Bailey Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 1 minute ago, Bailey said: Quick Google... It used to be two and it was opened up temporarily to three after Covid. I can't see anything that says it has ever gone back to two. A development... Players can be registered for three clubs in one season but they can only play for two unless there is an overlapping season (not relevant in this situation. So we were both right and yes our recruitment department are that shit... Albeit I imagine it is because they have no intention of letting Simms leave again, which would mean they aren't shit at all.

Exactly my thoughts, but we also knew we would be likely changing our manager back in November, seemingly no due diligence was done. Even “if” Gyökeres was identified a while ago…. Which should have been the case why have we waited so long? Clearly the Gordon money may be part of it but we needed a striker and that’s. Without question. we are a horrendously governed club and the pressure needs to be maintained on the board to be ejected. No accountability, no standards, pathetic.

If we had bought this lad for a fair price before selling Gordon then surely whoever bought Gordon would have had us over a barrel (knowing we had to sell for FFP) and they would probably have got Gordon for around 20 mill - which is still more than he is worth imho.

I keep seeing folks saying this, and I really don't get it. Why does anyone think this squad is better than the ones around us? If so, then why? Managers aside, most games over the last few years have been pretty bad and have only been getting worse. We don't have that much quality. I understand confidence plays a part in how bad we've been, but at some point we have to admit that this crop is just not that good. Even if we do survive the drop, we need some major changes to our squad. Trigger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our defence has obviously sputtered (keyword: had). Agree on the goalie, but that doesn't score goals. Our midfield is the best that WE have had in a while, but that doesn't address my point about the teams around us being just as strong or stronger. DCL is a strong, goal-poaching forward; that's literally all he is supposed to be good for. He's out of form, but who comes in and takes his place and is an improvement? I don't even think that one addition changes the fact that our guys don't know what to do with the ball in the final third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
