Dicks future in doubt again

So don't sign them then. Clearly money is limited although whether anyone was aware of that seem up for debate. so prioritise what money is available on the quality players.
Plus improve the scouting set up a system for the club and sign players that fit it.
We signed Buckley last summer while Swansea signed montero that's the kind of difference.
No one can tell me Bridders and Buckers weren't Poyet's signings though. The whole idea of a DoF is to have continuity through players which is just totally failing at the moment. Either put all your trust in Congers and the current manager or get rid of the DoF and put your faith in the manager. I can understand why Ellis wanted the player continuity as we have had some bad signings by managers. I still believe we have some decent players at the club, I would love to know how other clubs appoint managers who can get the best out of whats available to them, doesn't seem to happen with us. Last time was MON in his first 10 games, we played some crackin stuff.
 
It will be fun on here :)
I wish it was finished with. I came home after three weeks of twelve hour night shifts hoping to chill out for a bit, I've had more stress in the last three days than I've had in the last three weeks :lol:. You'd think after forty odd years I'd be used to it, saying that like i think if I did get used to it and it stopped being important, then that's probably time to rap it in and take up croquet. :lol::lol:
 
Funny how Mr Short is never lacking the funds to fire/hire managers but he can't back them in the transfer windows.

Vicious circle which he isn't doing anything to rectify.
 
But it isn't quite as easy as that, is it? For example, to keep DA happy it may take £30m in transfer fees and £20m in wages. Should we commit to that and still go down what position will we be in? How many ordinary people will have to be made redundant? Will we be in a Portsmouth/Leeds predicament? Short has to balance these things and it's difficult. Everybody has a different view on where the balance should be found and especially fans who notoriously love to splash other people's cash about.

Youve hit a big nail on the head here. People are firmly advocating giving Dick big money to spend despite our financial predicament. What do they know about Dick to suggest he would spend it any more wisely than his predecessors did and which led us to this mess
 
If it makes short spend I don't care . I'll put it this way

a) got beat 4-0 on saturday & press have a field day with 3 defeats in a row & short sanctions 3 signings on the back of that result.

b) draw on saturday that makes short think that squad is good enough to keep us up and 0 signings, then few weeks later we get beat 3 in a row & window is shut and he can do nowt till jan window.

what do you choose, a or b.

I don't know how short ticks or if we would get them 3 signings as it been done in front of press, other clubs will put few million on price of player as its us.

I'm not having a ding dong on here about IF's & buts. :p

It's simple, you can theorise and speculate all you like mate but in any circumstances I think it's shameful that a supporter wants his team to to suffer a heavy defeat.
 
Dick should grow up and stop f***ing whinging.
He wasn't capable of picking a team to get a point and home from a newly promoted team for fucks sake.
He is also not filling the lads he has got with confidence with his constant claims they are not good enough
Shape up or ship out Dick

You're lucky I've just finished doing fourteen hour shifts, 7 till 7.
