    he had a better points per game average than andy ritchie (not hard of late was it)

    he compiled fancy little reports on each player detailing their strangths and weaknesses (did these reports say that robbie williams' strong points were asa midfielder?)

    he had got the players on side (could have fooled me, they havent even tried for him)

    his approach to training is excellent (at what point in training did we start working on nardiello taking corners? oh aye, fecking marvellous that is)


    Do they expect us to swallow anything that comes out of their mouths anymore? Because I for one am absolutly fed up of being used this way.

    Does he state that Davey was the cheapest option?</p>

    I am sick to **** of the crap that comes out of BFC. They constantly attempt to treat us like fools.</p>

    We don't have any money, fair enough, but why ******** on about shortlists, interviews etc when from day 1, it was always going to be Davey.</p>

    Good luck Simon!</p>

    the one thing that annoys me the most

    the decision was made on FRIDAY, so why, on saturday did I hear a radio interview saying that an announcement would be made during the week?

    sounds to me like somebody hoping for a win against wednesday so that we'd all be in a good mood when the hero announcement was made.

    His appointment was more predictable than TFP's gags. PC said he wanted a coach rather than an experienced manager. It's clear he and GS are being more hands on with signings and that Davey wouldn't stand up to that. You can't blame Davey, you don't trun down oppportunities to manage as they may never come up again. I feel sorry for him.

    I feel sorry for him as well, he appears out of his depth.

    Andy Ritchie goes up in my estimation more and more everyday for taking a stand

    Andy Ritchies Ambitions did not match those of the board

    I seem to remember us being told something along those lines

    I think I might have misunderstood what that meant, its becoming clearer now

    Has this amount been confirmed?

    If its true why are we pissing around bidding 200K for a player from Rotherham?

    You only need 2 or 3 players of genuine quality to raise a team.

    500K each on a defender , Midfielder and a striker and the difference would be amazing.</p>

    He wanted to sign better players than we already had.

    He also maybe wanted to sign the players he wanted.

    My guess.

    £2 million available, sell Hassel and Howard for £1.5 million net cost £500,000. Its all smoke and mirrors.
