    Would @NL_Addick and @RodneyCharltonTrotta like to reply to Our Manager's latest words or is he just a bed wetter !

    Come back @MuttleyCAFC your fears and mine from early this month are coming to fruition.

    That doesn’t sound good at all, baffling in fact as that doesn’t tie in with what Matt Southall and Gallen have said about making bids for players and marquee signings, I hope it’s a bluff but it’s concerning to say the least, relying on loans again. Someone’s telling lies as we’ve clearly made bids for Maddison and Cawley thinks we have for Clarke Harris, Charlton never do things the easy way do we.
    Not just Cawley either, local Bristol journos reported it as well. 
  • Canters has officially gone into meltdown

    Off out to play tennis. Expect to find 200 more comments but no signings on my return. 
  • I can only presume that Bowyer is talking about loan signings.
  • Gonna file this one down as Bowyer bluffing until tomorrow.

    So we haven't bid a million for anyone yet had a bid accepted for Maddison 3 weeks ago? Something (quite literally) doesn't add up right now
    I think the bid for Maddison was around £750k
  • Hm that is concerning when taken at face value but like VG says, it contradicts what we’ve previously been hearing re: bids for Maddison and JCH.

    Hope we can get some clarity on those quotes at the Thursday presser today.

    Smacks of desperation - what on Earth has been going on all month, pathetic. 
    I eluded to this a few weeks ago. When Gallen was spinning plates we got plenty of business done. His promotion to DoF was said to give him more clout when conducting transfers. Then we hear Bowyer and Gallen now hand over of the list of targets to Matt. 

    Still almost two days to go. But that to me is a bit odd.

  • I'm still waiting for the article to load, clicked it 2mins ago.
  • sounds like we are skint.  Never known us to have money. 
  • Yep, Gallen needs to be demoted.

    Hope we can get some clarity on those quotes at the Thursday presser today.
    But our manager has just said the JCH story isn't true.

    We don't know how much the Maddison bid was, but clearly wasn't 1 million.
  • Hmmm. That does not sound encouraging. 
  • Let's hope this is all a coordinated PR stunt in an attempt to sway clubs/agents/players to accept our offer or lower demands...

    Definitely not clutching at straws. I'm not panicking, you're panicking. Not having a meltdown. Promise.

    help

    Does it?  Maddison was rumoured around the 700k mark. I would be supprised if JCH was a million up front.

    It's worrying, obviously, but not sure it contradicts.

    No he didn't. He said we have not bid 1m for anyone.
  • Some of the comments on here, the mind well and truly boggles
    Just people expressing their varying opinions. It was ever thus. It would be both boring and surprising if everyone had the same take on things.
    Totally agree, which was all I was doing 👍

    Oh, you're right. I read that as him saying it wasn't true.

  • Cawleys latest quotes with Bow sounds like he is very frustrated.

    "We are relying on people doing us favours" what the fuck does that mean?
    Means hoping a few Premiership teams will loan us their players & not send them to rivals.
  • edited January 2020
    JCH
    Docherty
    2 loans

    We are not talking alot of money here, it can not be that hard surely.
  • Either Bowyer is making it sound like esi are no good or they genuinely ain’t no good, it’s the hope that kill you.

    but Bowyer is doing Matt Southall no favours with comments like we’re relying on favours etc. As the fans will start to turn because they expected it to be different this time.

    Re shopping in the "bargain basement".

    1) You wouldn't offer 5 million for a player who's club would accept less. Even if you could.

    2) Who that would cost serious money, would sign for us now?

    Our market, for permanent signings, is totally limited to players who can't get a game at "bigger clubs" or the better players at smaller league 1 or lower clubs.  If we had say got Maddison, Cullen, Mowatt and Marriott in early, others might have followed with the confidence we would stay up. But you can have all the money in the world its not always that easy to spend it. 
    If wd had got a few players in earlier we might have turned the Preston & Fulham games into wins, be sitting a bit prettier & a lot more attractive to players. But not now. Only players to join us now will be loans or ones we will overpay for , in high wages & fee. Not going to happen. MS said that prices fall the nearer you get to the deadline .....but not if clubs know you are desperate they dont.


  • Bowyer doesn’t appear to come across very well when he talks to the media.  Or maybe he is just playing mind games. 

    Personally, I’d rather he just didn’t say anything. 
    Lol, imagine the reaction on here if he did that, with all the Miss Marple’s trying to read their own subtext into his silence?
