Funnily enough something we have in common with the Cleveland Browns. If naivety is the excuse here I wonder what it is over there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Lets not forget we have had a net spend these last couple of seasons. Our problem has been the fact that we haven't been able to get transfer income for the players we've had to shift as nobody has wanted them as they were such poor choices by the various managers before Lambert. We've had to get rid of so many, that we've had to get lots of players in on a tightish budget, but it is still a net spend. Hopefully if Lambert is given the same again soon he can start to look at quality rather than quantity. That, along with getting the wage bill down below 50-60%, seems a very clear plan to me and we are doing pretty well so far IMO. I think those who believe Randy has just given up and doesn't care any more are just being a little too pessimistic and we need to wait things out for another couple of transfer windows before giving up all hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Was we well run under Ron Bendall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) If we had of bought a load of players like Platty, McGrath, Laursen ,Neilsen, Mellberg,Yorke, etc. we wouldn't even be discussing how the club is run now. we have had some very good times on the field, when the club was not been run that great. I go to watch a football match.....not a balance sheet. Edited December 21, 2013 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mart-L7 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Wish he would just sell up I think he's mugged everyone off with this buying youth in, slowly but surely he's turning this great club into a laughing stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 I want to see the back of him. He has overseen us become a plodding bottom half team that will flirt with relegation each season. Must go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchard Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Needs to honour his promise to sell up if he can't make it work. Won't happen though. The money is more important. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
