on 14:41 - Jul 27 with 4881 views | Hipsterectomy | I didn't realise how little money they have/spent. One of their owners is something to do with Disney and they were expecting a lot more to be spent. I read them moaning that they will be going into the new season with Ellis Harrison as a starting striker. They played against Bristol City in a friendly and had to borrow one of their players and their whole youth set up is currently suspended, I believe, following investigations into it. I guess we'll see just how good the Cowley's are as coaches considering their team is looking pretty abysmal so far. | |

It's Michael Eisner, think you are right and was top dog at Disney for a very long time. Very wealthy man but his main business is a privately owned investment firm now, suspect Covid-19 impact has significantly influenced their ability to spend. Wasn't too long ago they spent nearly £2M on John Marquis in L1 though, we haven't even touched a seven figure fee yet. | |

He did claim he only earned a third of that, though. I do wonder how many people are happy to claim they only earn a third of what they get paid. [Post edited 27 Jul 2021 15:02]

Why though? It’s quite amusing and self-deprecating, reflects that Suffolk dry sense of humour. Jim hated it as he thought it made us sound like simple yokels but that’s why I like it! | |

If I recall correctly it started life as an ironic / witty reposte to other teams supporters referring to us as a ‘bunch of farmers’ etc. The media, who understand neither wit nor irony got hold of it and it’s been a slightly embarrassing mill stone around our neck ever since…. | | | |
