juanpablo if we bid silly money for Sig then the money was there, it would appear Brian/Nicky failed to find suitable targets with the cash

Elm Park Pasty To be honest do we really know what went on financially? A lot of people are complaining about BM had money to spend but chose not to in the summer 'to give the group a chance' and then tried for only a couple of January. None of us will really know what went on or how much money there was until someone on the inside comes out and says so, anything else at this point is conjecture. BM said in the Summer he was happy with what he got, and then said later we should have got more in, that does not mean the money was not there. Without there being specific details in the public domain none of us know what could or could not have been spent if the opportunity arose, or whether he indeed was curtailed by lack of finance.

agreed- cant really start throwing the blame around till we find out who made the decisions on budget, and the reasons behind them.

Plan A/B/C/D didn't come to fruition and opportunities potentially arose that were too good to turn down that due to circumstances outside of our control eventually never were.

facaldaqui I think the investment thing is irrelevant. This team has been very close in a lot of matches: arguably things could have been turned round without much money. If money were the answer, why have QPR been in a mess? And how did we get promoted last year against better funded sides?
People need to decide whether this is about Brian or about investment. If Brian could have survived in the prem with more money, then stop on about his inability to manage at this level. If he could not, then is money a factor?--especially given how close we are to surival. And people should stop to think before they go recommending managers like Di Matteo and Adkins, both of whom had more to spend at this level than Brian. The more I think about it, the more I think we should have continued with Brian, and then replaced him if we stayed up and kept him if we went down. Where on earth will we find a better manager at championship level? (Not that I am giving up the premier ghost just yet.)

mbb Does no one remember the Football Focus interview with AZ when they did the programme from the Mad Stad?
He said then that money was available. He ain't gonna say how much, is he! Then you get clubs inflating players values.
Brian has never been in the big money spending league, it just wasn't on his radar when he was scout or obviously as manager.

See Brendy, you are the living proof of what I have been frustrated by! Why do we have to blame someone?!?! 90% of us were happy with our summer investments as 90% of us watched us finish 8th with similar or less investment last time around:
