More worrying is the type of signing this is and suggests that we arnt going to go the spendaggeddon route. Let’s be honest though or situation is to stay up in 5/6 months. I think moving forward goes out the window. We HAVE to stay up. The salary cap in league 1, the fact we’re struggling to pay players now in this league. We cannot afford to go down and if he might help us stay up? I’m for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think he could be manager sooner if we are relegated? He’s been through the entire spectrum of emotions as a footballer plus he will have learned a lot from his time under Lukuhay and Monk in how not to manage a squad of players? A priceless bit of experience going forward for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteOwl91 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Can’t wait until we sign Gary Hooper from the ISL after smashing in 1 penalty in 6 games then going off with injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls2k Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Looking forward to Hutch improving both our injury and disciplinary record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club has to start taking a longer term approach, but is actually found itself in a position, where the only option is another short term view. I thought there were signs that the club was moving, not before time, to a more sustainable way of doing things. However, maybe the 12 point deduction changed things, and panic set in. Some of the signings made, and the appointment of Pulis, do not suggest long term planning. I never like these short term approaches, whether for a promotion campaign, or a relegation battle, but whether I like it or not, it may be what’s needed to try and get us out of the current situation 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopparberg Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Generally speaking, this club wastes so much money it’s unbelievable. Literally the club has no clue what it’s doing. Release a player, who’s been paid to sit at home half the time, then try and get that player back once he’s gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look how long it’s taken other ‘big’ clubs to get out of league 1. Sunderland still there now, blades took a while. And let’s be honest, I don’t think there’s much faith in the running of our club to get us promoted if those clubs struggled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Would rather we sign a ball-winner who is better on the ball than Hutchinson. Someone who can play possession football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopparberg Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Maybe Chansiri shouldn’t have allowed assets (players) to be frozen out etc - letting Jos and Monk do what they thought was right has cost the club results... and money while they sat at home .... it’s also cost the club money by not moving them on sooner. Terrible all round. (I’m not fanboy of Westwood and Hutchinson either). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppers Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Shows what a mess we are in. No real strategy at the top. We need a midfielder like Hutch but I am not sure Hutch is the answer. Anyway, I’ll back Pulis. If he wants him let’s do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
