Think i know how Hicks got his "150mill net" figure for transfers.
According to the 'fact sheet' he gave Sky, the Torres transfer was £65mill. Lol.
Good one, lets include all wages and potential bonuses over a 5 year contract in the figure. idiot.
-edit-
2010/11 - Money in: £11.5 million.
Money out: 50.1 million.
Is this guy deluded?

Understand but how much money have and will they continue to sink in before this 'untapped' market pays dividends?
I tell you when never.
They watch the games for free and knock off their own shirts. They have no qualms what so ever ripping off the west and will continue to do so. It doesn't matter if there are 4 gazillion in the asian market if they don't pay for it.
China and India have massive a middle class who have just as much money as us. And just like us they want the real thing.

One down one to go. Egos need to follow Hodgson out the door in January.
Other than his appointment, you couldn't be more wrong.
He was appointed to find new investment to pay down the debt by the deadline to refinance with RBS back in Easter. He failed. As a result RBS extended the deal for a further 6 months and appointed Broughton to sell the club.
Despite him only being appointed to find investment and having no past experience in football, Purslow took it upon himself to make the 2 biggest footballing decisions the club has had in the past 6 years (sacking Benitez and then appointing Hodgson), as well as interfering with transfer dealings.
The man is a weasel that was trying to play God. He even took credit for the Standard Chartered sponsorship deal that Ian Ayre secured after monts of work, despite only being at the club a matter of weeks.
And if you believe what Rafa's had to say, with some reading in between the lines..
Purslow was made basically a director of football. In charge of 'cutting costs' (Hence the loans of Aqua and Insua this year), stopping some signings going through, doing some of his own etc.

Take my word for it, Rooney is on his way to Liverpool. I know because I heard Roy Hodgson saying "Looks like Wayne's coming".
I didn't hear any more because it started ****ing down and I had to run for cover.

My original post did contain pretty much what you've said but I've decided I need to move on and although I don't forgive Purslow's role in getting rid of Rafa I'm willing to wish him well for the future for finding us new owners.
He is still at the club though, in fact he got a promotion. He will be installed as Non Exec Director and Advisor to the owners

Not exactly. He's been removed from the day to day running of the club (and most importantly footballing matters). It's not that much different to David Moores being given a role at the club after he sold to H&G.
