Huge amount of money, Robinho, Guti and a document signed saying that Ronaldo can never play against Manchester United and is not to be play in the CL next season.

Laudrup quit getafe on the grounds of the club being too small and having to yet again borrow players from bigger clubs. He stated that he wanted a club that could match his ambitions. In that sense brfc is obviously a bigger club than Getafe, but it doesn't really seem like an ideal fit. His name rings quality though and could attract players, perhaps even more so than Hughes were able too. At least in scandinavia and southern europe, Laudrup is a much bigger name. I guess a point that might attract Laudrup is the ability of using the club as a stepping stone. It's harsh, but everybody want's to make it as far as possible and rovers just cant compete financially.

They averaged little more than 11,000 a game this season. Even we have big crowds compared to them!

As for managers using us as stepping stones...that is fine if, like Hughes, they leave us in a much better position than that in which they found us. Onwards and upwards...managers come and go but the club remains...and that is what is important.

You mean back in the Premier League with players like Friedel and Tugay in the team?

No, plummeting towards the Championship with Dickov as our star striker, and Amoruso our "rock" at the back.

Having sent around 20m quid on Grabbi, giving away Cole, losing a fortune on Ferguson, Yorke and Amoruso up in smoke.

More talk from City fans about our players. They fully believe we are going to bend over and give them our best players.

They fully believe we are going to bend over and pay for the vaseline too. :glare: ..time to test just how deep Dr. Thaksin's pockets are. Incidentally is he a real Doctor or a 'Dr' in the the sense of Dr. Ian Paisley or Dr. Who?

If I were Hughes, I would have been galled to hear that the Trust were just fulfilling the terms of their mandate by withdrawing funding when the very same Trust, under the very same mandate, had advanced Souness such large sums. It would not have been unreasonable for Hughes to question why he was getting less financial support than the last manager when club income has never been higher.

Add to that the fact that the club was up for sale and that I would have been surprised if Hughes had indeed ever met the Trustees. Under those circumstances, a dodgy hands-on foreigner with dodgy cash doesn't seem too bad an option in comparison to an invisible set of tax exiles with no apparent interest or cash to spend.

He's met a Trustee.
