Re: [LU] Livermore SOLD

>>Not really, I think we've treated Livermore like shit.<< So letting him rot in the stiffs would have been better?   >>If he wasn't good enough, we shouldn't have gone for him.<<   At the time he was the best we could find. There  was no guarantee we'd find better in the transfer window. You'd be the first to complain if we were short of midfielders in October.   >>And there's no chance we've made money on the deal, maybe we didn't lose too much, but that's not the point.<< We've recouped the initial £250k. And saved a relatively large wage bill of a reserve team player. Aliou Cisse, or whoever comes in in place of Livermore, could be on lower wages - in which case we're up on the deal. >>I think it's just a sign of bad skills in the transfer market, and yet another example of the reasons I don't like Blackwell.<<     You just don't get it, do you. Finally we have a management team taking a managed risk approach to the club - like proper professional businesses do in the real world - and that's "bad skills".   It's decisive management, transparent and focused on quality improvement, and performed against a difficult and false market (thanks to transfer windows, agents, etc - things you DON'T get in the real world of business). You can't ask for much more.   Mark
