Blackburn spending

[sharpey38]

just seen they have signed Leon Best for £3mil, Zaha looking like £4mil.

Must admit, it looks like they are going for it.

 

[El Turi]

Best is a very good signing at this level. It's a bit strange as the chicken men hardly spent any money when they were in the Premiership.

 

[OSRGull]

Zaha?

Now if that happened it'd be f***ing hilarious !

Just what I was thinking.

Kean was on a shoestring in the Prem. Now they've gone down, they're splashing millions. Or is this just the parachute payments they're rifling through in a shit-or-bust season ?

Maybe they could see a lot of deadwood and thought getting relegated would be the easiest way of clearing out (like newcastle did). Only will work IF they gain promotion pronto. As it stands at the moment they must be favourites for top spot?

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Obviously think they have won the lottery with the parachute payment

 

[public school boy]

Parrot shoot payment being put to use

tis wierd. and keeping Kean on, who lets face it on all the evidence so far, is a shit manager.

Zaha rumour is bullshit

Not really. They get a hell of a lot more being in the PL and they didn't spend then.

That was before they knew they could be relegated

 

[Farehamseagull]

Best and Murphy seem like very good signings at this level. Im very suprised they're spending money now they're down. Unless the owners still think they cant get relegated?!

Another example to us of how hard it is going to be to challenge for promotion next season also. To be honest, I will be very happy if we finish in the same position again.

It will all end in tears and a 10 point deduction

Don't start counting your chickens.

It looks a bit shit or bust.

 

[Muzzy]

I think they'll do a Leicester. Spend loads and struggle to achieve.

 

[Acker79]

Zaha rumour is bullshit

Was the supposed tweet from blackburn not from the real blackburn? Was it a "I heard that so and so said..." thing and was never tweeted?

 

[Ninja Elephant]

It's hard to see them struggling with Steve Kean as their manager.

 

[Box of Frogs]

Zaha rumour is bullshit

But very funny!

 

[Surf's Up]

and ain't that the problem with parachute payments? I thought they were designed so that clubs could come to terms with paying premiershit wages in the championship and thus avoid receivership etc not so they could go down to the sweety shop and buy what they like?!!
