Ah yes the matete savings when he’s out on loan could return at any time and is coming back at the end of the year

WTF is this constant digging away at the club ...

... if people are so against SAFC why don't they support someone else, anyone else <doh>

How about Newcastle who haven't won a decent trophy since 1955 who've sold two decent players and only signed 4 nondescript players.

Two are back up keepers and the other two won't start tomorrow ...

... oh yeah, and they're owned by murderers.

Not sure if you’ve misunderstood my message or if you’re talking about the other guy.

im not digging the club I’m laughing saying we’re spending money by using savings on a bloke that’s still our player.

apologies if I’ve misread yours too
 
You're a betting man ...

... how much would you put on Speakman being sacked at evens?

Seriously, what would Ballard, Rigg, Jobe, etc think if, having committed themselves to the club, the DOF is booted out.
**** all at that price.

I don’t believe he’ll be sacked but the stick he’d receive if we don’t sign a competent forward would be fully deserved.

His opinion based on what? The club have already done the opposite of what he is claiming will happen, plus if they were that desperate for the loans to be repaid we would've sold Clarke in January.

I'm all for opinions but at least back them up.
His opinion based on his opinion ‍♂️

Talking to everyone who's finding ever more inventive ways to have a dig at the club.

No matter who we sign, Browne for example, what stadium improvements, which players we give new contracts there's always a moan ...

... Poveda is an invalid, KLD is pocketing the vast profits, Speakman is hated by everyone.

It's a new season, I'm excited about going on Sunday, and can't hear mesel think for all the weeping and wailing.

It won't be long until there's a thread about the accounts or the state of the car park or how many f*cking seagulls there are <doh>

To be fair, there are far too many seagulls loitering around the car park like!
 
It's very strange how Speakman has become so hated, really is.

However, if i had to choose between him being liked by A) Talented players, who may become good enough for the top half of the PL or B) A bunch of people on chat forums who've never spent any meaningful time with him ... I'll go for Plan A.

It's not just the signings either. If people really believe Speakman and the coaches are so dismal how on earth do they believe Patterson, Neil, Rigg, etc, are developing, watching clips on Youtube? Why are clubs like Man Utd so keen to allow their players to come here on loan if the coaching is so dreadful.

But no logic or reason will change people's minds ...

... Speakman is the bogeyman and him giving every supporter £100 wouldn't change it.

"What does £100 get you these days, I spend that on a night out the skinflint" <laugh>
Probably in the minority, but I’ve been to a few talk ins with Speakman, and I actually think he’s a likeable bloke. We need a striker, he said he gets that and wants a striker. Not sure what parameters he’s working within, and why it keeps proving so elusive but I’d take him over a De Fanti character all day every day.

They've got X , SMB, Facebook etc where they can have link minded folk who are unhappy with the club, what they're doing etc. Why bleed onto this small forum as well. Does me head in. Plenty of other places

Of course he his. He's structuring the club professionally, you can see that by some of the roles that pop up. He's also hell bent of the Strategy and the people he thinks help to deliver it. That's what that fella at man u, formally newcastle Brighton England has done so well.
 
Every player we sign doesn’t have to have resale value though, the gems we’ve managed to pick up will more than cover the fee in the longer run. Bayern spent £90m on Kane, his value is only going down.
The thing is though, if he signs and scores loads of goals his value will go up imo - he has only just turned 30 and could still have another 6-7 years ahead of him.

Clubs in a brilliant place atm. The feel good factor is back. I’m really taking to RLB. Players look like they’re fighting for the shirt again.

my only ‘dig’ is we don’t have a senior centre forward. Other than that I’m really impressed with everything the club is doing and there’s still time for my one problem.
 
Personally, I think we'll have a loan in from the prem by Monday or Tuesday. My money would be on Mubama or Lankshear. Then we'll get Mendy at somepoint towards the end.
