swfc1983 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Great idea, now if only Chansiri could start a contact with some dodgy foreign agency to get the players we need all will be well again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are now over two months down the line and one week away from the start of the new season so I think the supporters deserve to be told why are we as an established Championship club still only got one senior striker on our payroll. What have our recruitment team been doing for the last 2/3 months because the players we’ve been supposedly been interested in have all failed to sign on at SWFC. Surely our targets should have been researched to gauge their interests in joining SWFC. It was obvious that Leko for instance was always going to opt for another club in the Midlands ahead of other suitors given that he can still stay close to family and friends surely our recruitment team knew that from the offset. Our recruitment team should have had a long list of strikers/forwards who would be available for the new season and would welcome the opportunity to apply their goal scoring abilities in the Championship. I appreciate minus 12 points from day one may put a few players off but have we now lost our ability to attract good players to our once great club or are we now regarded as a club that is going nowhere Its time people at SWFC stop making feeble excuses and start to get measured on what success they can bring to the club. Its an absolute joke that with just over one week to go before the start of the new season we only have Rhodes as a recognized senior striker. You should hang your heads in shame. What is this 'Recruitment Team'? We know very well what the recruitment process is. Doyen gives Chansiri a list of names. Chansiri passes the list on to his son who checks them out on Football Manager. The son passes the list back to his dad with a few ticks. That is how we got players from A... to U... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one who signed off on the ridiculous wages that some of players got paid over the past 4-5 years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blatter Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 1 hour ago, Tudders said: It makes it all the more unbelievable that we let Nuhiu leave. I’m a big fan of Atdhe’s and in my opinion there’s no way he should have been allowed to leave, but when you’re down to the bare bones, it’s ridiculous. Allowed to leave? The man wanted to move on after seven seasons at the club. A large section of the fan base made it clear they wanted him gone too.You can’t stop somebody leaving at the end of a contract if they want to go. Every club wants strikers. A relegation battle starting on -12 does not put us in a good position. The good deals are always done late in the transfer window.....believe.
