Maybe you might have used " he's trying to look like a ring master, after the circus has left town"

I think that works better

I enjoy your idiom and metaphor infused writing style very much. But your latest post has left me scratching my head a little.
Specifically, I am confused by your association of big rollers with circuses ? I don't perceive circuses as high stakes, glamorous events...have I got this all wrong?

I like to mix metaphors to keep others on their toes.

It worked.

if you think that that's fine, but the end of the day that will improve the club wont it ? another positive he'll be bringing to the table !

Hardly him doing it. His biggest plus point on a new stadium is that he's not the old regime - who were a busted flush locally and without credibility for any more stadium schemes.

Not being Kenwright and Woods isn't that big a deal.

It's not really a mixed metaphor though, it's more a confused figurative.
But like your work mate, carry on.

Take a look at the most successful teams in the PL and how much they spend on players. Then you'll understand. You cant achieve anything without spending in this league.

But spending out has nothing to do with if you have a one-off player that you sell for a fortune. As I said, if we sold Lukaku for £200m, how much would we have to spend? What if we bought Vardy and he scored 30 goals? If Madrid sold Ronaldo for £300m, how much do they have to spend? What if Messi was sold - crikey Barca would have to buy the entire Man City team.

It's not a one off for us. We do it constantly. Stones last summer; it'll be Barkely and Lukaku this season and no doubt Davies sometime in the future. We then use that to buy more players.

It's just what we do. The model.

It made me laugh when Kone joined that Turkish outfit and some wag on here said it can't have been a very hard medical he passed...the only question on it was 'can you breathe?'

lollol

It's why he's here - to co-ordinate the efforts the local state and have other parties raise the money in order to pay for a stadium which adds value to his shares with a future sell off in mind as the long term goal.

He'll make money out of us when he sells, no doubt. But so did Green. But the way I look at it, what he makes will be compensated for by having a new stadium on the waterfront.

It's the only suitable model.

I agree. It needs doing and he has no previous with the local state.

He's more a facilitator than anything though.

It is if you have the poorest billionaire in the world.

You moan the man is going to saddle the club with long term stadium related debt yet yearn for him to be at the forefront of 100m plus transfer outlays.

Go figure which side of the fence fits your WUM agenda this hour eh.

You gotta buck up, Dude. You can't go into the season with this negative attitude. I can see you don't want to be cheered up here !
