Charlie

Maybe they did and he got a better offer at Oxford

 

Change of manager, I’m surprised that he didn’t follow Alexander to Salford though. He’s a perfect candidate for dropping down for more cash

 

That was fabulous !!

 

It didn't make sense at the time and looking back it still doesn't make sense. We don't let one of our players go to a competitor we were told, yet during January I don't think he played one single game for the club, and by then the rot had firmly set in, just what did happen with that comment we don't sell to competitors, either Edin doesn't think Sunderland are going to be there or there about's OR he doesn't think we are.

 

Keep up, Dave !

I think Sunderland are playing Monopoly based upon using a host of 'Chance' cards !

 

Apart from anything, the majority of success in football comes down to budget, sadly. But apart from that, I'm saying with that squad we SHOULD. That would then be the judge of whether he's up to it or not (because you have zero evidence to suggest he's not as it stands)

 

To suggest he's not? He's 33, 0 experience, poor youth team record, brought in at the last minute when nobody else would take the position. Will any of that do for you or?

 

I agree with your analysis of Collins, however do you think that Greg’s input will be crucial? Can’t remember when he said it, but he did say he lacks experience but would be discussing anything he has no experience of with Greg. The collegiate way of managing is new to football and has many advantages, but everyone has to be clear about what they are bringing to the table.

 

No.

 

Yes as long as we've got Greg abbot we're going to be alright. Thank god hes still here

 

Well it should.

 

Well it doesn't, none of that is evidence he's not a good coach. I'll let results on the pitch inform my opinion, rather than my dislike of the current regime.

 

Well if he wasn’t I would be seriously worried.I am not saying he is a fantastic manager, I don’t think he is, however he does have skills and knowledge which can be utilised by Collins and Drury. This may work, I am sure everyone wants it to work.

 

For a start there was little or any money involved and I think we weren’t prepared to let him go without a replacement. Wyke was a diminishing asset and Sunderland were only one of two or three interested

 

He cannot be that bad a manager Onside he did not do too badly at Carlisle- his teams in Div1 did not do too badly until the year of his exit. It would be on a fairly tight budget too. Yes he did let Wells go but that was probably due to him having to keep more experienced strikers over him

 

He was injured

 

Sorry Chris I'm lost I thought I was answering @Park bantam post about Tont McMahon .

 

Yes you were. I was just posting in reaction to the final statement, in which you also mentioned Sunderland.

 

There was a fee involved no matter what it was Edin could have got rid of a bad Apple were told, and as for a replacement full back we had Hendrie at the time and also the kid Hanson who we paid a fee for, who turned out to be a disaster on the day at Yeovil.
Yes the situation with regards Wyke was different his value would decrease as his contract ran down, lets just hope its not Charlies goal that are the difference to us getting a play off place rather than Sunderland.

 

So was Charlie but it didnt stop the deal being done :thumbsup:.
