I'm not saying that Fanni and Tex would have got us to mid table, but it might have got us to safety. There were plenty of close matches where we might have picked up points, but didn't e.g. the 2 narrow defeats against Reading and Brighton where Bauer got sent off, and several other close matches including 1-0 defeats to Bristol City and MKD, the 2-2 against Bolton etcRedChaser said:
Preston only conceded 45 (GD 0) and Forest 47 (GD -4) that's an improvement on us (GD -40) of 35 and 33 respectively! I think we would have needed a damned sight more than just Fanni and Tex all season to have kept those goals down to enable us to gain sufficient points and if you can't see that I can't help you.killerandflash said:
Looking at the table, Preston finished 11th scoring 45 goals, while Forest finished 16th with 43 goals, so our lack of goals didn't guarantee relegation. Having to rely on Sarr and Lennon at CB certainly was a factor though...RedChaser said:
I know Williams played at Huddersfield and Hull because I had the missfortune to see both games. My point was did the same person who identified him as a signing also have Fanni and Sanogo lined up rather than Riga.killerandflash said:
Williams was signed earlier than Fanni, Williams was signed at the start of January, hence was able to play in the 5-0 laundry basket game at Huddersfield and 6-0 at Hull!RedChaser said:
All too little too late with Fanni, you could see he had pedigree not disputing that however he never hit the ground running due to fitness / game time issues. And that is a totally hypothetical IF he had been paired with Tex at the start of the season we would have stayed up (unless you forgot to put a winky smiley), don't forget we still needed to score goals. We averaged less than one goal a game!killerandflash said:
His second spell did suggest he has a good eye for a player, assuming that the signings were his.RedChaser said:
Never met him but came over ok, thought he got lucky first time around with all of CP's back room staff in place. Got found wanting second time round but knew what he was letting himself in for.palarsehater said:
There may be financial consequences, but Texeira and Fanni was a quality CB partnership, if they had been together for the whole season we would have stayed up easily
I reckon Diarra had a lot to do with his mate Fanni being signed, also don't forget the wonderful Williams was signed from Boro around the same time who was that down to I wonder.
Fanni was only signed at the end of the window, I imagine Diarra and Riga's French connections were used
With Tex and Fanni together for a season, we would have been solid enough to grind out results. Uninspiring yes, but possibly enough to be out of danger.
IF we'd had Messi and Romaldo up front we'd have walked the league or IF Fraye hadn't be allowed anywhere near team selection we may have stood a chance of survival but they are all IFs.
We scored 40 goals last season and conceded 80 so what you are saying is we could have won enough games at say 1-0 to have survived with Tex and Fanni at CB from the first game, righto that's your opinion, not mine.
My guess is that Williams was a Euell recommendation, with his connections there. At the time we were desperately short at CB, hence Williams and the re-signing of Roger Johnson...0 -
We had six 0-0 draws last season four of those after Fanni and Tex had signed in the new year, so just one goal was needed in those games to give us 8 extra points. We needed 10 (one extra for shocking GD) for safety, our destiny was in our own hands and history shows we failed to score enough goals (only MK scored less 39) to win games in 'close' matches, them's the facts no ifs, buts or maybes.killerandflash said:

I agree. I wasn't exactly being serious with my comment. I've never even heard of AS VitaScoham said:
From what I can see Riga and Luzon have both been knocked out of the Champions League in the qualifying rounds.Chris_from_Sidcup said:Managed a team to the quarters of the african version of the europa league. That's on another level to anything our other network stooges have managed!!
Either way I'd say Standard Liege are a much bigger club than AS Vita.0 -
I don't know about Williams but Vaz Te was recommended by our ex Wet Spam players.RedChaser said:

In that article it mentions he left AS Vita due to an issue with his visa during an away match, does anyone know what happened?
I did a quick google, and despite the article dropping it in as though everyone knew about it, unsurprisingly there's very little info about it.0 -
He sounds like another rookie chancer. But you just know the idiots running our club are going to appoint him this season.centurion said:Here's another article about him and just as with the previous one from The Irish Sun he does seem to do one thing that has become very common at Charlton - he overestimates the importance of his role as assistant or as trainer, and seems to talk like he was manager of some of these clubs. I'm sure he sees himself as equipped to take over the Charlton job, just as Karel Fraeye did - http://www.benefoot.net/exclusive-interview-with-sint-truidens-chris-oloughlin/
There's a thousand jobbing coaches like CoL....but only one who is PlayStation pals with Thomas Driesen so of course, he's perfect for Charlton!
Please someone buy the club off these tools.

At the end of the day, I'm not sure how much I really care about who's in charge at the moment. For that to really matter we'd need to know that they're:
a. Supported with a proper scouting setup;
b. Given the freedom to make the most of all of the club's resources/players;
c. Financially backed in the transfer market;
d. Not working at a club in turmoil.
Let's be completely fair; (a) and (d) are never going to happen. Whilst it did look like there were promising signs over the summer in the transfer market (c) - Ajose, Novak, Holmes etc - we still have resources (i.e Tex) that are being underutilised due to prior f*ckups.
For a manager succeed there needs to be a fundamental change, and that change revolves around The Regime. At the very least Katrien needs to be given removed from her post.
At the end of the day it's a bit like getting excited over your ex-girlfriends new boyfriend; he may be a nice guy, but he's still going to be screwing something you loved.2 - Sponsored links:
