We sold Spence 19th July, just how much more time did we want? That’s almost 6 weeks before the window closed. I could understand that argument if he went on deadline day.
Again another one not able to have any sort of discussion on Gibson without resorting to that. Let’s just ignore the last few years and where we are now and pretend everything’s ok
What has that got to do with your post 462?
Season kicked off 30th July we’re not in a position to compete with newly relegated team.. in that we can’t go toe to toe with them on everything. We do think and work differently, progress can be keeping our head above water.. bringing in money for players. Bringing in coaches and staff from outside of the club.
Post 462 in response to you suggesting we are in a decline from 15 years ago in Europe to now.. propping up the championship.
Who would that be zzzz?
The window was open until the end of august though, that’s no excuse for not bringing a player in.
462 was a daft response.
Which player?
If we don’t get relegated it will be progress from Wilder
The alternative is relegation in this case.
He made it clear he didn’t want to use Fry, Dijksteel, Forss, Hoppe and any academy players. Poor man management imo.
Wilder talked the talk but didn’t walk the walk
It’s a structure with limited financial resources. We will always risk losing players to better financed clubs.
Backwards from when? or is it the obvious and therefore redundant point that from 7th last year.. we are now in the relegation zone.
The fact that avoiding relegation would be progress surely shows just how far this club has actually declined
From when? We weren’t that far off from Woodgate.. if anything we’ve stagnated. Before that HUGE mistakes in recruitment have already been accepted and acknowledged. We can’t keep using that as a stick to beat the club with. 15 YEARS WE’VE BEEN IN DECLINE
But why not spend it when the 'war' started? It is harder to do business in January as a rule and you have to pay a premium to prise away players who are performing well.
Depends on what players and the circumstances. The wheels can quickly come off a project when you find you’ve got a manager trying to jump ship. These ‘must have’ players become a bit more of a concern.
You flip flop so wildly and are so tangential in such a short space of time, I don't know what you ever really think.
I think Gibson is doing the best with what he has. I think Wilder was a bad egg and I don’t think his failings reflect those of our club. Yes, we need to progress, I believe that has always been the intention, but it does have to be within our means and sometimes you roll the dice and it doesn’t pay off.
