Why not? He is Director of Football.

Other way round. People hate the owners so much they're reluctant to attribute any blame towards GB.

They won't have to run very fast.

Would you say Mowbray and Venus's recruitment was good? I'd say on the whole that was very poor as well but even they came up with Dack and Armstrong at bargain prices. Brereton also arguably. Broughton has made one very good signing. The rest of it has been incredibly poor. (So far)

Brittain certainly has been. Incredibly disappointing but I'll agree he looked an OK acquisition at the time.

So the Court hearing was postponed on the 23rd, the initial Wharton bid comes in "coincidentally" the same day, we don't manage to negotiate much of an upgrade and he's out of the door within seven days. We can move quickly when we want to.

Rather think she's got more taste than that. Beats me why people stick up for him. He has no previous experience as a DOF, his recruitment has been absolutely dire AND he oversaw the transfer window debacle 12 months ago. Seems as though because he isn't Venky's or Waggott people will gladly take anything short of Attilla the Hun in comparison.

I know....hence the maybe not.

Himself on loan........or maybe not.

Come on, he hasn't had a massive budget, but has signed THREE strikers who haven't scored a single Championship goal for us and blew the summer budget on Wahlstedt.

Steady on den. We'll have no common sense on here. That plan would give us the best chance of success AND give us some genuine hope to hold on to. Give yourself a stern talking to.

They're both as bad as one another, nowhere have I ever said Waggott shouldn't be sacked, I detest the man.

Won't happen. Is there real pressure on Waggott from anywhere to be sacked? Broughton will fritter away whatever money is allocated and we'll limp on, business as usual.

That bit's right, and this deal (if it goes through) has only accelerated that likelihood.

Given Dunn didn't really fulfil his potential Wharton "should" far surpass what he achieved.

JDT made a point of saying in his post match interview last night that he told the Club what he wanted in summer and they didn't provide it and we'd see if this window was any different.

The problem with the above is that if GB muffs up the recruitment again it's unlikely anyone will sack him and he definitely won't walk.

What on earth are you talking about?

Sounds like we couldn't get him out of the door fast enough.

But.....but we can bring another 4 or 5 in with the Adam Wharton money!

Broughton - he's not a mate of mine, why would I refer to him on first name terms?

If you think the situation during the last 30 years is the same as it is now then you clearly have no understanding of football whatsoever. In normal circumstances you try to achieve success on the pitch and to keep hold of your best players but occasionally they might want to leave because results aren't going so well. That's a whole different scenario to the plan being to flog them on the first place. And even then we've got a crap price because of the financial mess we find ourselves in.

Amen to that. Nothing more to be said.

Did you have to post that? Just when the day couldn't get any worse...

We've only had an overt aim of developing players to sell them on and not being bothered about results on the pitch since Broughton joined the Club tbf. Prior to that the owners clung onto our better players like grim death. Didn't quite work out with the benefit of hindsight but I prefer that in the hope of achieving success than simply existing as a feeder Club for others with zero ambitions of success
