Carl Sagan Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I'm delighted Frank has come out and said we have no money. Previously teams have seen us coming armed with Mel's chequebook and quadrupled the price. And boy have we paid the price. I expect us to buy a centre half and I think it'll prove a good long-term buy. But also I want the team to step up. We have quality personnel, but they don't all seem to realize that you have to win your battles before you can start expressing yourself. Frank has demonstrated the value of hard work throughout his career. His team needs to reflect that and out work the opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that was Alan Balls major bugbear as a manager. He couldnt get them to be as good as he was. No sheet Sherlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard our interest had cooled because we were quoted a couple of million, but I'm beginning to think/hope we might choose to pay it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
europia Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 4 hours ago, Penelope Pendrex said: Lampard has spent big on three players and only one of those could be considered anything like value for money so far. Yes fair point. Mel has again spent some big money. Waghorn for some reason is warming the bench. Evans not really looking a championship player. Our defence needs drastic surgery without Davis and again we have no controling midfield player. To improve noticably will require quite significant outlay, but I for one would understand if the chairman decided to keep the cheque book under lock and key.

Millenniumram Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Those comments irked me a bit as well, but more because it sounded like he was looking for excuses. Hoping he doesn’t go down the Nigel Clough path of blaming everything on money. I know he’s had to deal with some tight budget restrictions due to other managers fuckwittery, but he’s still managed to bring in a fair few players and given our starting position, we should be showing some progress in style by now. He’s hardly blameless for wasting money either based on what we’ve seen of the 2.5 mil josefzoon and his refusal to use the 5 mil Waghorn. Can’t be blaming financials, he needs to get a grip and start coaching our defence some basic defensive organisation and the rets of our players how to pass and where to pass.

BramcoteRam84 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 He’s telling it how it is to dampen expectation. It isn’t a fallacy, he has to sell to buy. He’s saddled with high earners who aren’t good enough anymore who need to leave to enable a rebuild. Rowett had the same constraints but still thought he could chase promotion with short term signings. Frank has made us competitive but with an eye on the future. He has a lot of talent as a manager, I’m sure he will go far in the game. If we still have at the end of his contract (2.5 years from now), we’ll be in the premier league. It could even happen this season though I’m not expecting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However we dress it up we have spent the third highest amount this season in the league- yes we had to sell to do it but we have spent about £15 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Why will FFP affect us more in future than now? Players are amortised over the course of their contracts, therefore why a bigger hit this summer than last? Additionally, the losses are calculated on a 3 year average so why will this bite us more in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
