I honestly think with a good manager if we bought a winger with pace, good central midfielder and a 20 goal a season striker we’d walk it.
Something definitely needs to change and quick. I was looking at a few photos from training and there wasn’t one smile anywhere they all looked completely pissed off!!! Just smacked of them being very unsettled.
Even with wage cap which I'll be honest o don't think is a bad thing I'd certainly be in favour of it in the premier League to stop such a lop sided system getting any worse. We could always just do what we've been talking about doing for the last 10 years and buy young players who will grow and develop and as they get better they increase in value and most importantly the team gets better as well.
Play proper players in there position, and with a manager and coaches with right attitude who looks them in the eyes and gets them playing decent style of football we should walk this league, square pegs in round holes don't work.
Was thinking what if Poyet became the DoF and not the manager, but brought his own men in, ones that he usually has with him. Maybe you could have someone like Phillips as the manager with somebody as his assistant and say Charlie oatway (who normally works in a Poyet set up) as first team coach. Like I say, was just a thought.
Bloody hell smug have we not waited long enough , how long will it take us to get there , starting to sound like the kids when we took them on holiday . Think we should have a sweep ?
Contracts and EFL documentation 2/3 weeks away from coming to a conclusion. Progressing well. Nothing imminent on any announcement. No truth in the Rich Energy claim apprently. KTF
Good news. Although I fear that another 3 weeks of Parkinson could leave us too far behind the pack or with a squad morale so low that another season in this league is inevitable. I wish a managerial change from the incoming owners could be done with more immediacy.
As far as I know you're free to pay up any contracts you want, don't think the player has any say in it. Could be wrong.
I think I agree with Grigg and McLaughlin and probably Graham. The others I’d like to see with a new boss first but I’m being kind to say OBrien I realise. Dobson I’d keep. The principle is right though.
So.. announcement.. we have one person saying 2/3 weeks and another saying within the next week.. why the big discrepancy??
Let's hope this one happens after the previous false dawns. We need a complete reboot of the club from top to bottom. Your updates are always appreciated.
Th This is my worry as well. 5 games up to and including 12th December when we play Lincoln away. Hopefully we have an early Christmas present and stay in touch with the top 2
different sources with different perspectives. We are never going to get a perfect roadmap. I’m just grateful they’re all broadly saying the same thing - ie it is getting done. Christmas dinner should taste good this year
Fully Wheatsheaf vs Magnus now then. Either 2/3 weeks away, or within a week. @Prehab26 @Hawyatt Earp who you boys siding with?
