Transfer Rumour thread

Its not a guarantee but it certainly helps a lot

 

“Wanna buy a footballer boss?”

 

Oh so you have a breakdown of the 2m debt then? Please show us all it.

Why do we need to borrow money? Thought our owner has money??

You making out like a football club is a normal business.

If you want to run it as a profit making business then we will get no where fast!!

 

I certainly wish some of our signings had been lucky lucky. But instead, as mentioned, things are starting to drop off. Some after just 2 weeks of being signed last month - so its not just Rahic buying off boat people.

 

Chucking money at something never works

Having the right people recruiting players etc is always a better formula within a budget. Whether that be multi millions or an average budget

 

That's not Abbott

 

Seriously are you on some wind up recently!

 

No? What’s your point? Chuck money at it and hope for the best?

 

I agree entirely. However you may have the best driver and the best team of mechanics but you won't win formulae one in Ford Metro. The same way my mum wouldn't win the championship driving a McClaren. However I expect an average forumla one driver could win driving the best car, but not vice versa. However there are the odd occasions where the other teams cars crash or break down (Leicester) I think that analogy works

 

Yes, as @Dennis explained it's the only real way of getting out of this league.

However, the owner needs to be able to cover it.

If 2m is a problem then we stand no chance but this we must be debt free is a load of bollocks.

 

Agreed the signings under Hopkin haven't been ideal, but we have to remember, the vast majority of players who were available when Rahic was assembling the squad aren't available in or leading up to January.

The pool of players is far, far, far smaller.

We can never judge Summer and January windows the same - most players are under contract by January.

 

Too many use the Jan transfer window as an excuse for failure.

When Hopkin came in he said he wants deals done before the window and that didn't happen.

Players can be found in Jan and brought eg Ball.

We decided to spend a lot on Payne then waste money on Clarke. Plus wages on Anderson and O'Connor.

We would of been better signing Ball then splashing out on pointless back up players.

Of course a bigger pool of players available in the summer but we messed up in the Jan transfer window make no mistake about it.

 

I agree.

It takes a good blend but ultimately everyone has to buy into it and trust each other. Manager and board

 

Sign ball, two get injured then what would we do in Fordys masterclass in transfer window management?

 

I don’t need to read it again once was bad enough like with 99% of your posts. If you’re wondering why we got Clarke and Anderson it’s because they’re cheap and couldn’t afford anything else. Why is that? Oh yes because we have garbage like the two you mentioned and defend for some reason, on ridiculous wages who aren’t good enough for this level. Who’s faults that I hear you ask? The idiot who bought them, just checked and it wasn’t Hopkin. Edin Rahic killed the club, if you want to know why we are scratching around for rubbish that’s why, he’s made us rubbish.

 

Get over Edin Rahic.

Didn't here you moan about him when @Ricc was stating Edin would ruin our club.

Parky left straight away, McCall was moaning, owners on the pitch promising the earth, Wembley team break up, signing rubbish with Abbott, Mason leaving, sacking of McCall, hiring of Grayson, hiring of Collins,

The warning signs were there and you didn't do anything but live off your cheap ar&e season ticket.

Yes, Edin damaged our club but he isn't to blame for Hopkin playing dire long ball, seeming clueless and buying utter shi&e in the Jan window.

 

Did more than you all you do is lie on here, considering you never actually comment on games and just moan and comment about Jason Thornton I’d be shocked if you actually go at all.

 

Afraid he is Fordy. Once the vast, vast majority of the budget has been spent on a pss poor squad and there's very little left in the pot you are in serious trouble. Once you are stuck in the bottom 4 with only a few pennies to rub together the January transfer window is always going to be crap. It always is. Beggars can't be choosers.
