SAFC will never fulfil its potential again if we continue to sell our best players.Under the Drumaville/Quinn leadership there was a determination to build a club again by retaining the best players unlike the Murray years.I feel we have gone full circle again.We are in danger of becoming a feeder club again to those more successful.established clubs under Shorts stewardship which will eventually lead to relegation struggles which is happening and is a recipe for disaster

He can't and won't leave and nor would I want him to either, I disagree with things he does but he's running the club.

We needed quality before the summer, didn't get it, sold our 2 better players an still didn't replace them either. That's the real travesty here and the reason behind our struggles. He can't leave though

And exactly why can't he leave with all the profit that he has made ?
 
Maybe the plam is to go down and try and rebuild on the cheap gettin rid of all the players
 
More important than ever to stay up. Fair few of the shite out of contract, it'll be the difference between replacing championship shite for championship shite or for decent premier league players on sensible wages.

Did you not realise that the SMB accountants take into consideration the sales of Bent, Henderson, Gyan, Sess and Mig yet ignore that fact that we had to buy 4 of these in the first place, as well as buying, loaning and free signings of so many players over the last 5 years.

cant believe how naive they were in letting us bring in 14 players whilst asset stripping the quality , he is an intelligent man but has made one major fuck up with the current debacle , we have the only billionaire chairman that is skint
 
Ins and outs are on par so theres no outlay
Sky Money ?????
Concert Monies ?????
Sponsorship deals ?????

This summer was absolutely crucial for us and it looks like we've fucked it up big time.

Loads of us were saying all summer that this year of all years was not the time to stop spending money. Massive cash windfall for everyone to strengthen their club, which most have done, and we actually ended up losing our best players.

Can't sanction the Short Out brigade, but he has royally fucked up this year and its going to take a proper bloody shift in fortunes to get us out of it. Needs to spend a bucket load of cash in January if its not too late by then.

At least three sets of accounts that show a loss of around £75-£80 million between them..operating expenses in the last published set were £26 million more than actual income...

And that's just off the top of my head...

Correct. But you are wasting your time, marra.
