A very good L1 forward that you would ( if you wanted absolutely guaranteed results) have to spend an equivalent amount to replace.
Don’t think that’s right. By keeping the players they have they have indirectly ‘splurged’ a lot of cash.
What more could they of done besides keep our squad together, sign courtois to replace Davies? We had offers for Bradshaw Potts and moore and they are all still here. They attend games talk to fans ect not getting giddy but so far so good from me not sure of what people actually expect from them.
No, they have hung on to assets. A few quid, but we have that in the bank. Assets make you money in the long run & they understand that. We've let players go for f-all in the past.
Your argument doesn't hold water. 11k at first home match. High expectation & a 4-0 home win. Now sold out next 2 aways. Results are vital to both turning a profit on players, but also making gate receipts. Truth is we were up **** creek & made a forced bad decision over Heckingarse. Have more faith in new management team, agree Morais was clueless.
Add to that Tom fits very well into our style as he is very hard working works very well with a high press He is reliable and I think will get 20ish this year - happy we have rejected the bids
In conclusion, we've got a **** board, who deliberately oversaw relegation, who (after appointing a **** Portugese coach) have appointed a German Head Coach who 'definitely' can't speak a word of English, appointed two talentless German coaches to assist him, kept all our main **** players at the club who were under contract, sold squad players at a profit on transfer fees (which, because the board is ****, can't be allowed to be called a profit), turned down offers for said main **** players (which, because the board is ****, can't be allowed to be called a positive thing), any new players we've signed are automatically **** even if we've never seen them play, we're going to struggle all season because we've only got **** players (no one is allowed to praise any of them, either individually or as a group), no improvements have been made anywhere in the ground and even though we won our opening game 4-0, that was down to our opponents being poor and absolutely nothing to do with us.
I'm going to crawl, wimpering, into a darkened room, refusing to emerge until all that is wrong has been put right, meaning I'm allowed to smile and be happy.
You missed the part where anybody who thinks different is a Happy Clapper, but yeah that just about sums it up.
If all players had reductions in contracts then the Management deserve a lot of credit managing to keep them all
This board was to blame for January 17 when we didn’t kidnap the players that wanted away. A better plan for kidnapping would have been similar to a documentary I watched with the kids. I think it was called aristocats. The little furry ******** still escaped though just like Connor.
