After a season to consolidate and give youth a chance under Ramsey lasted about two months before Tone returned and announced we were going for it. Another three months, two managerial changes, no significant improvement in results and here we are officially giving the season the last rites on deadline day. Several of the big earners have gone as well as our major goalscorer only to be replaced by a League One striker and winger, and a League Two keeper. We've gone from shopping in Harrods to shopping in Poundland and it seems we are just going to limp through the rest of the season going nowhere. I just hope we don't slide in the last few weeks and find ourselves in the dogfight...
We were buying **** in Harrods. Just because it's expensive **** it is still ****. Our Poundland purchases might be Waitrose some day.
All spin and everything being done on a constant knee-jerk whim. A joke imo. It's been hard of late trying to get enthusiastic about any aspect of our club imo!
Thank you for your kind words. They are a nice bunch. Not muct activity on my board this one seems to be the busiest in the Championsip section You offer your team great support!
I don't think we've done too badly in this window, completely agree with Watfords first post. I'm left astounded however that we didn't bring in a left back. Anyone who could run properly would have done.
If your team do go down then I think there's one busy board in league one Unless of course they make the playoffs
We've tried expensive premier superstars. They did not work. Why not give low league wannabes a chance. I think we had one once...his name was Charlie Austin
People moaned that we had become a Cash cow for greedy has beens ..a media circus...now we are being prudent and low profile some still ain't happy....yee gods!
No way, the polt will still score and the defence looking more solid , mid table obscurity for the next few years on the cards.
All very dramatic but don't forget about FFP if we don't balance books we get a transfer embargo. There is no denying that Ramsey and JFH have underperformed with the squads they have. If we were up there with a chance of automatic then maybe we would have gambled and kept Austin and Sandro but with the league position, FFP and next season to concentrate on I think we've had an excellent window. Sandro gone is a shame but it's a reality. Now Luongo can get more game time, become a better player and forge a partnership with Faurlin to be the base of next year's team. Austin's sale of £4m rising to £8m with add ons was a reality of FFP and our league position. Part of that money bought Washington which looks a great buy. Added bonus his contract don't end in the summer!! Afobe and Ali were both League One last year. So don't right off quality to be found in that league. Will not miss Fer at all. He can't be bothered in this league. And with FFP we are better off without. Him leaving means more time for the far more effective Chery and this new lad from Burton. JET clearly doesn't fit into JFH's style so again makes sense to clear a wage to help balance the books. Also with Robinson nearing fitness that's like a new signing. So overall i'd say TF and Co gave them a chance they ****ed it up. Now they are giving JFH another chance but within our means which is sensible considering FFP
