In regards To Buying Players

[ollyhoops]

I think the problem is how they executed the idea and running of the club, that was where it went wrong.

You have to install a manager with experience who has won promotion with teams, then you have to back him with the players he feels are needed to build a winning team. -That has not happened, we've had 6 1st team coaches and a squad of players who play as a squad of individuals....

Your right in thinking that most championship sides would pick a number of players we have on our books as they are in fact very good, but they just cannot seem to play together for us, something is wrong within the team/club which needs to be sorted out sooner rather than later.

This is not by any means a dig at Magilton nor am I blaming him as I think he has the ability to be good coach but if we loose tomorrow and display a really poor performance then I fear the worst come thursday.

Simply put we are the only side in the history of football who get billionaire owners and the overall experience for the fans gets worse.

We may have a slightly better team on paper, but the entertainment and results are both very poor.

The biggest reason for this is the ridiculous 4 year plan. These blokes should have come in and steam rollered us with a few decent signings. Chopra, Ched Evans and the like. Instead they have come in and tried to do things on the cheap, skimping here there and every to try and sneak up. I cannot see any sense in the slowly slowly catchy monkey theme.

People quote that we do not want to be a yo yo club but if we buy the right players and get a proper manager then we will not be a yo yo club. Simple really.

Expectation levels raised by our owners coupled with the fact they have alot of money means naturally any football group of football fans would expect alot more than we are getting.

Add in the cost of watching such dross and the complete unbalance in the side and you have your reasons why people aren't happy Pete.

We didn't raise expectations they did.

Exactly. All this slowly 4 year ****** is a way to stall having to spend money. Anyone with a chickens brain cell knows you can't make money owning a football club.

we had 11,000 turn up on Saturday and many are making the point, we were the lowest in the championship, should we be asking to spend on this and spend on that, is that not irresponsible? Part of building the squad is to make it cost effective and don't think the club have made a loss on players. We might grumble about the players, but millions have not been spent. Or should it have been?

We've not sold out best players despite interest from other clubs (apart from Blackstock) and whilst we have the lowest crowds, I don't see many clubs with our kind of attendances, that have the calibre we have on the pitch.

Look, I'm cheesed off but our expectations maybe a shade too high. Though, it has be said the attitude of some players leaves alot to be desired. I'm Not seeing blood, sweat and tears and a committment to get stuck in and take the game by the scruff of the neck. We are playing well beneath our capabilities, which is very disappointing.

Blimey O'Reilly, we have billionaires in the boardroom, even if we had gates of 5,000 and they splashed out the necessary to get the very best players possible, we could quite easily walk out of the championship and into the premiership. Foolham did it, and the way things are plodding along at Loftus Rd, we could very well see little Notts County race past us in the next couple of seasons. Gates will increase with success, not without it.

"I'd rather Borrowdale to Delaney"

Pete you really think borrowdale is better than deleaney?

on top of that Deleaney was the only player last year who stood up and said that the players had not done as well as they should have done.

Fair play to him for saying that. It's what all the fans were saying and look what happened to him!
