Who's in charge

[Hove Ranger]

Think few fans forget we have to fit in with FFP, still have debt one way or the other, have massive overheads with reduced income but they still want more. They act like the Harry Enfield loads of money character the way they just want to spend spend spend

Apparently we just met FFP criteria last season (which came as a surprise to some at the club) but that was with parachute payments, the £10 mill from sterling plus the sales we made. If we are to meet the criteria this season then we are already down £10 mill compared to last season (sterling money) and I think we get less parachute money compared to last season so the transfer budget will have to take a hit. It comes down to whether it is worth the one off gamble and spending for promotion. if it works great, if it doesn't then we will get a transfer embargo next season and probably be doomed for a long while.

You know how JFH rates El Khayati to the point where he signed him twice now, but apparently he won't be given a chance XD. Then calling luongo out for not scoring, forgot that he's a deep midfielder? Forgot that he got 5 assists from open play last season?

How bout Chery? Did you forget about him? And Perch isn't good enough apparently, did you even watch us last season? And then you didn't even make any decent point about Caulker other than some dross about how you don't know his situation...

And then lets get to Doughty, you ask what he offers, whether he gets game time or not, I don't know, but he offers energy, Tackles and Goals (5 in 20 for Swindon I believe?)

Then the strikers, if Washington starts taking his chances like he did against Watford, he's a Ten goal striker minimum, Jet has ten goals in him when given time and it looks like he could be, Polter, should he be the main man, will get 15+...

And then Petrasso has become not good enough now... how would we know? We've not seen much of him but he's said to be promising so I'll give him a chance.

Point is, this post is dross.

Insider, is your head inside your bottle?? It's certainly not inside the club as then you'd know the severe financial restraints we are under and that Les, Hoos and JFH are doing an amazing job considering. Some of us need to realise we will paying for Hughes, candle face and uncle tones reckless spending for years to come. Need our support not pointless whinging
Come on you Rs

Whoever is in charge it has to be said that in their search for attacking options, they have failed miserably.

And to think our manager and dof were international strikers. Makes the failure even worse.

El #### is turd mate..... utter turd.

[James1979]

If I was one of the owners, I'd be using the sale proceeds to recoup some of my losses over the last few years. We should count ourselves lucky that some of the money if not most has been reinvested. It's managers choice where to invest.

El #### is turd mate..... utter turd.

Would you like to be referred to as 5hitman from now on?

I'm guessing that you'd prefer not to, so now might be the time to stop disrespecting our players by using insulting phrases instead of their real names. And it's not just the mod team that think so, we have had plenty of complaints about it from others.

After all these years I still can't understand those that find it amusing to slip the odd swear word in at every opportunity.

No problem at all with people being amusing. Big problems with people acting like 6 year olds having tantrums. Particularly when they expect to be treated with respect from those they continually offend.

[mrbourne21]

This thread embarrassing that opening post a proper spoilt tantrum just because we not signed a Iceland player nobody heard of in May and a Tottenham kid for 8 million.

If those fans read this they be pissing themselves

[Nick]

WHO?

Just a quick wiki search and these strikers average 1 in 4 at a worst standard than the championship

absolute Troll

Na not a troll, nore a tw4t, just someone whos not quite grasped what the club are trying to do. Wouldnt worry about it, he's not the only one..... He'll get it in a couple of seasons though.

[bakes8]

Whilst this is a hilarious tantrum I must admit to agreeing to the point that we really are in trouble in the Striker department. Any sort of loss of form/injury/suspension to Washington or Polter and we're looking at the Youth team........... And I aint having JET either, the lazy ####er.

They may change alligence and start following a club that spends bundles of money to satisfy their need to spend

[HertsHoops]

Of transfers!!!! Needs shooting. The balance of buying is shocking. We have struggled for years scoring but now one week before ko hasn't been addressed one bit. The suite owners go from one extreme to the other no balance at all. They go from over spending which I hated by the way to conference budget? Where's the balance we can still compete but they choose not to is a joke. I'm allowed a rant there's so many players out there within this shite budget we have to adress attacking options but they choose not to.... so we are stuck with one paced shite football with not one winger in site apart from unproven 18 year old albeit shows promise. Look at squad it's not good enough over a 46 game season at all.

Ingram good
Smithies good

Perch not good enough
Onuoha right back really!!!! Not good there
Caulker is he staying or going or in pub
Lynch good won't get game because of caulker pointless
Hall good
Bidwell good
Robinson never fit!!!!!!!
Kpekawa not ready
Furlong won't be given chance

Doughty what does he offer really?
Petrasso not good enough
Shodipo shows promise
Henry offers nothing apart from runs alot
Borysiuk injured!!!! Not creative
Cousins good but not creative 2 goals last year
Luongo good but NO goals last year
Khayati good feet toooooo slow won't be given chance

Washington good player can't score for toffee
Polter Good ten goals max!!!
Mackie injury prone finished at this level bless him

I m8ssed anyone of any significance? Poor squad sorry tell me where goals are? Poor dealing by management gonna be a real briefest of a season cheers les and co
