Takeover Rumours

Take your point but this sounds very similar to the ‘cup final, third in the league with two games in hand’ line that was used last season.

If I was to criticise Stewart Donald, a lot of people would rush to his defence and say he’s saved the club and invested more money into the club at this level than anyone else has before; that we spent more money than every other club combined last season. With that in mind, there then surely there has to be a lot of criticism aimed at Ross for underperforming with the squad that he inherited and with the resources he’s had available to him since he arrived?

I’m not calling for Ross to be sacked at this stage. However, to use the line you have just used to defend him is to completely gloss over the inadequacies and limitations of the job he has done so far. We are shaky at the back, we often look disjointed, we very rarely dominate games and our wins are predominantly attritional, we’ve drawn too many, our discipline could be improved and there’s very little evidence that the squad he and the recruitment team have put together is anything like good enough to compete at the level above should we be promoted (despite so many stating that relegation to this level and a reboot would be good to rebuild a squad and playing style to have a proper go again in the future).

So, it’s Ross stay put for me but he shouldn’t be given the free ride you’re seemingly willing to give him.
That is a key point - last year we were always chasing and always had games in hand. When it came to the crunch Ross bottled it. If we follow the same pattern this year we are not going up. We need to be top two and stay there. We need to take teams apart and we seldom do. Winning ugly is all when and good but eventually we need to start playing well.
 
Where are we at this moment in time?

It’s irrelevant talking about signing players who haven’t played in the championship when we aren’t f***ing in it.
I'm not talking about other teams players players though. Win our game in hand and we could go top, hardly " scraping into the top 6 is it? 😂

And I am. That’s the entire point I’m making. People saying we shouldn’t sign someone because they’ve never played in the championship when we aren’t even in it is ridiculous.

And ? it was woeful under BSA a lot of the time so what’s the point of getting him in. The sun never broke the takeover story. Plus read the article it’s total bollocks as it says Ross will be in charge till they get promoted to premier league then Sam would come in , what a load of made up rubbish

It was less woeful under Allardyce than it was under the vast majority of managers during the last Premier League stint. We were largely organised, hard to beat and after the January we had a smattering of quality all playing for the manager to actually make us look like a decent side.

It’s also worth baring in mind that that was two levels above where we a smaller fish. In this league, the expectation would be to a bit more dominant in games against some fairly poor opposition and we very rarely are under Ross.

FWIW, I’m not saying sack Ross and bring back Allardyce.
 
The attention seeking on this thread man. :lol:

As if a bunch of ugly virgins off a message board are privy to information on multi-million pound investments. :oops:
 
Article in Sunday Times speculating the the continuining fallout from the Alverez case may be holding things up

Has that not yet been resolved? Talk of Dr who gave all clear re Alverez dodgy knee being sued by club

I know we were a lot better organised but just didn’t really enjoy watching us
 
Not having a pop marra but do you really believe that we will bring in the players to guarantee us promotion considering the alleged restrictions with FFP, or God forbid the takeover doesn’t go through, then we wouldn’t be spending money anyhow.
With careful planning and the right people running our recruitment I certainly think it’s possible.
