Like the bit when he says the list is not who they are looking for. So could be someone none of us have thought off, and possibly going Brighton route.
Poor interview imo, the guy was answering the questions for him. JL did say we aren’t where we want to be ?, really?, the board, or SL denied the manager more players by denying funds from the sale of Scott, then blame the manager when results have been poor lately due to lack of numbers, who’s fault was that?, says they think the players took too long a break over the international break, based on who’s opinion?, Rennie is far more qualified to know than the Lansdown’s or BT, he’s well respected in the industry and has worked at a higher level than us for many years. I’m sure they are well intentioned, no one’s denying that, but they don’t have the expertise and refuse to listen to those that have, and don’t say BT has, he hasn’t the experience of NP or Rennie.
In fairness mate, he answered the funds by saying they already spent it before clubs knew we had money, and if AS sale didn’t go through it would be a lot worse. Like it or not we was close to points deduction with FFP. What was also said that with the funds allows to spend in January or next window at least.
The last few games we’ve played with a scratch team, that’s a direct result of not having a big enough squad, that’s a decision the board made, against NPs wishes. Until then we were just outside the playoffs, 8th wasn’t it?, I don’t get this we aren’t where we should be argument. We’ve now got two winnable games and the cavalry coming back. It’s bullshit mate. The decision had been made and we move on, but they must think we are thick if they think we’ll fall for their reason for getting rid of Nige. He ruffled their feathers.
**** me mate, Nige said in the beginning he wants to work with a smaller squad, and ours was too big.
What like there was at Ipswich when you said the fans are going to protest not getting a new contract. Tell me how that went?
He also made it clear when Scott was sold he wanted to use some money to increase squad numbers, there’s a small squad and a ridiculously small squad, I’m afraid ours is the latter. If it’s down to health issues I understand they can only say so much, but if you listen to and read the interview JL alluded to not being where we should be and to paraphrase giving players to long a break over the internal break. That’s bollocks,
I believe our 1st team squad is 27, it's not that small tbh. Yes it's stretched right now, but that is only for 1 or 2 games. Regarding the Scott sale, I think I recall reading somewhere that the c£5m Nige was give for new players in the summer was with the expectation that Scott would be sold, so he was given the money 'up front'?
SORRY ..... until you find and re read, if you have already read it , the comment that NP HAD A BUDGET , that was based on AS leaving, and if he didnt SL would pick up the tab of money spent /so therefore honoured .... then you will never understand that part of BCFC's history timeline!
They have 20 outfield players including TGH and Roberts and Benarous, who’ve got a handful of first team games between them, and Benarous has been injured since Jesus was a child. That’s 17 what I would call first teasers, which include Bell and Conway, who are both pretty much in their first full season. They have Max as a keeper, the others again have next to no first team experience, that’s tight.
