Playing Budget

Groundhog day.

 

Remi Oteh is at Salford with Bowyer.

 

With the stuff that's being said in the T&A maybe rather than an October statement the club invite fans to a meeting then present the information to our faces and take questions from the fans.
What do you think Ryan ?.

 

Depressing reading is that Steve, he's definitely digging his heels in.

 

Unfortunatly I can't get the full article as I don't subscribe.

 

Sadly, I feel fully vindicated in not buying an ST. Seen and heard it all before.

 

Hi free agents. We are in desperate need of a striker, is anyone available , money no option as we are Bradford city.
Hi free agents. We are in desperate need of a striker, don't expect a big wage, we have no money left.
The second is the statement i would put put out to avoid being held to ransom by players , who for whatever reason don't have a club in October.
We have had 4 home matches with approx 9-10,000 pay on the day fans @ £15 each on average approx £140,000+ in to the coffers.
I do not buy this we are skint bollocks.
The club have already said we get agents and players with inflated values of their worth, because of who we are.

 

Strangely i dont Dave but this article fully downloaded, things seem to be certainly taking a turn for the worse.

 

I'm sure someone will post it, the section I can read says enough.
Ryan needs to face the fans different stuff to what was being feed to us fans during the closed season we're well into our January business with regards targets etc.

 

Sparks is happy to be public and providing a regular voice when we're winning games. Now that the shit has hit the fan he's nowhere to be heard.

 

That seams to be the case, face the fans and invite the T&A to the forum where you can make the clubs October statement.

 

Tbf, he has been responding to people via twitter.

To me, there are 3 key questions:

1) How does out budget compare to others in the league
2) What budget was promised to Adams and has that promise been maintained?
3) Given our relative size when compared to others in the league, why can't we establish a playing budget and recruitment set up that sets us apart from the majority of the league?

We keep talking about being a 'big club'. Other clubs, when they drop to levels they shouldn't be, don't seem to make anywhere near as hard a job of sorting themselves out.

 

Many like myself don't have Twitter so he should be communicating on official channels i.e the club's website, the T&A, etc rather than responding to someone's tweets when there's 13,000 season ticket holders and many more concerned fans at our recent slump.

I think your number 3 point could be answered by arguing that we are run by inexperienced people i.e Rupp and Sparks, and whenever someone comes in who actually has a clue, Turnbull, we send him packing within months of appointing him. It's no such wonder the club is in disarray.

 

Your highlighted is bang on, generally Twitter has a poor name with regards many things I'm told (I don't do twitter) so why not do his communicating through official channels.

 

My point was he, and other players, have been available for weeks. It’s over a month since Angol was injured and even before the we couldn’t take our chances. The situation is worse now and we still haven’t signed anybody.

Forget Oteh, he was an example of a player that was free, if we were serious he’d have been signed instead of Robinson.

 

Yes he was available as signed for Salford on a short-term contract until January 2022 in September.

 

He's engaging on twitter to people who are engaging him.

Should clubs expect to hear regularly from their CEO? I wouldn't think so. Maybe its just me, but I'm not really arsed what gets said in public. I want to see us sign good players and produce good performances and results on the pitch. That's it.
