    Relying on loans is short termist thinking, and a lottery. They might be good, might be bad, but either way they leave and you're back to gambling on a new set. Plus you get no equity from a loan whereas players you buy have sell on value.

    It's like closing your eyes and picking a random rental property off rightmove each year until you're 60 rather than actually investing in buying a house.

    Maybe Hecky should be looking at players like Armstrong from Newcastle. He is a player who has everything.

    Oh, hang on.

    do you think the club can subsidise 20k a week wages.

    Do you think the club can afford to spend 6m on a player

    Which is more important. Short term panic buying and risking the clubs future or a long term stratergy that will ensure the club remains self sufficent through the development of rough diamonds?

    Do you think that the stock piling of talent and minimising game time hinders or assists development?

    Whos kids are better? Lutons who are all in and around the first team or west broms who are no where near playing with the misters and still developing during 'under 23' games.

    Stick to Football Manager with your £500m budget and where Bree is the world's greatest player, shame we can't edit the clubs balance and players in real life.

    On that note

    I'm going to shout at my 6 yr old because she can't do quadratic equations. Yet.

    We're 4 points of the play offs. Teams with huge cash stashes are below us. We've got some top players, the best we've seen for years, who never stop battling for the team, for the club, and for the fans. Our players make mistakes and get punished by the opposition. Then they get punished again by people like you. Your incessant criticism makes me seethe and boil with anger. Please stop doing it.

    You want us to be more like Rotherham? The team at the foot of the table who we're 10 points and 10 league positions above? That's your model?

    Somehow I'm going to get through this without calling you names, but the temptation is ****ing killing me.

    Comparing us to Rotherham really made me chuckle.

    No. What I did was say they could get a loan player in from one of te bigger clubs.

    Talking to a Rotherham fan, They like him.

    He was saying he doesn't think he'll want to be at Rotherham past January because he's too good for them. I'm not taking Rotherham performance because of him.

    We've had some really good performances but the teams not been good.

    Butland, played really well for us but couldn't stop us losing.
    John Stones. Struggle for us when he was here. Still a mighty good player for Barnsley.

    I disagree. We have had some brilliant team performances. I think you need to review your expectations. They don't feel very realistic
