StudentOwl Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I'm obviously delighted we've kept our best players However, now my genuine fear is that DC has risked the entire financial future of the club by keeping these players instead of selling to give us even a tiny amount of wiggle room. I appreciate that's a highly pessimistic viewpoint... I'm sure the powers-that-be have done the required maths to ensure that we're not going to be (further) crippled by keeping them. But at the same time, I can't help but be fearful. Fingers crossed eh chaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be in trouble next season if we don't go up, the chairman said. Bannan and Westwood should have both been sold this window. Both out of contact and will walk away for nothing next season.

marshy Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 If Westwood isn't starting on Saturday then you have to ask WTF is going on. I can see the not playing him if he was about to leave, but as it's not happened he surely has to start doesn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We allow out of contract players to leave, Lee, Palmer, Bannan, Westwood, Jaoa, Hooper, Matias, Abdi, Jones (think that’s it) all leave free. Fessi, Reach, Lees, Winall any other salable asset made available. And kids / freebies used to full those gaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely been a falling out between him and the management and if it plays out like mcgugan's well it'll be scandalous ! If DC has got any say on it then I'm afraid KW could well be frozen out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed eh chaps I figured that if the mad plan is to solve all our problems by getting promoted then we wouldn’t sell anyone this week in order to see how it goes. If it’s not going well in January then there will be a few big sales to balance the books... ish. Although it’s just occurred to me that knowing our luck we’ll be about 4th come January, tantalisingly close to the automatic spots so we’ll hang on to the players only to drop away and be thoroughly buggered for a couple of years. Then again, that’s not likely either is it. So yeah, players to be flogged in January bar a miracle or some (more) rank stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Fulham really have signed some quality in this window. I’m shocked just how much money they have spent. Wish it was us. That Hull game will haunt me for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t fathom why some of those players have signed for Fulham and I’m positive we’d not have attracted them, maybe it’s the London thing? But, completely agree that the pull of premiership and clever use of Sky’s money could have set us up for a generation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
