Most businesses exist to make a profit. Football doesn't work like that. Understand that and you might understand what I'm saying.

My point was that if she has business sense she will be aware that replacing good employees with poor ones doesnt work. So in that respect, football is like any other business
 
The suggestion in the media today was that the selling of Sess was down to his arrest for drink driving while we played MKD. If so, then it was PDC's decision on the back of his strict disciplinary stance.

We were trying to flog him to Gyan's lot long before the drink drive incident.
 
Type of soundbite that's very well intended at the time but comes back to bite you squarely on the arse a few months later. Don't think selling Mignolet and Sessegnon were in the plan at the time.

Never mind - burn the witch!!!
 
Mig wanted to go and you cannot blame him in order to progress his career. It looks like Sess was pushed to me, was moving to WBA a real ambition for him?

I can't believe for one minute the plan all summer was to sell him last minute, and replace him with some plum on loan from Liverpool reserves.
Mate the club have been dieing to get him out for ages, north east press on twitter were saying hed been offerend around for months and even to newcastle. Fact is the club wanted rid, why do you think he came out with im happy at sunderland. He fucked up with the drink driving but it hides the fact hes been one weve been wanting shot of for a while now. As for mig, we shouldve sold on our terms, westwood isnt a replacement, neither is mannone so we sold without having a replacement of decent level so neither of those situations can hide the fact since that statement we have sold two of our best players.
 
Seems more to me like he was offloaded at the last minute for non footballing reasons.
Before we actually sold sess this board was full of people wanting us to get rid after his performances this season, now hes gone people are complaining saying we shudnt have sold him

Don't think that takes good business sense, just common sense. But please stop calling players employees.

Course they werent. These quotes went out in the Legion of Light edition which funny enough was advertising season tickets and a new pricing scheme. Who'd have thought it?[DOUBLEPOST=1379874053][/DOUBLEPOST]

Again. You are totally missing the point. It is an analogy. And whether you like it or not, as paid servants of the football club, the players are employees

What point am I missing exactly

I said this Byrne is clueless and knows fuck all about football.

Your point is some crap analogy about keeping your best players.

What have I missed.

You said dont treat football as a business. I made a point that you can and should treat football like a business. Keep your best employees to achieve good results and if you cant, replace them with other good ones. It is really simple.
 
Margaret Byrne - March 2013. “Of course you could be a profitable club and sell your best players, but it’s a relegation model. “We want to keep our assets and not sell them"

look what we did sold our two best players mignolet & sessegnon now we in 20th with 1pt. Relegation written all over

I wish she would go and do some ironing or something....really dont like her at all, I cringe just about every time she makes another drivel ridden speech...she has to go

No businesses sole purpose is too make money. Football is not about making money. Treat is like a business and you're going nowhere.

You come along with some half arsed analogy saying keeping your best players is like running a business, as you want to keep your best employees.

In the real world you don't buy and sell employees.[DOUBLEPOST=1379875263][/DOUBLEPOST]
The story about when you met Mags Bryne and had a conversation about football with her.

She struggled with offside didn't she?
Lol aye mate she didn't even kna the keeper normally counts as one of the two players needed to play u onside. Clueless.

In the real world employees come and go. If you replace good staff with shite staff your results suffer. Of course, different businesses run in differing fashions. But that premise remains the same.

And whether you like it or not, football certainly is a business. Some of the most successful businesses are football clubs. And guess what, they also turn profits. And guess what, they have good players.
