You probably can't see there are not enough goals in the team. Don't take it out on me that I can. or the others that can also. My solution would be Stockton but every solution carries a risk. I would be happy with any solution and you suggested I wouldn't.
You would probably say the same but I don't rate your football knowledge. A bit like I don't rate Sandgaards. Your post focussing on my view on Stockton sums it up when it is entirely incorrect. What we are short of should be obvious to a village idiot. The solutions we can have views and disagree on.

You are the one who makes stuff up You have this view Stockton isn't the answer, I have a view that he could be. Nothing wrong with that and either of us could be right or wrong but what you posted as my motivation was childish and wrong.

Mate you are getting all worked up over a point that 100% of people agree on. YES WE NEED A STRIKER ! 🙄 we all know that ! The manager knows that ! The tea lady knows that, I'm sure TS knows that. Whether Stockton is the answer nobody knows but all welcome to their opinion.
Can we leave it at that rather than keep saying we need a striker ? You will start Golfie off in a bit 😫
I am arguing over the way a poster, not you, suggested it was about Stockton for me. When if he read my posts it is clearly about the issue we do agree on as you say.
We also agree we need a striker but I suspect our owner may not which is worthy of discussion surely. I do hope I am wrong on that btw.
If JFC goes to Wimbledon it will make resigning Chuks look logical and uncontroversial.
Why renew someone's contract and the effectively pay them to play for someone else?
It was odd to me to renew his contract, a decision made before Garner was appointed of course. I assume that, like Davison, they thought they could always move him on for a fee but if the only clubs interested are the likes of AFCW and Orient then that won’t happen. The fact we might have to chip in for his wages to be able to move him on makes the decision to retain him ridiculous.
So JFC may be joining JJ at AFCW, but only if we "help JJ out", whatever that means, looks like the old CAFC charity is again being asked, so we are not so much possibly selling him on, more a case of paying someone to take him off our hands, but that is increasingly looking like the only way this is going to be resolved, what a way to run a ship...🙄🤷♂️
As I thought yesterday - us not buying a forward to replace Washington cost us a victory. That is on TS.
In which case I assume it's also on him that he appointed Garner who seems to be implementing a more entertaining style of play that has yielded a couple of early wins. Hopefully the striking options will soon be added to.
I presume we took up the contract extension because we thought we would get a few quid for him. It was reported JFC was not over the moon about it. Not sure how that squares with paying somebody to take him off our hands. More likely we would cancel the contract by mutual consent surely.
Anyway rumours.............The other forum have resurrected a long running rumour, Ryan Edwards 6' 5" centre half at Dundee United. I don't know if he is left footed, but if so this might have legs, albeit the rumoured £350k fee seems a bit of a stretch.
Looks like he is a centre half who scores goals, something we should always take into consideration when signing players. Sorry to sound like Mutley, but being an old sage like myself he is 100% right in this respect.

Would you let your contract be torn up so you could take a pay cut? I wouldn’t.

And 'whatever that means' is all important here. What we know is that Thomas is tightening his belt, so what you suggest flies in the face of that, so until we are told more, I won't be jumping to conclusions. I admit that was an odd comment though and I don't know what he meant by it
But surely with JFC being such a great player clubs will be falling over themselves to buy him ? Oh wait ! 🙄
No one that can afford will want him until he proves he is fully recovered from his injury. Quite rightly, can you imagine if we signed a player that had started 1 league game in 14 months?
How we thought we could sell him under those conditions is beyond me.
JFC and Gilbey both off the books would help a lot in being able to bring in a striker IMO
Or reduce the £8m losses down to £4m as TS has stated,
Cutting the football budget is unlikely to increase the team's chance of success, which in turn means more years of losses. And JFC and Gilbey wouldn't cost anything approaching a seven-figure sum between them in wages.

Why are people so wanting to hate this man, who as I can see it, is trying to run this club so that we never have to go through what we went through just before he arrived again.
He isn’t perfect but continuous blaming and hating on him must get so depressing for people.
They’ve said they have to balance the books. We’re looking so much better already than last year.

Although I agree with you, being better than last season is a pretty low bar to compare against.
I'm fearing that for want of a decent striker a top 6 spot could be lost. Oh well.....

I would call TS my straw. I don't hate him and I think a case could be made that he is the best owner we have had in years, but look at what we have had. I am a camel and he is the straw that has broken my back. Others may have been haystacks, but I have been watching us in this shit league too long and that isn't Sandgaards fault although it is on him to get us out of it and I don't think he will. I want him to but I can't lie or convince myself otherwise.
I won't protest and I will hope something changes but I am a bit depressed about it to be honest and because he is the straw, my patience levels are close to zero.

McCormick & Gilbey being linked with Pompey. I’d love to see us try for McCormick and offload Gilbey to the south coast.

I contest that if Aneke, Stockton, Bishop or Alfie May had come on instead of Leaburn we would have had a greater chance of grabbing a goal.

Will AFC fans overlook this?
