I think Quinn has ****ed up big with that statement.

Far from enticing fans back, it suggests a future lack of ambition, when the club currently is showing the complete opposite.

If it's a ploy to get bums on seats, it's a horridly misjudged approach, and if it's the future of our club, then i'm staggered that they'd do 80% of a job, asthey are both winners.

I guess it's the former.
 
TBH i've never actually heard Quinny come out with that statement, i know it was in all the press but i'd be inclined to reserve my judgement until i hear it for myself at the upcoming talk - in's.

If he has made that statement then i'm in agreement with BB, misjudged and mistimed and not doing himself any favours.
 
Despite everthing we are told about what Niall says or doesn't say you have to remember we sold Bent because he wanted to go but we still brought in Sessegnon for 6mill. That doesn't seem like a club in panic or in a financial crisis. The roadshows with Quinnn should be interesting and at least whatever is said will come directly from the horses mouth. Think the key to it all is where Ellis Short stands and how much he is prepared to keep putting in. I understood part of the big plan was that Ellis would put in funding to clear debts and provide money to build a squad that sustained it's premiership status and then progress to become a force pushing towards the top end of the league. As part of this big plan I also was under the impression as the club progressed it would become less and less reliant on Ellis Shorts money. Of course all this is dependant on securing more revenue from other sources and therefore building our global image. I haven't seen anything change from that plan just a lot of people seemingly getting very jittery

I agree with your views on that.

I think Quinny has made an ill advised statement, which could, and to a minor extent, has caused panick.

The press have been all over it, and it makes us look a less attractive proposition for new signings.

I'd love to get to one of them roadshows, but i ain't cancelling my holiday for it!

I want a word for word recital from someone!
 
23 goals in 22 games with bent, 11 goals in 6 games without bent(premier league) do we miss him? £24m for bent was a very good deal for us and imo doesn't show lack of ambition, but not replacing him with anybody will sadly cost us of our best chance of qualifying for europe since winning the f.a. cup

Anybody? I, for one, am absolutely delighted that he didn't. A Stoke reserve for £3 million? Sheftali Cookie?
 
if we end up finishing 9th or 10th which is possible, many will state the fact that we should have signed a striker, i for 1 wouldn't argue.

Torres, obviously! <doh>

Anyone we'd have bought would have been a panic buy, so it's more likely that it would have been Tore. Andre Flo. Also, have we been lacking goals since bent left? No - we've started shipping them instead!!!

it's just my opinion we should have signed someone, who is a good question, maybe pav, rodallega, doyle, piquionne, dempsey, fuller, elmander, yakubu, vaughn, boothroyd, i don't know who but anyone of these would have been welcomed by me and many others i reckon, it's just my opinion which i'm entitled to and i stand by it
 
We wouldn't have signed Pav for anything less than an extortionate fee. If we leave it till the summer we might get a good deal, but I think that Bruce's decision not to sign anyone for more than they're worth is paying off. Only a few more games now.

And you are right so to do!! And I stand by my entitlement to disagree with you, and looking at some of the names you've mentioned, that reinforces my belief!

well if 3 points from 4 games including losing our last 3 is paying off then i stand corrected, just hope i'm wrong

We already have. That's the whole point of a forum, mo. Sometimes we agree, sometimes we don't. On this one we don't. On others we will!!
