Guest Andy W Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Good..but let's get this into perspective, SWFC are a hobby, a pasrime to most supporters. The club is a shambles and are on the way down, not there yet. So hearing that people you don't know have been paid is not really of much interest to your average supporter..doesn't pay their bills does it?

NorthernOwl Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 26 minutes ago, Smackavolley said: You're missing my point. Some players at the club stopped acting like professional footballers should long before their wages were stopped. It's a sh!tshow. We all know it. We can point the finger why it's rotten to the core and I think we'd be right. It doesn't excuse the conduct of senior pros who patently downed tools well before last season. So yep, there's a little bit of me wish they'd suffered. Unfortunately it's rare they do. I don't buy the players downing tools narrative. If you create a chaotic environment where you have point deductions, unpaid players, managers changing every few weeks then you don't get the best out of people. Its wasn't a case of players not trying but clearly the above will affect morale and that in turn affects performances. Professional footballers are not robots. The off field stuff obviously has a big impact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The off field stuff obviously has a big impact. You're banging on about points deductions and manager changes. Of course it has an impact and of course it will impact on performances and the mood of the club. Professional players are definitely not robots but some are entitled, extremely selfish and childish. I think we've had more than our fair share recently. Unfortunately all trumped by a basket case of a chairman. Their contracts should be honoured but as I stated earlier, I wish one or 2 hadn't to wipe the smug look off their faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djstatic Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Other clubs have had issues similar to ours with lesser paid and lesser skilled players. Some of those clubs survived. Some of the "performances" put in by some last season was pitiful to watch and hard to take. They are professionals at the end of the day. I am not surprised not many have got fixed up yet.

So in summary you accept all the off field stuff will affect player performances but you still blame them anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time he appears to have been selecting which players he has been paying or not. Funnily enough it's all the ones who are leaving whereas - from what i've read - players like Bannan have , so it does stack up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay them then And stop giving them a new manager every three months And stop giving them a twelve point deduction And stop having transfer embargoes etc etc etc Simplez 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's likely that the limit will be lifted on attendances so more season tickets and match day tickets and revenue is not far away. . Some people have become obsessed with selling their souls ffs.

I agree with you in the most part but we're paying Bannan what's effectively a premier league wage to play in league 1. He's due an injury at some point. I'd rather the money was spread around better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
