Premiership crowds / League 1 wages

We have massive crowds at ER and I know we could attract some decent players but bates and his stubborn wages restrictions are going to leave us lingering in this league. bates wins with the current setup, why would he want us to go up, he would have to pay massive wages and we all know he is not willing to do that. Really wish the cockney old git would sell up.

RSL, he will suck it dry mate! Sell anything not in concrete before he leaves. Will not have to switch the lights off, they will have been cut by then.

Revies Super, it's odd reading when someone keeps saying the club is bigger then Bates, and he cant bring it to its knees!..

If thats the case then the club are definitely winning!..

Its odd that the players that are going out aren't being replaced, if thats the case then Leeds United are doing a great job at bringing itself to its knees!..

Over here you have something known as the 51/49!..

It means the club owns 51% of itself and anyone else cant get more then 49%!..

Therefore the club says how things go and not one individual, and at most clubs the fans have a say in things as well!..

The clubs and fans are closer to their teams here then they are in England,

believe it or not Bates needs the fans,that is why he chose a massive fan base

I wonder if any of the Chelsea fans said that when he wanted to electocute them?..

He's where he is by doing exactly what he is doing, and believe it or not, trying what you want won't make any difference to what he wants or the way he gets it!..

So no cash makes no difference?
Some world that is
Not a world for Bates,that is for sure.

You can look at it from your world and say "well don't give him what he wants!..

He can look at it from his world and say, "well the money isn't coming in, so I'll have to look at other ways of doing things"!.

So instead of always saying don't do this, that and the other, answer one thing!..

If you were him and he was you, what would you do knowing one way or the other you'll get what you want?..

Forget one thing not, its him who will lose, or its you!..

And I don't think he's going to let you win!..

the stakes are far higher for Bates
The fans just disappear then come back, rather simple.
What does Bates do?
Sell players then what?

Sell the club or ????????????????
Selll what?
Any other assets?
Of course selling players leads to relegation,even less fans and of course a very vulnerable owner
