Tonights Meet the Gaffer

[Gillythedilf]

to get out quickly and get a massive sign on fee that's why

I would have done your question 1st

Tbh mate the question I was going to ask was asked 1st By someone else .Regards the unfit slow plodders we have through the team .

desperate for some proper pace/power and drive .Parky acknowledged that.

 

[arthursboy]

We have been slow, unfit and lacked physicality for years now.
It’s been a problem mentioned before which has still not been addressed.
We make the same mistakes year after year.
Then sign Leadbitter and McGeady etc as an example.

 

[MADBOB THE MAKEM]

They'd told him he was being sold was my point, no need to request a transfer in that scenario.

mate honestly the agent controlled the whole deal, I think we could have handled it a bit better, we had no chance of keeping him and it would have wrecked our wage structure, but it MIGHT have cost us a lot more, we will never know.

Charlie was asked a question about why he told the bloke on total sport that if he didn’t like it on a Saturday that he should go and do something else.

Someone stood up, off mic, and said that the people who have decided to do something else on their Saturdays can fuck off.Over 90% of the people there tonight are the ones who turn up week in, week out regardless of results. It’s about time the club stopped treating them and consumables that weren’t imperative to the running of the club. That we’ve been there no matter what, that even if they took us to the 6th tier and had us playing shields that we’d still be loyal. That the end of the pisstaking, that he promised to end, needed to end.

He was met with applause. I have no shame in admitting that person was me. An awful lot of people there tonight were pissed off and I feel like I vented the way many of our fans would’ve liked to.

My summary ;

Parky admitted the squad is slow ,unfit and lacks physicality .Desperate to put that right with 5/6 players coming in .

we have had no interest in any of our high earners from other clubs.

grigg is shot to bits.

£10m pound-investment is a loan to Madrox not SAFC .


coming away I feel more confident that the owners and the board can see the problems in the squad and are very keen to address it .I personally couldn’t give a fuck about the clubs finances/the free Leicester u21 game,stay away fans etc etc .
All that matters now is that slow unfit squad ,as that’s the only reason we are shit atm nowt else .Nothing matters except that in the short term.

There's a reason we have a slow unfit squad

Now where did I put my Bonnie Tyler CD......

There is ,poor training and diet,if rumours are true there is certain players on the piss aswell more often than not.
We don’t have natural athletes in the squad who are big strong fast lads .Have a team full of plodders like leadbitter/Maguire and so on who can hardly move .

I've a couple of issues with this, firstly dropping down to this level was supposed to be a chance to create a new ethos running through the club.

After all the talk of "piss taking party" stopping we are now told we have a "slow/unfit" squad (not the we need telling and can see that week in/week out)

On who's watch exactly were these slow/unfit players scouted and signed?

How much money (a lot, relative to this league) has been wasted on assembling a squad with little or no resale value??

I'm not as confident the mistakes will be rectified this coming window... what changes exactly have the owners put in place to make sure we actually scout and identify players that will improve us and get out of this league?

If their answer is Phil Parkinson then I fear we will be down here for a long time to come.

And there's a reason they cost nothing.

My gaffer talks utter shit !
Just saying lke ,

I just go to work and do my job ,

I see what goes on behind the scenes when I supervise in the office sometimes and it s fking pathetic!

My point is that gaffers talk utter shit and might aswell be politicians

Charlie said they have made mistakes in recruitment last January particularly.That window was a disaster,mainly due to having no scouts then .

This is where the problem is though . Donald ridiculed Gordon Armstrong for saying this. Now it’s the reason for poor recruitment. Difficult to accept anything that is said at face value

The same shite comes out everytime we lose a few games, the players aren’t unfit at all, people just seem to say this when things aren’t going well it we win the next 2 games they will be suddenly fit again

They are not unfit !!! Slow yes

but remember this was under Ross and the players loved the relaxed attitude he had, they are in for a shock with PP, give him 4-6 more weeks then judge

And Lazy then! very little off the ball movement, so if they aren't unfit then they must be lazy.

 

[pwsafc]

If people don’t turn up though mate, the club dies - that simple really. People aren’t turning up blindly, they are simply supporting the club.

People should turn up and support the team, this constant whinging about the owners is boring, if you people don’t like them then fine, but get behind the team, fans should back the team through good and bad times

Maybe that's why some of them liked him so much. If that's the case and they are now having to train properly and basically work for a living then it'll be why some of them have spat out the dummy.

FA competition gate receipts are shared between clubs and a percentage goes to the FA at higher rounds, so that would never happen.

You could if you allocated an appropriate proportion of the season card price for the ones that took it up.

 

[Chewit]

Absolutely criminal recruitment. We’ve lacked pace and power for decades.....

money thing everyone on here has agreed on

f***ing hell get him in the team never mind coaching

how good was the team he played in.

One thing everyone on here has agreed on


how good was the team he played in.
