full fathom five Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Surely we won't be signing any players as we are too busy sorting out the season ticket refunds out for our supporters. Would look pretty poor signing players on a few grand a week when we can't refund our supporters. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t say Carlos was blameless for the mess we are in and then blame monk for resigning Pelupessy etc. Im not trying to have it both ways. Neither Carlos or Monk are to blame for the clubs transfer policy. And I've never suggested Monk was to blame. Of course they still say yes or no to suggested signings so on an individual player level they bear some responsibility for that players subsequent success or failure. On that basis its perfectly reasonable to criticise Monk for choosing to re-sign Pelupessy when he could have said no (Not that I was criticising him but for some reason you seemed to be suggesting I was). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpowl Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 That initial recruitment with that committee with glen roder was our best system transformed our team and hit the grind running why we let that get broke up is quite the mystery because apart from a few half decent signings our transfers have been pretty poor since wonder why we didn’t keep with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swfcjack27 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Didn’t Carlos get absolutely slated on here for destroying the club with all the poor signings he made? I think Monk has cleared up that he will have had little to no involvement in them and Monk is in a similar situation identifying positions he needs then letting the club get on with it. Jordan Rhodes 100000% not a Carlos signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Garry Monk as controlled by THE ROOM NEXT DOOR “I’ve said it all along, it’s important to strengthen the squad regardless, but in our situation, of course it is,” Eh, What does that actually mean though Garry? Try something else, make it sound at least like a proper sentence. “In any window, especially this one, it’s never easy. We understand where we’re at and what we can and can’t do, that’s not easy. It isn't easy? Jesus not again. What exactly are you saying here mate? You might understand where you are at but nobody fekkin else does Garry. Talk about hard work... Everybody is trying to work as hard as they can to find a solution. That's better, bang on message.... “As with anything, I’m hopeful of a few solutions to come in. Solutions! FFS are you playing Scrabble on your phone? Say things like 'players' that people can understand. Talk straight for gods sake If not, I’ll have to deal with that and get on with it. We’ve got a couple of days and we’ll see what happens with that.” Christ on a bike. Lets hope a couple of days is all youve got.. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who does decide on signings and sales. That to me reads as though they have a discussion about players and needs. It’s obviously not GMs job to sort the finances of said transfers. But I’m the next breath he says the club don’t discuss sales with him ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
