  1. A forward thinking CEO with nous would have offered some incentive at the Newcastle game knowing it was a guaranteed big crowd with many part timers and knowing how important the league games now are. A 10% discount voucher, a free pie or pint, a free scarf ! Absolutely anything to offer a bit of incentive to get a few more through the door. They are useless to a man down there and couldn't care less, instead punting a 5 game package that barely 100 people will afford to commit to. I'm sick to the back teeth of these imcompetent buffoons stealing a living the only thing important now is getting 3 points and trying to get as much help as possible from the stands.
  2. Hence the idiots all over SM saying 'great window' in Jan and 'JDT got everything he wanted' We have some of the games daftest fans.
  3. Aside from promoted coaches and Appleton every manager Vs have employed has been unemployed having been sacked elsewhere. Tomasson bucked that trend having stepped down himself after winning two Swedish titles and was looking around for his next venture. They have reverted to type having yet again learned no lessons about anything but the prospect of relaunching a young coaches career, then maybe getting compen for him in 18 months time, i'd say is probably the driving factor behind this appointment not the impending spectre of a real relegation fight. That's how stupid they are
  4. Correct but not sure what it has to do with my post on Sam Gallagher.
  5. Even on transfer fees as suspected. They've never actually 'invested; anything to try and win promotion it's always been a case of the club just soaking up spare profit from VH group to keep the lights on. What benefit it has at their end only a forensic Indian business expert accountant could say.
  6. No, he'd be struggling badly this season also and spouting the same old crap. The Eustace early days are mirroring the early TM ones and both scenarios have been created by incompetent chiefs and the need to sell good players to pay the bills.
  7. We scrapped a point playing shite at Cardiff, that was a positive. We haven't managed it today despite a good second half because weak play by the usual suspects gave us a mountain to climb after 10 mins or so. That's a negative, where you negative on Tues ? Actually don't answer i can guess.
  8. I haven't come around anywhere pal Any manager needs to build his own team in his own style with the time and budget he has available. He like anyone else coming in has to work with what he has right now and that isn't much. About time some finger pointing was done at the players they all suddenly turned into trojans when the cameras were here but within a few days they are mice again. He needs time but we need points right now so yeah not looking good but the Appletons vibes are more to do with the guy himself and the scenario hes walked into. We have to remember that he had a load of tripe as well but he did have Jordan Rhodes. So, sorry whatever i said 2 weeks ago still stands.
  9. Not for me to defend them but they were under no obligation to keep the budget they did other than owing it to the fans and club employees to try and get back up. As always it was probaby the one or two of them who do actually take notice who listened to some right advice for once.
  10. Gallagher has had one of his bad days today but previously hes been playing well so lets not rewrite history every time he has a stinker, he really isn't alone and never is. He is what he is. Main issue is there is no one to take his place when he's struggling or injured and we know where the blame lies for that, they brought in a 23 yr old German B level striker who can't cut it and was ill today anyway. We know where the blame lies and it isn't big Sam.
  11. Of course they had a choice they could have moved them all on don't tell me for one min Graham, Mulgrew etc wouldn't have found a new home quick enough. Rovers then were just basically an agents vehicle they'd have had a field day if they had the nod from the owners.
  12. Eustace is on the books of Wasserman who haven't had anyone in here in a while i don't think ? Anyway massive agency with a massive set of players on the books, a hell of a lot of non entities from all over the world worth a few hundred grand or so. I wonder if that came into the thinking when employing him, prospect of a catalogue full of cheapo players !!!
  13. We defended like tigers in that game, took the one chance we had and the keeper Jake Kean turned in his one and only world class performance out of thin air......
  14. I was thinking Mowbray mk2 but he's nowhere near as experienced as he was but yeah there are more Crappleton vibes with this fella now.
  15. That's the way i see it, they weren't fazed by the risk and aren't that fazed by relegation that's why there has been #### all urgency this season with anything. Shoulder shrugs all round, the people at the heart of it keep their jobs or are retiring anyway, in India it won't bust their business and will actually save it a few quid. No fucks given.
  16. I think the saving grace there was they were all well paid players so even with the relegation reduction clause written in their contracts they were happy to stay as they got it back in a promised promotion bonus. Waggot won't have had the brains to write that in contracts hes overseen plus all the above and one or two others were too good for league 1. Not sure we can say that this time around about many of them it'll be more like finding their true level so big problems ahead unless they could reinvest sales into a first time bounce back attempt. And again this is Waggot who instead will budget the money to pay bills, tell the owners we don't need much from them and safeguard his own position.
  17. We were always more likely to head to league 1 under these lot than back to the Prem and so it came to pass. Since bouncing back it has always been more likely we'd drop back again than even challenge the top 6 by May and so it'll come to pass whether it's this season or next or the one after. Next time though it'll be a long hard old slog to even get back into the Championship. There is only ever one way out of this doom cycle.
  18. Waggot will just trot out the tired old line 'when a Prem club comes calling' etc etc
  19. We are running a league 1 budget right now that's why we are where we are. Almost as if it was intended because even those idiots running Ewood knew the risk.
  20. I always think setting out to sit back for a draw is asking for trouble but setting out to protect the 0 but showing some intent at the top end is justified. If anyone knows what i mean. Anyway i'd snatch the hand off for a point or three however they might come but still think we need to score first.
  21. I'm sure it would have leaked before now if players hadn't been paid. Maybe he's just a bit crap with money like a lot of them are.
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. It looked like the Burnley game last season but with 5k more visiting fans in the DE. I see no issues with the crowd figure at all it's just a pity it wasn't on a Sat at 3pm where we'd have been looking at 25 thousand plus.
  25. He was a top goal poacher of his type but he was a pretty crap footballer anywhere outside the box, so definitely not fit to lace Shearers boots.
