It'd be an absolute no brainer to bring the other George Williams back

    it is up to the players to have the right attitude and not get the monk on all season because they couldn't go to Huddersfield

    Think you should lose the chip on your shoulder and move on with an open mind, you are obviously passionate about the club

    Why? Just because you don't like them?

    I wouldn't mind seeing Williams back at Oakwell - solid full back and has experience of getting promoted from this league.

    well these buggers don't want to spend a dime of their enormous wealth do they so we'll have to think of other ways

    I've no idea what their plans are. Their "nothing crazy " and mine are probably different, and they've only just taken over.

    had the chance to keep us in the Championship and they gave us Matt Mills on a free transfer. Shown nothing but indifference since they arrived and now they're playing silly beggars with getting a new manager.

    Pretty sure the manager wanted Matt Mills. They also spent money on other players the manager requested. Then the manager buggered off.

    Clearly they gave us nothing to spend so we had to look at the scrap heap

    People are guessing that they're playing "silly buggers", because they don't give daily updates - whatever silly buggers is, I doubt they know.

    They were quick to appoint Morais when Hecky fecked off, and look how that ended up.

    Matt Mills cost nothing, Pinillos cost nothing, Mahoney & McBurnie cost nothing and Knasmullner + Moore were nominal fees.

    Doesn't take einstein to realise they had given us a very very tight budget to work with.

    Appointing quick doesn't mean they will be bad if you appoint the right man. Like when Grayson sent in his application 3 weeks ago and they decided not to interview him.

    Hecky wanted Mcburnie and Mahoney for a while - nothing to do with budget. The owners got who he wanted. And what a signing mcburnie was. Also, we weren't going to attract million pound plus players considering our league position.
