jonnyowl Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Pixao is an Advisor DC is a business man. When advisor gives business man advice and business performs poorly then normally get rid of the people giving you advice. Business man however continues to listen to the advisor, this make business man a fool, not a wise man! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 There is many good free agents in the UK, then there is good young players that are British based. foreign players are no longer the cheap option. After wasting millions on under performing foreign players, its time for DC and Paxo to take a step back and leave the recruitment to the competent staff. All we need DC for is paying for the players. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Kamberi was ok and did well on occasions. None of the overseas players were bad players. Sometimes it's just a case of not being the right fit. We had too many players and a few never had a proper chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably at least shifts the balance more towards homegrown players. There is a points system in place now where players get points based on their club, appearances, international appearances etc. I think it does make it harder to get overseas players in at our level. Personally I would like to see as many British youngsters given a chance as humanly possible but accept sometimes you can’t find what you need here and might have to look elsewhere. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not believing in any forced signings. I am confident no player will be "forced" on the manager.But that's not saying much. DM seems to have had the final say so and has insisted in talking to potential recruits before they finally sign. I hope it continues. Paxo has to prove himself though doesn't he and I am sure his services are not free. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone on here actrually know who signs who. Does anyone on here actually know what Paxos involvement with the club is. For all we know he might just be DC's intimate friend and confidante.

Wasn’t he also part of the revised set up when we ditched the transfer committee and brought in Pudil, Bannan and Forestieri? That may not have had anything to do with him either but we can’t assume each bad transfer is his recommendation. Our issue has always been finance and a lack of financial planning. We built a good side but short term and have been hampered ever since due to not being able to buy and sell. If we have a better grip on that then having more contacts alongside analysts etc can only be a good thing? League One, Bottom of Championship, heavily in debt, don't own the ground anymore He's done a superb job........ for someone. But not for us.

Gibson was unlucky with injuries, I really think our season would of turned out different if we’d of got 40 games out of him, Paxo clearly signed those players though, just a good job Moore got Byers and Gregory in or we’d of been terrible last season… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluesteel. Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 6 hours ago, WhiteOwl91 said: Thats not strictly true. His top 2 targets were Sean Morrison and Richard Keogh. Also wanted Grant Hanley and Daniel Ayala. Priced out of all of them. He wanted championship established central defenders, he said that in an interview at the time. We got JVA no doubt because as a package he was cheaper than we were being quoted for those above (believe it or not, i know JVA was still up to £4m). It turns out we knew we'd smashed FFP so who knows what the conversations around finances were behind the scenes. Neil Warnock said about the Morrison bid that '£3m wouldn't buy one of his legs'. So ultimately, if we hadn't blown money on the likes of Abdi, Rhodes, we probably could have afforded Sean Morrison or any of those. Keogh wasn’t the worst at playing from the back and Ayala could cope with it. Accepted the others are at the other end of the spectrum but had played in the premier league. What I’m saying is that there were options on frees or cheap in the EFL that we could’ve got to do that but presumably we chose JVA for his passing and was at the time dubbed someone to develop ie not the finished article physicaly but the Derby finished him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would get a buyer. There's more billionaires out there and plenty who know a far sight more about business than running a water jet walking or taxi business. anyhow, chansiri may just be a figurehead and Paso may be the real gaffer with his own consortium of owners.? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogbad Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 Funny how a successful signing is regarded as a DM signing but an unsuccessful signing is regarded as a Paxo signing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
