At no stage did FDB say "I am excited to join a club [that will allow me] to spend a lot of money" FDB was talking about the availability if money in the Premier League. This is gutter stuff and what you would expect from the vulgar red tops. What he actually said was "they spend a lot of money and there is the possibility to do something well with that money", which I'd agree is not quite the same as the headline suggests. But he does go on to say "we will look at one or two signings", which doesn't suggest a spending spree. It not too important what interpretation a copywriter puts on it as we all know what he meant.
Bexley Dave Can you hear the Brighton sing? I can't hear a ******* thing! "The most arrogant, obnoxious bunch of deluded little sun tanned, loafer wearing mummy's boys I've ever had the misfortune of having to listen to" (Burnley forum) |

Allardyce said the same and he went on to sign 4 players.

I think that your reaction is somewhat OTT as the BBC's headline could have been construed as tongue in cheek and not something worthy of a rant I took it to mean that we are planning to invest properly over time, in infrastructure and technology as well as players, but not necessarily that we had £100m to splurge with right now.

I watched the presser live. The thing that struck me most is that Parish is no longer the best dressed man at the club.

I was not totally convinced he is an out and out leader and felt Steve looked far more comfortable in front of the press. We need a capable manager not an after dinner speaker and if FDB isn't at his best performing in front of the world's media it isn't the end of the world

His first job is to buy a decent centre half - Sakho or someone as good but cheaper hopefully!). We need that to have a sporting chance.

Too much analysis going on of what FdB said.
