  • It’s made worse because Eisa would’ve been genuinely excellent at this level.
  • Rudders22 said:

    Eisa was 1st choice but Bristol City didn't bring a player in so that they could let us have him on loan. It is what it is and shit happens. I don't blame Bow or Gallen. Should still make play offs but seriously worry about our future. All our better players contracts are up and loanees go back to their clubs. We will need 7/8 players next season and that Owner will not spend a penny on transfers. Unless we are sold we are well and truly fucked.

    A lot of this rings true of 98, we knew then we had to win at Wembley otherwise that squad would have been pulled apart.
  • Frustrating that we were one player short in the 1st half of the season (a LB) and one player short in the 2nd half of the season (a striker)

    Not bothered by Clarke leaving as we are well covered there, but have always been less anti Ajose than others here
  • Shit show, there goes the autos, play offs at best and it will be 5th or 6th realistically.

    Even the play offs aren't guaranteed, one decent side is gonna miss out, it's us Peterborough or Doncaster. Anything can happen.

    What should have been our biggest month to contest autos could now be a complete struggle and see a rubbish points return.

  • Can we still sign free agents if they were a free agent during the window?

  • So 24 players and we can name what 16 is it per match

    So 8 players on between 1k and 4K per week that can’t be picked so at best 32k a month or worst 120k a month of players who are not playing but we have to keep paying

    We are a third division club losing money like mad with a shit cunt owner

    However as a business you can’t win so you have to balance the books some how

    We’ve lost Grant and no one should blame Grant for going

    And if him going pays towards the wage bill then we have to suck it up and accept it

    Agreed, and I also agree with your earlier post about wanting him out and then complaining that he doesn't splash the cash. I have said this myself recently.

    But he owns a club he wants to sell and we are in the promotion hunt. He just pocketed 1.5 mil for Grant, he could show a tiny bit of ambition.

    The crazy thing is although we are suffering as a fanbase, it would surely help him sell the club! Spend another 500k including wages until the summer, get promoted and it will add 5mil on to whatever someone wants to pay for the club!
    We don’t know he pocketed it

    For all we know Bowyer could’ve been told shift of some of the sick note baggage and one of the strikers both who can command a wage

    And it wi release enough to get the cover at full back , Johnny Williams , keep cullens wage and I will let you get a second striker but you must use Recco

    Now as fans that’s not good enough we want bigger better signings than we let go

    However it ain’t realistic and we want RD out and he has us for sale

    So that’s our lot and we have to put up with it and so does bow
    Let’s be realistic. He always wanted the Grant money and will take any other money that comes in to offset the operating loss he has himself inflated through mismanagement. Unless he is willing to sell the club for a realistic price he is responsible for the fact that he has to bear the continuing loss.

    Bowyer, Jackson, Gallen and others are doing their best to keep the situaton afloat but that old bastard, his stooge Murray and anyone else who defends him are destroying the club. He doesn’t get an ounce of sympathy from me.
    There’s no sympathy from me but as a club we have an owner who won’t put money in and we are hemorrhaging money

    So what is the solution

    Have more than a squad of 24 that are all on less money than our highest earners and therefor not of any real quality or manage a team sheet and wage bill

    Like it or not football clubs are businesses and they have to be run like one in virtually all ways

    Losing Grant is shit

    Losing Taylor or Pearce I don’t rate Bauer personally but loads do and losing one of them would’ve been catastrophic

    So if we lost grant and got Williams a full back a keeper and kept taylor Pearce Bauer Cullen

    Then the book balance is understandable

    Recco gets a chance now and maybe just maybe he will take it we are third division not premier and we give our kids a chance in this league (so the cunt can sell them so he doesn’t have to fund as much of the wages ) who knows what may happen


    Realistically what else can happen


    He could sell the club.
    It’s for sale you know that I know that we both know that the asking price ain’t the issue

    But your answer doesn’t solve the problem whilst it’s not sold so what do we do ?

    The clubs a business and the business had to fund its self to a degree because the owner had stopped funding it

    So what should have happened

    Just so frustrating. If that old scroat had given Bow just a bit of the Grant money to spend.....if only. Instead,we replace our 21 year old top scorer with a journeyman winger\striker with a grand total of what, 32 goals in 10 years? I'm sorry but I don't believe that any of our out of contract in the summer players will sign new deals atm either,despite what's coming out of the club. Bow is out of contract at the same time too,do any of us actually think he'll sign up again with that rancid old toad still owning us? Pray we somehow either get promoted or by some miracle someone actually buys the club before the season ends otherwise we are in a right mess. Rant over. Teddy tired eyes.
  • Don't know why I'm still refreshing this thread expecting a signing to pop up..

    What is the issue if not the asking price?

