Mr Farrell Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 2 minutes ago, RUMBELOWS91 said: Agreed, and the losses are to be expected, however it's what we've spent the money on that's an issue- we've ended up with a squad that's not really fit for purpose (if the purpose is to challenge at the top end) because we're loaded with misfiring strikers and too many similar midfielders, and a lack of quality defenders. We've also failed to stay within FFP (almost certainly next year anyway) which is a concern given DC has continually said we must be mindful of it (not mindful enough it seems). Fact is, if we'd had an effective transfer strategy we could have built on 15/16 and had another decent crack this year and next. Instead though we've mismanaged the £39m margin for the last year and a half and we're about to feel the pain. This. Enough people have been raising it for long enough.

It's what you do with them.. isn't it really? FFS. Certainly is old bean. We've managed to make them looked chained by invisible shackles.

Not sure you can blame the strategy of the Chairman for losing one game tbh. 4 minutes ago, RUMBELOWS91 said: Agreed, and the losses are to be expected, however it's what we've spent the money on that's an issue- we've ended up with a squad that's not really fit for purpose (if the purpose is to challenge at the top end) because we're loaded with misfiring strikers and too many similar midfielders, and a lack of quality defenders. We've challenged at the top end both years that this squad has even been vaguely fit. If you want to say our squad without Hooper, Forestieri, Fletcher, Bannan, Lee, Lees, Westwood, Hutch etc. etc. isn't good enough, fine - but then you should remove their wages from the consideration too.

I know you are jesting mate but a few people don't like change and would be happy for us to return to the stoneage and it shows with their continued agenda of the barrage of constant drivel against the club day in, day out, no names mentioned, as no need everyone can see who they are... No harm in asking questions and being concerned and worried, far from it Obsession will get the better of them eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our style was to move the ball quickly and press when we didn't have it. The moment the critical mass occurred.. when we ran out of desire/player fitness/motivation...then the game was up. FFS.

The rules are set out on the EFL website: https://www.efl.com/-more/governance/efl-rules--regulations/appendix-5---financial-fair-play-regulations/ This an interesting point of possible exception: 2.4.2 Post year end player sales proceeds which can be demonstrated to have been used to fund previous losses; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think for the money he'd spent he'd had been asking more questions of the man deciding on them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More do know about FFP and it is essentially the same purpose under a different name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) Well our season just keeps getting better and better DC not looking like the great business man we hoped, that bloody Doyen won’t have helped things imo. Bad bad advice. Edited March 1, 2018 by WalthamOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
