Seriously, do people honestly think everyone is sitting on their hands waiting for things to happen? I think they are trying but not succeeding. The opinions on whether that is acceptable range from person to person but past history with squad management increases pessimism. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's unlikely to be any pay on the day this coming season, not this side of Christmas anyway. We're going to struggle to get all season ticket holders in with restrictions that are going to be put in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean honestly do you? If Monk was more urgent, do you think this would help? Yes he does however the lack of resources created by the Pandemic changes everything including SWFC.

It's a bit misleading, we're clearly missing numbers but not as badly as that list makes out. I just listed the Joao and Thorniley as the started the season and played games. No permanent signings we brought in played a game for another club that season. They were signed before the season started so not replacements for those then sold/released.

If anything we've been spoilt in recent years - historically i was delighted with a signing or two, be that on deadline day or any other point. If that signing cost a bob or two that was like christmas. Nowadays it seems like we expect the club to spend spend spend, beat off all competition and get them top class players in early.

Seriously, do people honestly think everyone is sitting on their hands waiting for things to happen? Given the last 20 years and especially the position the club is in now, is it any wonder some fans will think they could do better? I haven’t really seen people saying that by the way, more they are frustrated by lack of planning, forward thinking and action. Same with any business, some do it well and others don’t and fail. In terms of how we appear to be run (12 points the biggest indicator) we are currently failing. Hopefully it will improve. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldishowl Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 No pay on the gate this season Probably no more season ticket money No on the day hospitality income What limited sponsorship we had probably gone But DC , why aren’t you putting your hand in your pocket to pay some big fees and ignore any wage budget, we have got to compete with the failure payment clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve been down the experience route before and it’s failed us, but I do think we need a couple seasoned and experienced pros to help us out. We’ve had success with it in the past. I remember Michael Johnson and Graham Kavanagh coming in under Laws and turning results around. Steve Watson in the middle helped us hugely at the time. In more recent seasons Glenn Loovens was a fantastic signing. People are quick to dismiss experience due to the likes of Abdi, Jones, Boyd absolutely stinking the place out - but the right type of pro could make all the difference this season. Chris Brunt?

Bloxwich Owl Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Bristol City are in talks to sign former Sheffield Wednesday and West Bromwich Albion midfielder Chris Brunt according to Football Insider. Brunt’s 13-year stay at the Hawthorns came to an end this summer as he departed the Baggies with his legendary status in tact following their promotion to the Premier League.

gurujuan Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 2 hours ago, jonesy87shef said: Since last season started we have lost Fox Bates Thorniley Lee Hutchinson Murphy Fletcher Nuhui Forestieri Winnall Wickham Da Cruz Joao Windass We have replaced them with Brown Dunkley Fizz Also Van Aken and Penny returning who seemed surplus to requirements. There is some tripe on that list, but it is concerning how few we’ve replaced. As been mentioned, even if we bring in a couple of strikers now they will be behind with fitness, tactics, gelling with the squad and probably have to a new city. I’m pleased with the 3 brought in, however whatever way you look at it recruitment this pre season has been a shambles. Exactly, that why I posted we are actually in a better position than most clubs, we’ve already cleared the decks and freed up a substantial amount wages We just need get on with it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, all whilst been in a position where spending isn’t an option , and maybe even now having an owner not prepared to spend regardless There’s no more signed blank cheques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
