I’ll be at the Stadium of Light on Saturday, but have to say I’m looking forward to it with about as much relish as a date with Diane Abbott. In the unlikely event that we sign players in the next 6 days and with Taylor & Fosu out injured, is this now our “strongest” starting X1 ... Phillips Solly Page Pearce Bauer Pratley Forster-Caskey Aribo Marshall Ajose Aherne-Grant Blimey
If that's the starting XI don't even think about our subs' bench Let's hope we still have Bauer with us by next weekend. And we still don't know who is leaving unexpectedly.
I don't think we will be signing any players next week. By listening to Bowyer he made a point that the transfer window doesn't close until 31st August. On another issue Magennis has been sold for a cut price £200000 He was our top scorer and an international. We turned down a bid of £500000 in January. Another wonderful bit of business. Bowyer is starting to sound like Robinson. He actually kept a straight face and said that the squad is stronger than last season. Players fit for Saturday. Phillips Solly Bauer Sarr Pearce Page Marshall Aribo Forster-Caskey Lapslie, Ajose, Grant, Hackett- Fairchild, Maloney Maynard-Brewer, Mascoll Bowyer said that Pratley is not fit enough. That is sixteen players. We can't even fill a bench. That is five kids, whom Bowyer says are not ready. So how the **** is the squad stronger than last season? Eh Bowyer? I am so angry about what is happening to our Club, watching it die before our eyes. We might also be another player short when we play Sunderland. They must be rubbing their hands together with glee that they are playing us in the first game of the season.
The Aussies and their entourage are hugely culpable. The next deadline to look out for is Saturday. Bowyer has been told by the Whopper King that he will appointed manager if the takeover isn’t done. If he isn’t, by next Saturday, Bowyer must resign out of principle. No ifs or buts. Fvck this ragbag team.
Which he won't. Bowyer has been given an opportunity he did not expect. Good luck to him there, but he'll suffer Dushitelet like all the others.
The Aussies are sitting by as Duchatelet is stripping the Club of anything of value. WHY HAVE THEY NOT BOUGHT US YET? What are they waiting for? The supporters do not deserve this. We have stuck with the Club through some difficult times, like nearly going out of business, moving to Selhurst. But nothing feels as bleak as it does at the moment.
Personally I think Bowyer is a man of principle & will walk if the promise is not honoured next Saturday.
First game of last season 17/18 Amos Solly, Bauer, Pearce, Dasilva Fosu, Kashi, JFC, Holmes Clarke, Novak First game this season 18/19. Probable.without anybody else being sold. Phillips Solly, Bauer, Pearce, Page Marshall, Aribo, Forster- Caskey, Lapslie Grant, Ajose
Players who have been sold or returned to their parent Clubs or retired. Amos, Dasilva, Konsa, Lennon, Kashi, Jackson, Kaikai, Mavididi, Zyro, Magennis. Players brought in, Taylor, Pratley I can see how Bowyer thinks we have improved the squad.
We are a couple of early injuries away from the relegation zone. Just had a look at our fixtures ....Chris Powell could put us there in early Sept
Thank fvck the Aussies are coming to the rescue. Eh ? The only thing is their famous 5 year plan for the Premier League may now need to be a 6 year plan, as they have sat back & dithered while Duchatelet has applied the Last Rites to what was left of the team.
