Most liked posts in thread: Rupp We have learned our lesson

Still a lot of negativity on here... god sake take the guy at his word. He's said sorry for this season, he says lessons have been learnt & they move forward together. Yes there was no meat on the bones of how/why/where/when/Bratwurst but then again why would there be its an end of season bash!

He's saying the things that should have been said sooner but now lets damn well get behind the club & look forward and try and have a positive closed season!

 

No sign of additional funding to strengthen the squad.

“We don’t want to get any debts and overstretch, we can only spend what we earn.”

Hopefully the vast majority of what we earn will be on the first team if that’s the case ...

 

What lessons have they learned?

They still see youth as the way forward and want to spend what they earn - whilst this is admirable, what do they plan to do differently if they have learned their lesson?

Need a bit more clarity or quick actions if they are trying to re-engage wth supporters.

 

That will be Wyke sold on in the summer then

 

It's not clear to me what lesson they have learned. What do they plan to do differently now? I can only think it is in regard to managing fans expectations rather than anything concerning the way football is going to be managed.
Where does this leave Grayson now that Rupp has stated they will only be spending what they earn? i.e. a further reduced budget. Is there any point them continuing to talk about a new contract for him, if they are not prepared to subsidies the budget?

 

what on earth

 

Talk is cheap. We'll see if they have learnt anything this summer, where they will simply have to get it right

 

We have learned lesson quotes Rupp well Proof is in the pudding and I don' dispute buying young talent to sell on isn't a good idea but unless you are successful on the pitch it counts for nothing.

We could sell wyke for a million or maybe more in the summer but unless we sign proven players with the money we won'
Progress.

Whatever happens it's going to a interesting summer and I for one I hope I am eating humble pie come next season but it needs to change over the next few months big time.

 

Whatever we sell Wyke for probably won't be enough to sign another striker to replace him with never mind spending it on the rest of the team.

 

Yes well I aspire to watch a competitive team, when I invest in my season ticket

 

Never felt funding was the issue.

A coherent transfer policy, that allows for a squad with depth in ALL areas, not just some. That's what we need.

 

There are plenty of decent strikers available on free transfers, if you’re willing to pay the salary required to get them

 

Er... Kai? (Don't laugh)

 

Problem is, we've heard a fair bit of bull come from both Edin and Stefan, so fans are reluctant to believe anything they say. Like I've said before, lets see what they DO this summer and then we can see if they've learnt lessons.

 

Talk.
Cheap.
Proof.
Pudding.

 

I would like the club to try and get into a decent reserve league so that fringe players can get competitive games. It’s a big ask of players to finally get a chance of a first team spot after weeks with no football

 

Hope we have enough money in the wallet to turn the oven on.

 

Would be cool, and perhaps groundbreaking, if we could enter reserve/development teams into some lower league competiton in Germany. Forge our connections with our owners country a bit, and also get our fringe players playing competitive football.
Failing that, why not do the "parent club" thing, that worked so well for the Prem clubs (united sent a lot of players out to Belgium). Time for Rupp and Edin to put all this "racist hate" to bed, and do something positive with our European neighbours in the way of football
