When was the last time anyone used a chequebook? |  | | |
| Chequebook FC on 14:15 - Jul 27 with 6052 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. |  | | |

The same Portsmouth that a decade or so ago were paying John Utaka 50k+ a week.
Short memories Pompey. |  | | |

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. |  | | |

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”……….

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... |  |

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. |  |

But how much have we actually paid in transfer fees ? |  |

80k for Utaka? Wow. |
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]

I know Jim Magilton hated that name but I’ve always quite liked it. |  |

So be it hey. Jealousy is a nasty trait
We’d perhaps be saying the same but you know what , we’re on the receiving end (in a good sense ) for a change and throughly deserve some good times

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! | |

They somehow never had a problem when we were getting Oli Hawkins off them.
Hope they keep crying. |  | | |

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…. | | | |
