i thought Brizzle did have a wealthy benefactor (a local Bristolian at that)

Forest do, they were discussed on here before, Nigel Doughty i think

Watford could still be in a lot of s**t there Mr Rodgers may still turn out to be more Peter Grant than another Ady Boothroyd (or Alan Irvine for that matter)

i thought Sheff Utd did have a fair bit of wealth behind them too?

        Sheff Utd have millions from the Tevez thing no? (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, May 5, 18:43:50
        
        Of course! Dunno if they were exactly super-rich before that though (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 5, 18:44:34
        
        Rich enough to gamble on paying what I would imagine were hefty wages for Beattie (n/m) (NCFC) - Klobo04, May 5, 18:45:25

        Parachute payments must've had something to do with that though? (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 5, 18:49:40
        
        Not sure. If Sheff U do, they've also developed gradually and not gone crazy (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 5, 18:43:43
        
        You can hardly say Blackpool waste money on off the field expenditure (NCFC) - Klobo04, May 5, 18:32:45
        
        Oh, indeed! In different ways, Pompey and Blackpool really piss me off (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 5, 18:38:33
        
        I prefer that to lego stadiums (n/m) (NCFC) - Charles21, May 5, 18:42:07
        
        Not sure if I prefer being at Pompey under no roof when it's pissing down though! (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 5, 18:48:40
        
        well they have a roof now anyway at Pompey (NCFC) - Charles21, May 5, 18:51:03
        
        Really dont like the new style bowl stadiums (NCFC) - Klobo04, May 5, 18:42:49

        Fingers crossed. I'll never forgive them for lying down at West Brom in '05 (NCFC) - thebigfeller, May 5, 18:42:25
        
        Their about 80 million up the shitter arent they? (n/m) (NCFC) - Klobo04, May 5, 18:42:13
        
        Not only that, they posted a ?16.5m loss for 07/08 (NCFC) - Iwan Husarmi, May 5, 18:47:47
        
        i wonder how the next big thing is doing (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, May 5, 18:50:29
        
        surely a stadium is a football-related cost though (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, May 5, 18:38:28
