Saleable assets will need to be sacrificed for the greater good. in the end that will be the bottom line, then the maths of how much money lost on the venture will be calculated, before restructuring can start. that said i'm not sure we have the correct off field set up evry to make this a success. i must say i do feel for the guy who brought his money, bought the club, funded what he thought was improvements, only to see what i think is money squandered on fees and wages for players who have hardly featured for one reason or another. i think i'd better leave it at that.

Obviously the Manager will identify the position he wants strengthening, and probably which player/s he wants to buy., but there is a limit to which player he buys. This consists of a) the price b) the amount thhe player wants c) whether the playeris willing to come. tbh, i haven't seen us let pricing bother us too often, quite the contrary we've been splurging too much for players fees and wages.

Never mind blaming CC, DC or team injuries ladies and gents, for me, the blame for our horrible season lies fairly and squarely with Theowlsman. He has clearly been constipated since August, and has not had a LHTD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We lack the two vital ingredients to be successful , Pace and Power. we have neither . As you rightly say , everything we do is at snails pace , and so easy for the opposition to defend against.

leono Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 This was pretty obvious if you look at recent signings and how infrequently they actually got picked to play games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SallyCinnamon Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Today the chairman is pitchside with Luhukay before kick off. Its wrong. He needs to take a back seat and leave it to the manager and his team. His relationship with managers will be his downfall. A good chairman stays in the background and comes to the forefront when it's only necessary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrmason69 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Palmer has also said today that the owner also dictated which players the managers could sign. Apparently our lovely owner also dictates which players can leave. This explains much. I could never work out why cc signed the hopeless Boyd and then gave him a fifty grand a week two year deal. Clearly Rhodes was the owners pick. What is he up to?, why is he signing has beens on massive wages? I told you all many weeks ago that our owner was a dictator, a person with a totalitarian attitude and demeanor. If someone was trying to ruin the club then they couldn't do a better job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
