They put those songs on a CD and released it to the public. The public heard it and thought it was great and tons of people ended up buying it. Then the band decide that based on the amount of fans who bought their CD they'd play a live show. The management thought that based on CD sales they'd be able to play a massive stadium. 50k people turn up and and as result the band get rich and famous. 2) The band formed and wrote some songs. They put those songs on a CD and released it to the public. Nobody bought it. The band didn't bother doing any shows. They still make music today and play in the local pub on firdays but all still have their day jobs. I love how both of your scenarios start with the phrase: ”The band formed...” Case closed m’lud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why this has gone on and on. I think using chicken and egg was the wrong phrase to use. I'm not suggesting that the fans literally came first. When you said 'players come first' I thought you were implying that they are the most important. If you'd have said 'came' first i think I'd have read it differently I.e. past tense All I'm arguing is that without players the fans wouldn't have anytbing to support (which you said already) but without the fans you'd just have 22 players playing on a field. They wouldn't be holding 4 year contracts earning 30k a week. Edited June 17, 2018 by poite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How have you assessed whether they’re great or not? What’s your knowledge of their actual job roles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes players need protected, it’s exactly what Hutchinson and Lees said Jos Luhukay has done with them. It’s a far more responsible approach to injury management. Some players will often bs about their fitness, some pretend their fit to play and some will claim their injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEE Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 When was the last time we had a fully fit squad? Preston away probably closest but it’s been said a few times on here that some players including FF were carrying injuries start of last season. I think if we have all our players injury free and proper fit we could be up there next season without having to sign many players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah good to see the longer term injuries in a week or two ahead of normal training for either training or extra fitness work. I'm still convinced that Jos came in and said to to DC something along the lines of "You can't keep limping along with all your best players injured every other week. This season is out of reach but I'll keep you up with kids and reserves, if we give the first team a rest and full rehab for 9 months we can do something next season". All the players that were due back in two weeks dropped off the radar, FF was away for 3 extra months, youth came through, contracts were offered. He could never say it but I think Jos wrote last season off before he walked in the door and I think it could have been an excellent decision. A full season of Hutch, Lee, FF, Hooper, Fletcher, hell even Abdi and Mathias could tear this division a new one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
