    Oasis have sold relatively little compared to others, especially the Beatles, Stones, Abba, Led Zep, Queen,The Who, Kinks and loads of others.

    <laugh> You've just posted a list of some of the biggest selling artists of all time and Oasis are on that list, though The Kinks aren't (Oasis have sold 50% more records than The Kinks).

    Pretty sure there are some Indian or Chinese singers sold more than these guys.

    They still aren’t amongst the biggest sellers of all time. They didn’t crack America. Neither did the Kinks after they were banned because Ray Davies, who had a notoriously short temper, decked a promoter,

    To be fair whilst I agree with you I reckon 90% is about right for the amount of people in the World in any profession that would go elsewhere for more money. Why would you stay at Tesco if Sainsbury offer you an extra 3k?

    Oasis sound is way more influenced by Slade than The Beatles.
    Oasis sound nothing like The Stones.

    All brilliant bands (ABBA) aside though I have a couple of ABBA albums in my collection it’s just not for me.
    Oasis are brilliant band though the later albums are obviously not as great when comparing them to the first two albums and the early B-Sides.
    Good to have them back and I hope we get an album.

    I'll argue, it wasn't the boring football that got Rosie sacked. We were in the top six at the January transfer window, Acun brought in a load of better players and we got worse. Final game still in with a chance of a play off place and didn't even try to win the game.
    Those better players mostly have moved to Premier league teams for loads of money which shows how good they were and how we as a team under performed.

    as we are seeing now, you can’t just throw a bunch of players together and expect them to be able to perform.

    we’ve had one of the easier openings on paper but the 4 teams we’ve played have all had little to no turnover. Leeds played with 9/11 players who were there last season, Millwall had 10/11, Plymouth 10/11 and Bristol was 9/11.

    Ours was 6/11 really as Pandur is only just playing his first competitive games.

    Didn’t Kevin Kilbane take a pay cut when times were tough?

    But we didn't score enough goals last season and had to play with a false 9 due to lack of a proper striker.

    Striker is the most important position and yet again the one we've failed yet again to fill properly. We were constantly told that if Oscar goes he will be replaced. We are now praying that are 2 strikers come good and they don't have any injuries.

    Is it coincidence that last season we seemed to be beating other clubs to signing wanted players but this season seem to be constantly losing out

    Well it's clear but I don't know where you've got it from.

    We don't seem to be trying to do anything on the cheap. We've paid some decent fees and we wanted to spend more so I don't see any reason to believe we've cut what we're offering in wages. We seem to have excess money that we tried to spend but couldn't get anyone to take it.

    About wages, I have the same feeling. People keep saying we cleared high-earners, Seri, Tufan, Oscar. Do we actually know how much we are paying for current players, currently salary expectations seems like player fame/reputation correlation in people's mind, but reality could be different.
