BU at it again

Not got much on in work, so typed out the below response to the above. I truly can't stand that bunch of moaning 's

This article is based on two quotes:-

1) ' “Look, we have just done a document to the bank which says you can’t stop the football club from trading…do you not think the bank doesn’t ask me every week how we’re doing with the sale? They’re desperate. So what I’ve told them is ‘don’t kill us this season’…no I will not sell Jagielka, just as last year I was hung drawn and quartered for not selling Arteta. You know the four players we don’t dare sell. Baines, Jagielka, Fellaini and Tim Howard; In simple arithmetic, if you want me show you, £5m a year for 9 years is £45m…The Pienaar money has gone to the bank." – Chairman Bill Kenwright, August 2011.'

This is almost immediately after - "But with things going extremely well on the pitch the situation off the pitch is as worrying now as it was this time last year with club officials sending out confusing messages."

So this example shows what was going on LAST YEAR, and why you were worried LAST YEAR. Nothing about why you might be worried THIS YEAR. And if you think the second quote is reason to worry, well................

2) ‘Annual financial results will show that bank debt has not gone down’ – Director of Communications Paul Tyrrell, 16th July 2012 on Twitter.

Why does your article mention this, and yet not mention the fact that a large amount of the transfer fees received over the last few years have now been reinvested in players and facilities? Myself, I feel pretty good knowing we may spend more than we sell this summer and the TV money goes up next summer, meaning we no longer have to sell to buy.

Whatever you think about BK (and I think many terrible things), I don't get why they have to drag down the sudden sense of optimism surrounding the club
