Morepork Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 2 minutes ago, Groundhopping Owl said: Does make me wonder if there's something to the suggestions that DC is hanging on and hoping that the FFP rules will be relaxed to avoid half the Championship plunging off the rails. The system as it's currently set up is farcical - right intentions but appallingly implemented. Was just about to post exactly that. With so many clubs in the same boat, the EFL may adapt the rules once more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully DC will leave all future signings to be picked by Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had say, Ipswich made them, we’d have been mocking them. What I’m hoping is, that they will enable to set up in the way that Bruce wants us to play We can upgrade in the summer What I am hoping for is Bruce starts getting the best out of the players we have got here. a lot of which are miles better than them two.

Indeed, parachute payments didn't make it into enough of a closed shop so they had to have another go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.flem Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 To be fair to Chansiri, he delivered Carvalhal some excellent signings in Forestieri, Bannan, Hooper, Wallace, Pudil, Hunt... a lot of bad ones also but surely the manager had some say on targets.

The parachute payments are " officially " to help relegated clubs pay the high wages of the players, yet the clubs just use it to sign more players on massive wages and massive fees and forcing other clubs trying to compete into massive debt .

fpowl Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Our recruitment in the first transfer window under Carlos was excellent it’s been dire since. These players are adding what we’ve needed to add since then which is pace add the fact I have confidence in Bruce getting the best out of these players and are run of fixtures coming up where I’m hoping to pick up a good number of points going into March we might be one hungry hard team to play against i hope this works. Even if we fall short a real go at getting into those playoffs will restore everybody’s faith and hopes for next season. i hope we can do this and not get too negative about the summer and take it into next season certainly going to be interesting in Bruce we trust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also doubt Murphy would relish a mid table slog in favour of an automatic promotion push. We need to be at that end of the table to get those players.
