TM accepts we are buying players for future


Nope the exact quote was ‘we want to be challenging at the top of the league. No one’s satisfied with getting into the playoffs’. He’s saying that we want to be right in the mix and we aren’t gonna be patting ourselves in the backs for just being there. At no point does he say that top two is our specific target. With a budget that is only six biggest at very best, he’s smart enough to know he can’t expect that.

Challenging at the top of the league….. is that not the top two now!! oh dear!!

Just remind me where Luton finished, what was their budget? Shall we all just wrap in now then and give the top two to the relegated teams.
 

So when someone raises a previous talking point of how serious are we in wanting to bring players to the club of the calibre in this transfer window to meet KS target of finishing in the top two this season, should maybe read TM quote from the above article.

Sign young players, develop them, improve the squad, sell them for significant profit, if a buying club meets our valuation, a plan which carries a huge amount of business sense. However for those of us me included with aspirations of promotion this season and a top two finish, I think this strategy makes it highly unlikely, given the strength of the Championship this season.

Let’s hope the Board don’t lose patience with the Coach, he is working with the plan and our supporters don’t turn on him if we aren’t in the top six by October….. sadly wishful thinking, just a bit!!

Prediction, we will sign the lad from the Ukraine, I mentioned weeks ago we had serious interest in the Chilean lad, now looks like he is being touted round for the highest bidder, the sale of Lihadji today may help 🤞
You know nowt.

As I say it’s late. You’re as thick as a castle wall and I’m tired. If you think Luton (who also didn’t finish top two by the way) ‘expected’ to finish as high as they did then I can’t help you. It’s only absolute simpletons who would put concrete expectations on things in this league. They’d probably be the type who’d post variations on the same single theme over and over too, btw. I bet even Leicester don’t absolutely expect top two:lol:
 
Put Sunderland AFC and our fanbase anywhere near London and we'd be one of the biggest clubs in England. London clubs won the lottery.
We have the fan base we do because of our location m, not despite it. Plenty smaller clubs support wise around London and in other much higher populated countries parts of the country too.
 
Great to see mags and their sycophants, trying to push over our apple cart, It's a sign they are concerned we’re on the rise again, and they don't like it, ignore the dopey twats.
 
Patience doesn’t exist

It's very clear you don't have patience. We've been back in the Championship for 1 season after 5 in a lower league.

Absolutely incredible that you can have such a sense of entitlement that you want owners to forego "business sense" and spend money that the club doesn't have to match your "aspirations".
 
He's more likely to lose his job if he is twisting in the Daily Mail all the time. KLD and KS may get sick, rightly, of that.
One thing that hasn't changed no matter who the owners are is managers/coaches complaining that they're not being backed by decent transfers.

Worrying that is such a recurring theme

Unless we get incredibly lucky then probably say goodbye to all the good players we find because footballers don't have patience either. I doubt Clarke and Patterson and Roberts and Stewart etc etc won't stick around just because we were in league one for years

He should be talking up the players we have.

Slightly better spin on it from Wilson I guess. And if I squint I can view what TM was trying to say in a positive light. However there are some incredibly clumsy bits. He really needs to be more careful.

KS interview in May is to challenge for the top two places this season and aim higher than a play off spot. My opinion is I don’t believe we have improved the starting 11 to achieve that, it might change by the end of Aug. You may think the side is good enough now, all about an opinion that’s all.
