Glad to hear Beckford's done though.

The beckford Saga dragged on forever because the tight twat realized he could save a few bob, took a huge risk on this not backfiring on us and now saying that's our lot...
Start of the window - he says money is available...
Towards end of window... we spend fuck all. Thats the Gartside Way. I mean, the less money belonging to the club HE spends ... the bigger his EOY dividend/Bonus will be.
I've always said, this club would do a lot better without that tight-wad in charge.

Lets face it Rebel, you always predict worse case scenario and you're yet to be proved right on anything I can remember, I'd be surprised if the club isn't looking at other targets.
The Beckford transfer was a small risk, and obviously a calculated one which has saved the club a transfer fee. Fair play to Gartside and the board for doing it, the less money we have to spend the better.
You do understand that it isn't Gartside's money the club spends? If the money isn't available he can't give it to Dougie to spend, so whether or not he's a tight wad is irrelevant because it's Eddie who funds us. Hate to put a whole in your Gartside dividend conspiracy theory though (Utter drivel).
Anyway that 'tight-wad' has got us £130 million in debt, so I'd hate to see what would happen if he was a free spender

I have a horrible feeling he'll fall out with gartside and resign

I didn't say it was gartsides money did I? Its obvious the money was available to spend, otherwise the bid wouldn't have been made in the first place.
Would you have been saying the same about this 'small risk' HAD it backfired on us?
Yes - Tight wad has caused £130M of debt... I cant help but feel if he hadn't been such a tight wad by trying to keep hold of the cash in the first place we may not be... think about it. For example - Gary Cahill, valued at £20M - we let his contract run down and we got peanuts for him, If we had signed him to a new deal, we would have got a lot more.
Elmander - we could have recouped some, if not all of his wages had we stuck a years extension on his contract earlier - instead we waited till he had about 8 mins on it before offering him a deal - he walked on a free.
Same will happen to Stuart Holden and Lee as well, they will bugger off on free's meaning we recouped nothing.
I know im going back a while here, but if Big Sam would have got the money he asked for the season he left, the club may have been in a much better position financially due to (possibly) playing regularly in Europe and even having a champions league run - Even Big Sam himself stated that Gartside told him he cant have the money as "we don't want to qualify for the champions league"
Part of the reason we are in so much shit financially now, is due to the fact gartside refuses to allow the club to spend any money whatsoever - its pretty common Knowledge that gartside did not want to sign Anelka - Big Sam went to Uncle Eddie and got the money himself to finance that, the only other 'big spending' we have done was for Elmander - im pretty sure Gartside wouldn't have sanctioned that amount of money being spent either.
We are in this shit now due to the short-shortsightedness of Gartside and his refusal to invest money in playing staff that would actually take us places, have some sell on value or caused us to finish higher in the league.
Scraping the bottom of the barrel is not always the way forward im afraid.
