A mate spoke to Slutsky after the game, he said he knew he had to ship a load out before he could bring players in, but not to worry as we'd be making quality signings.

Let's hope he's not being played and those signings actually materialise.

That's not what was said a few weeks ago. May not have been from Slutsky but in Ehabs propaganda video for sure.

Quick buck to get the old Bruce players out.

Systematically and consistently selling all players that Bruce brought in for way under their value.

Bruce overpaid for most of the players he brought in. He wasted years of finances which were spent in advance and we are still crippled from it. The players he signed are leaving for their true values.

Maybe a different way to look at things but I have always thought that there was a mental weakness in the squad and had been there for a number of years. I wonder if one of the things silver did was highlight this to the Allams before he left and they are shipping out the longer serving members of the squad to reinvigorate not just physically but also mentally.

You could be right, last time we went down and needed to beat Burnley at home I dont think we had a shot. This time we needed to beat Sunderland and lost, fell apart at palace. Whenever the pressure was on or we were favourites it fell apart, I think bruce illuded to it in an interview about a mental weakness.

We had a lot of spurs boys in our team. Spurs are noted for it.

He overpaid for Maguire and Livermore? 5m at the time for Huddlestone was great business, in my opinion.

"Bruce overpaid for most the players he brought in'"

Since when did most mean all? And for the record, yes he overpaid for Livermore, I recall the whole forum was in agreement at the time. We overpaid by approx 150% for Tom.

Livermore is one of the only players I can think we overpaid for. Even Hernandez has repaid his fee with his performance in the Championship.

Seriously....do I have to explain that one?

teams will only let certain players leave once they have done their own business, it's the same every window, players who wernt available become available later in the window, top end Prem teams will let players go out on loan to champ level once a Prem move is 100% not happening, again as I keep saying I'd love us to have done more business at this stage, but the window is still wide open and a lot of business is yet to be done

That's only true for players who would be capable at prem level though... Are we bringing any of those in? Not even heard mutterings of any genuine quality linked with us yet.

Tommy pointedly thanking everyone except the owner & chairman...and referring to the club as 'HCAFC'

Good lad

What he's not said says it all, doesn't it?


Bottom line is we've lost an excellent player and we will not be able to replace him with the same quality, ability and experience, for the same price.

And by his own admission we could have so simply kept him.







The **** up continues.
