neo hippy

See this is the problem for me. As much as I appreciate DCs money and that he is trying his best. He's been badly advised and taken for a bit of a ride. His pride means he can't admit a lot of this and has to deflect. you can't believe a single word he says.

Wasn't this why a few seasons ago we had a 2 minutes either at a Christmas fixture or the last home game of the season to remember or honour everyone swfc related that had passed away that year? Having an individual one for every Tom, wee pipe and Harry just isn't sustainable. We'd be having one every few minutes. Also one day it's going to be a minute where the opposition score a goal. Wouldn't like to be the immediate family with that memory to treasure...

Fair enough statement which I fully believe. Problems are that he says he still uses the same recruitment team who must have something like a 10% hit record.

He's scoring a goal every 8 games in the Belgian second tier....

I'd love a team full of Westwood's, Di canio's and cantona's. If they played every game each season apart from 1 or 2 seasonal games fair enough. It's how you manage them.

96 points is the most we can get We are currently on 30 and so can probably expect somewhere around 60 to 70 by May.

The blame is everywhere The players with that attitude Whoever bought them And Jos for not getting them onside

He came with a rep as a disciplinarian and a bit no nonsense. Which over in Germany maybe worked for him. But over here, with our "been there, done that" squad and the language barrier it just hasn't worked. We've senior players being left out and I don't see any of our players really warming to him or his methods. Apart from maybe Joey

True But even taking100k in the summer would have been better then benching him as we have done

I don't understand why they haven't been sold or loaned out to get at least something back financially

You'll beat us by 1 or 2 And still be talking about it in 10 years time

Listen to the bret omerod under the cosh podcast. He talks a lot about Holloway. Basically says he can manage a team of under dogs and tryers. But can't manage the big personalities. I'm not sure he'd be a good fit with our squad currently. It's interesting that CC has mentioned handling player personalities a lot in interviews lately. And Jos seems to have his own way of handling them too actually...

We need a whole squad rebuild and to sell a player or 2 to make a profit and cancel out the spending of the previous 2 years. We have to make sure we're within limits of P&S this year. If we miss the P&S target and have another embargo how can we do any rebuilding? But we need to make sure we don't go down also. Selling reach, Bannon, FF etc will make that difficult. If we make a profit AND stay up then 1 or 2 years down the line we can spend that profit again hopefully wiser and have another run at promotion. If we stay up this year, I wouldn't care if we sold anyone in our squad currently.

With ffp though we'd need to wait another year before we can splash the cash again
