shandypants Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 20% sell on clause And IF Forest paid the full £1.5m upfront that would leave us with about £400k after the signing of Stevie May for £800k, however, that fee rises to £1m so doesn't that leave us with £200k? Either way, £200k or £400k, which superstar are you expecting to arrive for that amount of money? Survival mode yet again. Milan is lucky that Gray is a capable manager and has got the best out of a set of old timers and "also-rans". Gray is Bob Cratchet to Milan's Ebenezer Scrooge. Sam Hutchinson is Tiny Tim.

Guest wilyfox Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 yeah and now they are all energy saving bulbs, Milan doesnt want to fork out for one as they are much more expensive than the old ones. He's sent Paul Aldridge to Wilkinsons to buy a candle Best make that a multipack of three candles; they need to last the full emergency window. Don't want them burning out too early.

Keeping us in the division is what his aim will always be Don't see why people get so angry with that Everyone knows he wants out so someone else can take us further Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canyoujust Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Like I have said we will creep to Sept and we may get the odd good loan signing but it will be month to month as always.....totally opposite of what Spin Doctor said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He spouts his usual rubbish every year about how he is going to improve the squad, buy this player, buy that player yet nothing ever changes. His lies are wearing a bit thin now.

Has the team not got better each year under Milan? granted this season has been a bit of a farce but there is no denying that on the pitch we have progressed large amounts compared to this time last year.

bigdan2003 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Milan implied that the spending wouldn't stop at just May. Sorry Milan lovers but the lovable old rogue is just full of ****. But he isn't though is he... He's delivered every single time. Last year, we signed quality players on loan / short term contracts He said we were going to sign a striker- we signed May He's said Gray will get further backing, just like he said last season and the previous season...and has delivered on both occasions. We will sign some loans. Might not be this week....because guess what, the parent club and player have to agree it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdan2003 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Utter gonads....you want another biscuit don't you....good boy £1.5m sale advertised to the fans as a way to strengthen...we sign an inexperienced but potentially good player....2 weeks later we have no other signings....aye reight bit of business Oh dear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh_weds_we_love_you Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 @robstaton: No transfer news from Stuart Gray. He says injuries at PL clubs making it hard to do business. #SWFC We've got a reight book of excuses at S6! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are Tony Blair and Alastair Campbell PR consultants for the club? Gray was "hamstrung" before the season started but managed to get the players to perform - he'll have to be a miracle worker to sustain the form we are in now given how thin the squad is in. Milan is rolling the dice again with the wrong gamble. Waiting for Premier League loans to become available with an absolute paper thin squad that is quickly being decimated with injuries is operating at less that survival mode IMHO. I'd like to say that Gray has had the rug pulled from under him but I can't because Milan won't even fork out for the rug! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is simply all he will fund, and that is his choice. Accept it and don't be angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canyoujust Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 That wasn't what he sold the fans at the end of last season.... Giving it a go was his mantra....signing 7 players including 4 of which we had last year is hardly giving it a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree that we haven't recruited enough through the summer again and it's frustrating, presumably this season the takeover caused a lot of those delays. But in this thread you and CanYouJust are stating that MM tells lies, when the fact is every season he has said he will back the manager and he does.

canyoujust Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 We are not telling lies Bigdan..... but don't let that worry you. Milan is the best user of spin going , he knows how to pull our heart strings and when needed he will dip in and provide a short term solution. If he had said at the end of last year....if I am still here all we will do is aim to survive we would have circled wagons and got on with it but no we have 3 months of rhetoric about pushing on etc Milan made a statement in the summer and numerous times about giving it a go , really supporting stuart , season long loans as a min..... None of the above....so far ...has happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