    So many interested parties come and gone just because the Belgian turd wants too much money.
    The fee was agreed that’s why the EFL had the docs

    All the time people show him in this way that the price is acceptable he won’t reduce it


    Saying sell the club when we can all see it’s not happening doesn’t solve the real problem of balancing the sheets

    We lost Grant it’s shit but I’d have lost him over any of the others first
  • For me LB has been slightly naive today putting all his eggs in one basket. It sounds like from his interview loan was sanctioned by club but then parent club held off and held off as they looked to add to their squad. By playing that waiting game we have missed out. I get all the RD stuff and agree but feel we have also messed up by not filling that last loan space

    If so...
    Darren Bent, Leon Best, Lloyd Sam, Nile Ranger, Mehmeti? Osei? and Agbonlahor available in Champ and L1.

  • He could sell the club. He could have sold it in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. He chooses not to do so because he wants too much money.

    The big question then is he going to sell? I can see this going into next season. The number of players out of contract is scary. Seems that RD just wants us to keep treading water as long as possible.
  • I don't personally feel let down by this situation because i was one of the ones that very much saw this coming as soon as Palace lou announced the Grant deal was done.

    In fact i'm pleasantly surprised we signed anyone.

    I hadn't previously heard of 90% of the players we signed in the last 3 seasons so the fact this Josh Parker guy is a low key addition doesn't really bother me - like all new signings we'll only know if he's any good once he starts some games for us, his form anywhere else is, to a certain extent, irrelevant.

    Grant leaving was always more than likely going to weaken us. The good thing is, we had the best front line in the division so putting a positive spin on it you could say even if it's weakened it still going to be good enough to complete. Reeco had a nice cameo on Saturday, Parker is proven to be at least an average to decent player at this level, and Igor is getting back to fitness. All hope is not lost, even if the better outcome would've been another signing or even better not selling Grant.

    Don't let the feel good feeling go just yet - we've been building something this season, need to keep that positive vibe going. I for one am not going to let that fucker in Belgium ruin my whole season again.
  • Palace get extension to get Batshuayi...
  • It's genuinely comical that we are going to struggle to get out of this tin pot league and meanwhile the league 2 runner ups are romping it. All that stingey tosser had to do was spend a third of that money and he could have secured us play offs and really put us in contention for autos, now we will probably slip up.

    He could sell the club. He could have sold it in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. He chooses not to do so because he wants too much money.
    He could have also appointed a yes man manager in the summer, sold BFG, not signed Taylor, disband the u23s etc etc he didn't.

    Because Roland is an arse doesn't make everything he does bad. This isn't aimed at you @Airman Brown it just happens to be your tweet I am quoting. The RD situation is similar to a reverse of the Corbyn attack dogs on twitter, no one can give him any credit for anything with out being attacked on here. Everything that goes wrong is his fault. I am waiting for someone to suggest he stopped Bristol City signing another striker tbh.
  • Frustrating when Mo Eisa will probably hardly play in the next few months
  • edited February 2019
    Anyone know if any fit out of contract 10 goals a half season in League One strikers who will work well with Taylor?

    Oh.

    Well we will finish lower in the league and have less people turning up than last few games then.

    LB ‘so boss I get that selling karlan for a decent amount is good but I need to be able to have options and can I go for a decent perm to replace him? Cost is around 0.5m around a third of what we just flicked through boring him through, the gates are up and have possible chance of auto promotion’

    ‘Make it a loan and free, I know you have a target, make sure you get him’

    ‘Ok but I need options because what happens if that falls through’

    ‘Are you telling me you have not planned for the deal falling through?’

    ‘I have but honestly it’s going to make it really difficult to get into the championship where you can get closer to the money for the club I understand you want. Would be better boss to have some options’

    ‘I am not prepared to invest without the twelfth man’

    ‘Yeah but you have that now, give £0.5m to spend and we can ace this’

    ‘I am not prepared to be blackmailed, land your loan target or play Naby Sarr up front, I do not care any more’

    ‘But boss, don’t you want more money back than you spend?’

    ‘Did you not listen to me? Reduce costs, get promotion and then I can sell.’

    ‘You’re a fucking deluded mate, always have been always will be. I’m sending the boys round tomorrow to give you a reckoner and we will talk after. You call me if you can still talk eh?’
  • As the person who have been calling 31st January, Parker day all week where do I claim my prize.

    February 1st was always the day we would know if we were going to have a go for the auto's or the play offs. Play offs is the answer unless we become totally demotivated.

    Fosu and Aribo must step up to the plate and score goals if we are to keep our form till the end of season.
  • This is worse than 1998 & probably mirrors 1985 for needing to get promoted. Does that stupid Belgian twunk not realise that he will get closer to the price he wants if we are in the Championship & not in League 1. Added to the fact most of the players are out of contract in the summer so now is the time to push on & cement a play off place (I feel autos have gone already). If you think this transfer window was bad, you wait until the summer....
