He capitulated at Leeds and speak to Birmingham fans they hate him were glad when he went. He was alright at Swansea. When he was at Leeds they looked really good. The football was fast paced and dynamic, they really impressed me. At Brum he got them in a great position with his hands tied behind his back and then was sacked because of a points deduction that was in no way his fault. Don't care what the Brum fans think, i've not a lot of time for them. I was pleased when we got him because I wanted us to play like the Leeds team did before they collapsed. I'm hoping he can do well so i i'm not proven an idiot... Edited June 25, 2020 by Daizan10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also need to be a lot fitter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I think that the way we play has been imposed on him by our current players and he is doing what HE thinks is best. I don't agree with the style of play but I am prepared to see what a full preseason and some new signings of his choosing will bring us next year. We were 3rd and had a very good chance of competing but the capitulation is not all the managers fault and the players have to carry the majority of the blame for not giving enough effort.

That old chestnut. Also, like Mr C I have no idea how to run a football club and for that reason I'll be keeping my money in my pocket.

camffiti Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 IF we can stumble over the line this season, with a dozen players ... Next season, how do we replace Hutchinson, Forrestieri & Fletcher without FFP flouncing? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be able to be competitive in the market, we’ll actually be in a fit and healthy position. Some clubs in this division will be on their ar.5es, while other clubs will have to tread very carefully. No. It's a rolling three year period. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) Is Wickham a viable option to replace Fletcher next season? I’m not sure how much he would cost, but I’m pretty certain he will move on In truth, he’s never really convinced as a top flight player, with most of his success coming in the championship. It’s unlikely that he would be loaned out again, but Palace would expect a fee. If we balked at paying the £4m Chelsea wanted for Hector, having seen what he could do, will we shell out a similar amount for an injury plagued Wickham Edited June 25, 2020 by gurujuan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe that he wants to sell and it would be really interesting to see who would be actually in the mix should the club be put up for sale in the very near future.

WalthamOwl Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Listening to the Wildsmith interview earlier it sounded like he thinks Fletcher and Fox might sign new deals with us after the season has ended! No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
