Can only hope someone will take fletcher and we invest in a top quality center back to go with the 5 average ones weve got
and midfielder that can move the ball forward shoot at the goal and not break in half after 3 games or is this clare
why have we still not sorted this out ? also the flanks yet again are piss poor we seem to be shuving Reach in that impossible position of do everything on your side of the pitch as the otherside of the pitch isnt worth going down when we are talking about Palmer & Boyd
we are still these 3 players short of a play off place forget the top 2 thats not happening untill we get rid of all the shite that will blead out this seasons contracts
i dont think we are relegation fodder though as joss is more than capable with this average lot of getting us in a nice middle of the league position which lets face it isnt hard anymore
but i do fear Derby days and i dont see much cheer in being in a mid table position niether will the fans come xmas and we will see the attendance drop off followed by everything else after and then we will be ready to go down the season after if DC keeps on taking his money back
because thats what he got the thunder xxxx in for and shes been doing her job brilliantly since
I’m not sure what some of you expect us to do this season with regards to the squad??? We are right up against FFP limits, as a club we either press the reset button or we press the shit or bust button, Chansiri has said he won’t exceed FFP so the reset button has been pressed. We have seen Brighton, Derby, Forest, Wolves, all reach this point, two pressed reset, two pressed shit or bust, one got promoted and the other was on a transfer embargo for 18 months.
It is going to take at least 3 transfer windows to change the make up of the squad and start to build a team again, in the meantime we might squeak into the play offs. Getting rid of those out of contract is a start, moving Rhodes off the wage bill helps, sending Fletcher to Greece would be a real bonus and if we can promote 2-3 youngsters then we will benefit financially from that, but we won’t be splashing any cash this window.
I expect thunder xxxx to cut all wage bills and have us relegated in 2 seasons time
then all this fiffa shit will hit the fan even more and we will find ourselfs in the pub league having found our level yet again
we are a pub league team we may aswell accept it
I expect her to cut the wage bill as well, thats one of the things she was brought in to do. But its bullshit to suggest that will see us relegated as a consequence. Chansiri has put a ton of money into the club over the 3 years or so he has been here, there is no evidence he wants his money back nor that he wants out of the club, he wants to stick within FFP and the mistake he made was letting CC blow the budget on players who we shouldn’t have been buying and not giving our youth players a chance. DC has brought in Jos to rebuild us using a combination of transfers in and youth players through the academy, to build the club year on year, but we have to offload prior to being able to do that and that is what thins window and probably January is about.
I think what most people (well me anyway) are pissed off about is the fact that we got to the PO final on a shoestring and this fooled the management into letting Coco have his own way with some money. Player recruitment has been utter shite since, both in quality and financially. That's why we are at FFP limits and still crap. The medics are a joke too.
Play offs ? my arse
we'll be lucky to finish 23rd
why are we not tranfer listing the dogshit! we have enough players to get the likes of Jones Fletcher Hutchinson Boyd Abdi Fox Palmer matiass van acken even wildsmith and Hooper the fat c....unt ! why dont we just put the lot on the transfer list bring in players from the under 18s or whatever the under 6s ? and play to our strengths id take that yep weve no money untill we get rid one in one out ! id take that but relying on this dogshit just makes me want to walk away which i mostly have as i wont be buying a shirt subcribing to ifuckyou or anything as stupid as that untill chansiri has left the club !
why rely on dogshite ? why dont we rely on the youngsters and ask for less maybe staying in the league and beating the pigs ? the way this season is panning out we are on false hopes once again .. well at least the happy clapping wankers that keep this dogshit in wages !
Problem is who is going to buy them? We can't afford to pay out their contracts so we are stuck with CCs signings until either we get an offer to sell or loan them or until their contract runs out. Jos will have seen enough of them to know what he has, problem is he probably hasn't seen enough of our main players yet to know what he has but he has a history of creating teams that get promoted while working on a budget, that is what he will need to do with us.
Did anyone else listen to the Wednesday Week FFP podcast out this week. That gave a good insight into what situation we are in and what we likely need to do to comply with FFP, not just for this season but for next as well. We might flirt with the playoffs if we keep our best 11 fit but its far more likely we will finish in mid-table.
like i mentioned on the lunatic thread if there not in the shop window WHO is going to even ask ? youre not allowed to cough in the same direction as a player now without permission from the club or you get sued .. unless youre wolves mancity Qpr manutd etc etc
But surely when you want to get rid of something thats no good too you then you need to advertise the fact ? Hooper might even fetch a few million The rest would just be better of the wage bill and for some young lads to get game time
Then theres Joao who we should be selling now before he leaves for nowt westwood bannan etc ! clare whats happening with him ? not in the squad not signed for anyone ? is he getting the Hirst treatment which we know works fantastically in our favour
I dont blame jos for any of this buy the way infact i think hes biting his tounge brillianty and actually doing a good job with this dogshite club
but chansiri is a clown and i stick by it as soon as he sells up the better
It's mental how we don't seem to prepare or give a shit about upcoming events.
There's definitely something wrong at the Club. Whether it's a breakdown of communication, or apathetic hangers on. It's not about the investment anymore it's about the ineptitude of the staff from top to bottom, it's not working.
We're still not scouting, we're not pushing our deadwood towards others or the door. We can't even get kits out FFS
I don't dislike DC or necessarily have a problem with him, but he's had time now to start learning the ropes and doesn't seem to..
Well I'm going to be controversial as I think we're going up this season. In fact I've had a bet on us to win it. The players weren't fit last year, everyone knows that now but they will be this year. The way we finished last season as well was practically play-off form and that was still with half a dozen or more of our 1st team missing. Reaching for my helmet.....
