So 12 hours on a bus ain’t going to help. If it takes the bus 12 hours to get to Swansea, the bus is knackered. Even Ribblesdale coaches would have made it in less than 12 hours. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as O'Brien etc etc If I wrote down our strongest 11, there would be 8 players in it who were already here when Broughton came, and that's despite Wharton and Travis leaving. The head of non recruitment would be a more apt title. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other head of recruitment does that? Fleck was low risk signing on 5 months contract. Let's not overstated it.

GB wasn't in charge of the paperwork with both potential signings problem. Only 1 people at the Club can send it. Why no blame for him?

tomphil Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Likely being on 10-20 grand a week for 6 months Fleck isn't a cheap punt at all it's yet another stupid gamble on a guy with no recent history of being match fit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHRover Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Fleck will have been a deadline day panic after selling Adam and realising that offloading Travis was insane. So they'll have looked around for easy deals to do, in this case a bloke never playing at Sheffield Utd and out of contract soon, ticks a lot of boxes. Happy to come here until the summer to try and get game time and match fit, no obligations beyond that, effectively a loan which is the way they like it here. Everyone happy. Sheff Utd get rid of a wage and place in the squad allowing them to put money elsewhere. He gets an audition here and much better prospects of game time and we appear to plug a self inflicted hole in the squad until the summer. Suspect we aren't paying his full wage, probably he's done a deal with Sheffield to go early. Takes a lump sum pay off and we pay him the shortfall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomphil Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Again, shoving Travis out as with Buckley because they didn't want better earners on the bench has proved totally counter productive both financially and football wise. Clown show. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasta Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 16 hours ago, chaddyrovers said: Fleck was low risk signing on 5 months contract. Let's not overstated it. We were in a horrendous slump in form and hurtling down the table. We then decided to sell our best midfielder which left the manager pitifully short in midfield. Fleck was the only person subsequently brought in as replacement / cover but hasn't been able to play any worthwhile minutes at all. I'd say the business of selling Wharton and replacing him was Fleck was pretty high risk given the situation. However, I would balance that out by adding McFadzean has proven to be many times better / more useful than I thought he would be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
