        But he's paid out £20m in total... (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 17:46:55
        
        except the bank wouldn't also owe him £32m (Other Football) - blindasabat, Dec 3, 17:52:23
        
        Well if we got promoted.. (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 17:58:33

        Each to his own.... (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 18:07:28
        
        So he must be looking for a bit more ... (Other Football) - Old Git, Dec 3, 17:50:50
        
        I think they can work together though... (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 17:53:45
        
        it's early days for Mandaric at Leicester, but the Leicester fan at work is not a happy (Other Football) - blindasabat, Dec 3, 17:55:55
        
        Oh come on, it's black and white basab, the guy has just ploughed loads of free money in (Other Football) - pants, Dec 3, 17:44:02
      - It's a £20 million pound loan idiot! (n/m) (Other Football) - DUFFYIN, Dec 3, 17:14:29
    - Be well funny if he did though, eh? (n/m) (Other Football) - CB41, Dec 3, 17:10:32
      - Funny, but very unlikely! (n/m) (Other Football) - DUFFYIN, Dec 3, 17:13:08

        And wages to match (n/m) (Other Football) - Old Git, Dec 3, 17:23:26
        
        That's true.. (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 17:25:46
        
        Surely that £12M will have to cover current running losses (Other Football) - CB41, Dec 3, 17:16:03
        
        Hopefully we're not going for that sort of player.. (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 17:21:39
        
        £12m is stated as to be spent on playing staff AND (Other Football) - Jim, Dec 3, 17:14:48
        
        i can't think of a club that couldn't do with £12m.. (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 17:24:00
        
        It's good to get £12m (Other Football) - Old Git, Dec 3, 17:26:28
        
        I agree completely.... (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 17:32:06
        
        You could have 4 Carl Robinsons for 200k (n/m) (Other Football) - Brom, Dec 3, 17:34:03
        
        Now THAT would be a good midfield! (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 17:36:34
        
        You'd need 8 Carl Robinsons to have any sort of midfield at all (n/m) (Other Football) - Old Git, Dec 3, 17:38:42
        
        I'm no ITFC expert, but doesn't "exactly the same situation" = "shit creek, no paddle" ? (n/m) (Other Football) - Arizona Bay, Dec 3, 17:14:41
        
        Not if we've proved we can attact investment! (n/m) (Other Football) - BlueFury, Dec 3, 17:22:13
