The wolves Way

[darlowolf64]

Absolutely O Hara and Johnson is undisputable evidence that high wages have no relevance to league position at all , like I said earlier its coincidence the top four wage payers last season were united, city , arsenal and Chelsea and Burnley the lowest payers. The evidence is clearly flawed.

You truely are a selective ##+11!$#

I'm sure its also coincidence that our highest paid players last season were Sako , Dicko and Afobe who were clearly no better than some of our lower paid gems from the academy.

I'd be interested to see where someone like Southampton fit in to the wages table. Considering they were playing in League 2 a few seasons back and are about to enter their 4th straight season in the premier league (with European football to boot), I'd hazard a guess that the likes of Spurs, West Ham & Newcastle offer much higher wages than Saints, despite playing much less appealing football and finishing lower in the league.

To be honest, I don't really get your point BlueSkies. I tried - but then it all got muddied when you keep going around in circles with no real end point/statement.

You'd be happy to watch us play out the rest of your life in the Championship. Fair enough, we get that. Most football fans will (quite rightly) disagree with you - because the majority of football fans want to see their club competing at the highest level. You also keep positing arguments about clubs who can pay higher wages generally finishing higher in the league. Who's disagreeing with you? It doesn't stop us from wanting to compete with those clubs to the best of our ability.

To tell the truth, kids arguments about 'wummery' and 'forum cliques' aside, I think you're a fan of the wrong sport.

How am I being selective mentioning the entire top four of the English top flight last season.. you're talking nonsense so I'm just humouring your madness

 

[BlueSkies]

Southamptons wage bill was over 55 million last season , nearly double what we ever paid.

So when Wolves are promoted back to the Premier League you think our tight arsed owner should compete on wages with the top four?

Ah, wondered how long it would be before this thread got spoiled by personally abusive comments, was enjoying it to start with, don't think I'll bother with it any more

 

[BlueSkies]

Nailed! There is a difference in the quality a top 6 side can go for and the quality a newly promoted team can go for. .

but we weren't newly promoted were we? We were entering our third premiership season with the second lowest wage bill in the entire division.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Top 10 rated players from last year in the premier league. Only Jedenak is on under 50k a week now and Only Jones in English. No one on this list is worth less than 10million Jedenak and most worth 20 plus. All are out of our price range and the price range of any of the promoted clubs. Schniederling is off to ,,,,,,,,,,,,, top 6 Man U. Its just the way it is now

I didn't swear or insult...I merely entered a number of strange digits and signs so as not to say what I could of put.
As for insults, despite looking and finding figures that kind of backed up Mr Blue Skies he took it upon himself to call me a mad dog

and they were still only ranked 15th which is why Koeman got manager of the year . What was our wage bill again? http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/premier-league-wage-table-revealed-5560964

It was rather naughty wasn't it.

Yes. But that's like comparing apples to oranges. It's naive to compare wages of 2014/15 to 2011/12. A lot can change in three years - especially in football (and let's not turn this chat political and start talking about inflation rates! :icon_lol.

Southampton were the 16th lowest payers in the Premier League last season - out of 20. Yet they finished 7th and are competing in Europe next season.

With that in mind, I don't understand or agree with you when you say its complete "fantasy". No one is arguing with you that the top 4/5 clubs in this country are in a league of their own with both wages and player quality; but you can't honestly sit there and say you wouldn't want us to do what a club like Southampton have done?

So, in comparison to the other teams, they spend very little. In the few years since we were relegated the money to the Premier teams has increased so who is to say what our wage bill would of been were we still there?
Q.P.R did really well on their wage budget. Whatever happened to them last season?

I know that comparisons between the 70's and now are unrealistic, but please indulge me:

Back in the early 70's the teams with the big name players were Arsenal, Leeds United, Liverpool, Everton and the two Manchester clubs, both of whom fell from grace in the mid 70's. Wolves at that time could not attract the kind of players that the big guns could, but first Ronnie Allen and then Bill McGarry went down a different route. We brought in a leader, Mike Bailey, whose fitness was not certain following his broken leg while playing for Charlton Athletic. They also brought through younger players like Parkes, McAlle, Richards and Taylor. A gamble was taken when we signed Waggy, Parkin and Hibbitt, as no -one knew if they would be good enough for Division One. An even bigger gamble was taken on The Doog and Frank Munro, who both had reputations as being disruptive. But these players were brought in and were welded into a team, and they became a very good team, finishing 4th in division one, winning two league cup finals, one European final, and two FA Cup semi finals. A record to be proud of.

Now I am not saying that is/was the Wolves way, but with supposedly lesser players we more than held our own against the best. Who can ever forget the champions, Arsenal, being slaughtered at Molineux. I fully accept that with the money in the game now, it would be extremely difficult for Wolves to break into the top six, but who knows what could happen if we reach the Premier League again, consolidate and move forward. There is no reason why we could not emulate the likes of Stoke City, although it would be extremely difficult to do so. I think though it would be fair to say that if we got promoted, survival would be our biggest ambition to begin with.

Where have I said we should compete with the top four, as usual you are taking your arguments to absurd extremes. You were saying earlier today we spent 60 million over 3 seasons and when that was shown to be nonsense you revised that figure to 40 millions which was incorrect . You now have made up a comment that I think wolves should pay top four wages when I have never said anything remotely along those lines, whats wrong with you..are you genuinely on the wind up or just ill?

As has been mentioned previously, this thread is being watched. No personal comments please.

This whole thread is about BlueSkies hatred of Morgan. That is obvious, he thinks Morgan will not pay high enough wages or pay out enough on transfer fees and to disagree with him means you don't know what you're talking about.

Of course, he's happy to spend life in Championship......

Please show me ANY post where I have said we spent £60m... I think you are raging against the wrong poster here. I'm the one who tried to show spending was nearer your level of thinking.
Now don't just dismiss this, go back a few pages and find "my" £60m post!
