Definitely not evidence that the club hasn't backed Monk then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF was that all about Are you for real? Surely this is a wind up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppers Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I am still convinced DC has a healthy income stream rather than a pot of money he can dip in to. He bought the club in instalments over 2 years. Seems happy to bank roll a wage bill but can’t conjure up money for signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you suggesting in this thread? Are you suggesting the Dunkley signing is responsible for our current predicament? Are you suggesting that it was a bad idea, signing a player recovering from an injury? This isn't unique,& may pay off. Are you suggesting the signing was made for non footballing reasons? As rumoured with Emmanuelson. Either way it should not be a massive influence on failing to get a single point from Lu, Roth & WW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flat Owl Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Are cripples ‘lucky’ in Thai culture? Do they ward off evil spirits and bring prosperity? Or do they protect their ‘owner’ by being a focal point against nasty accidents and illness - a sort of health insurance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manager's tend not to go to the press and say 'this is a TERRIBLE signing - his leg is broken in two places!!!" So honest Monk, the most honest manager we have had in many years according to you, was not being honest about his first signing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again nobody is talking about the recent results - stop trying to shove them into the conversation Let's talk about the fact that this summer, the summer of 2020, when things literally couldn't be going any worse, that Sheffield Wednesday Football Club signed a player with a leg broken in two places, who had metal rods in his leg, as the future captain of the club. Let's stick to that point because it's a really important point to give us as fans an idea of how the club is being ran, where we are headed, and why Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's stick to that point because it's a really important point to give us as fans an idea of how the club is being ran, where we are headed, and why I thought Pelupessy was going to be the future captain of the club. Ok so the thread had no hidden agenda, & was purely informing us that 1 of the 7 signings was recovering from a bad injury. I think everyone knows this. Maybe some are unaware & they now know.
