What on earth is this thread?

Hindsight is a wonderful thing . I didn’t see one post on here complaining about the Grigg transfer at the time in fact it was the quite the opposite.
On the evening of that transfer window the consensus on here was that we simply had to sign a forward or the season was fucked . It’s been well documented that we tried to sign a number of other forwards but clubs had us over a barrel . Yes Donald has his pants taken down and he will probably be the first to admit it but he had to act and unfortunately due to his inexperience and obvious desperation , he fucked it up.

Agree with most of this.

I dont see what other option he had given the circumstances.

Imagine the abuse he him and the rest of the regime would have gotten if we hadn't signed a striker? ...Any striker??

Grigg was a bad buy in every way possible and it was a gamble that didnt pay off...

If he had hit the ground running and had the goal/game ratio of Maja we wouldn't even be taking about it now, would we?

whilst all of that us of course true...if the backroom stuff is woeking properly..it makes it much easier for the football department to get it right (they would have much more cash to spend apart from anything else)

....works the other way as well. Get it right on the pitch and people start wanting to be associated with the club.
