  1. What number did it reach on the Bristol stool scale? 1-7 with 1 being pebbles and 7 being a Popadpolous, ie a gush of unformed arse gravy with no discernible substance......
  2. Let's bookmark this discussion. IMO it hasn't been the budget but the strategy at fault and which needs to change. I don't buy that the strategy pursued by Warne was the only one or even the best one for the available budget.
  3. Are you talking over the moodhoover mantle Curtains? Stop being so miserable and cheer up!
  4. Indeed any budget is by definition restricted and so given a chunk was used in the summer, January was going to be a residual. I wasn't intending to pounce on your post, but a number of comments have been made about EFL restrictions, which hint at hopes of a future material uplift. I am merely questioning that really is the owner's intent. Managing to the budget has to be the responsibility of all. We appear to have done so poorly imo. I understand that some players are not Warnes signings but he's been playing them nonetheless, rather than shipping out. It's the recruitment gambles and injuries which are draining the coffers as we're getting zilch for all the outlay. The lot of them need to up their game significantly.
  5. So when the owner made his statement that he thought we had a competitive budget, do you think he was naive or duplicitous? If DC believes that the budget this season was and is "enough to get out of this league" then why should we expect it to suddenly step upwards in the summer? Surely it's the utilisation of the available budget that's the issue here?
  6. Jeeeez ......what....a.....list. Looks like the cast and cr3 for
  7. And the EFL disputed it by bringing in their own expert who compared him to the 17 year old midfielder playing for the Torquay United 3rd team, as they're "just the same"..
  8. I think Mr popadpolous will be on soon to accuse DCFC of vastly inflating Max's sale value through some accounting trickery.......
  9. Judging by some of the old jollop we got last summer, should have kept hold of the purse strings then as well.....
  10. That's the spirit! One more go at recruiting for a back 3. Warne works hard, the recruitment team all pull together. DC smashes open his post office piggy bank and we finally reveal.... Phil jagielka, Matt Clarke and the ghost of Bobby Moore...... Roll on those long summer days.....😉
  11. Last time CKR was a kind of mentor for the young kids. He'll be able to reprise that role with the early 30-somethings....
  12. I cannot begin to comprehend why.....
  13. They play in the Western League Division One......would hope for a bit higher for Birdy tbh...... https://www.wellscityfc.org.uk/
  14. Ah, but we've met (albeit virtually), s you know it's just a big load of old front. And underneath....
  15. Is everything going terribly well..... ....or just terribly?
  16. I read that BBC had coverage of 10 matches, but I don't know which ones.
  17. Come on Curtains....you don't believe Warne picks his side based on likely fan reaction? That's preposterous...... For a start, he'd never be able to please everyone,so he may as well please himself 😉
  18. Could be either. But with losses of what, 7m so far and counting, I wonder how much on top of that David clowes is prepared to put up in the event that the EFL withdrew any/all restrictions? We're losing a lot whilst a number of voices are saying we can't pay fees....
  19. The financial results posted elsewhere suggest investment is being made, but don't show in what. The alternative, that those losses are operational hardly point to sustainabllity. David clowes is also regarded as a shrewd businessman and putting those pieces together suggests solid foundations. Each piece has to deliver though. The recruitment has underwhelmed so far. The academy is not likely to punch it's weight without commitment to showcase the players in the first team to attract offers or identify solutions for our team. Needs all the pieces pulling in the same direction. Not convinced that they are atm
  20. Now that looks like a decent side with some potential. If they get some decent tactics to work with.
  21. Indeed. And how did Jedward end up in goal? Is it that nobody can chip them cos of the barnets?
