Phillips only on for 15 minutes but he didn't look good O'Kane was slightly better yesterday, probably rated him a tad high though, O'Kane is so lightweight, headless chicken comes to mind, amazing how he gets so many games, just goes to show how extremely poor our squad is ! Pearce look like a rabbit in headlights, poor first-half improved after half-time
So MOTM was the player we spent the most on, with Championship experience I can’t see any learning points there
Yes but he still played better than those two.the wind was taking the ball towards east stand so perhaps it was easier for him second half.
Cant remember him giving the ball away.he made forward runs too but no one else did.we seemed to be playing a sideways crab kind of game.
Saw beradi going nuts when they got the winner he was well peed off.at the end he went over to the east and gave his shirt to a fan in a wheelchair. If only we had a team that cared like he does and perhaps thats the problem.we have a team of fairies who need to fook off quick.
Cellino was a dick but a dick with a football brain and money, Rad is a quality kinda guy but no football brain and no money
It’s not a problem then. He will be selling up soon enough... Not convinced he is a quality guy. Being good at managing his pr isn’t the same thing. We will know when he sells up. If he becomes the landlord of the club he is just Bates with a sun tan.
Difficult one because he is making dosh his assets have rocketed (on paper he has made a nice little profit) problem is he is stripping your squad
Surely only GFH were dumb enough to purchase a club that didn’t own its own ground? Edit... I guess Cellino did too, at least Rads did follow through with the purchase
Not quite. For reasons we all understand one of his other companies own the ground. When it all turns sour we will see if our benevolent leader was a chancer or not. I know what I think. We will be screwed again. He has raped the club of its talent to line his pockets and won’t blink over the rent/ selling price of er. At least Teak had the buy back price set in stone.... think about it.
Cellino had Wood,Taylor,Monk, Bartley, Greene, but no stadium, Rad has a stadium,but no Wood,Taylor,Monk,Greene, Pick one now what one do you want ?
Those players would have still left, Cellino was at fault for losing Taylor, his treatment of Taylor and his agent meant he was always going to leave he also lost Ross, Cook, Byram and a few others. As for Monk I’m one of the few who didn’t care about him going. Genuinely I’d still have Rad without a moments thought. Cellino promised to buy the stadium, he then promised to use the Ross money to buy it, each time he lied, awful owner...
Hope you’re wrong, I fully believe the ground will go with any possible sale, any buyer with funds to take us to the next level will insist on it. If they haven’t the funds we don’t want them right?
fair play to you Ristac but I don't think the footy fans are too chuffed personally I would choose Cellino model the stadium was going nowhere the players have gone
End of last season, our form was relegation material, we should have made the top 6 easy. I just don’t get how so many are ignoring the fact at how much we have spent on players. Wood wanted to leave, if Cellino had been here he would have still left. If Cellino had been here there would have been an excuse why not to take the option up on Pontus, Bartley would have still went back, Sacko too and we wouldn’t have seen the Wood money spent. (I think the decision to sign Sacko was poor by Orta) We spent a lot of money on new players, we spent in January and we even spent on getting a new coach in too. Again lots of poor Orta decisions and although I can blame Rad for putting too much trust in Orta his spending can’t be questioned, I can’t even begin to see why anyone doubts his spending... Cellino strips the club of its youth setup, closes the canteen and players bring in a pack lunch, we have one coach as his assistant also gets the sack, our scouting network is stripped as Cellino believes he knows better... Cellino stripped us to the bare bones and yet it is Rads being accused of using us as a cash cow, it’s crazy. No I’m not happy with results this season but last season I wasn’t either. This season I’m happy that the infrastructure and the building blocks are back in place, under Cellino, Bates and GFH there was no light at the end of the tunnel, now it’s shining brightly. Rads changes tact and gets shot of Orta and appoints a proper experienced manager and gives him the same amount of spending power and it’s win win win. Rads decides to sell up to someone with more money and it’s win win win
