The players on the transfer list....

[zablade]

......some of them are going to be in the squad on matchday one aren't they?

 

[FTPE]

Some??
You mean you're planning on a few of them retiring?

I would hope we would be down to picking the tea lady and grounds man before we select Hammond for a match day squad.

I expect we will see Coutts and Woolford still making the bench.

Only the good ones.

Do I have to ask the obvious question....

Think 'Bobby Ford'.

[AdamSufc1997]

better off paying most of them off

 

[Ecco1889]

I don't mind if CW can get player ratings of 7-8 regularly instead of the 3-4 from last season
If we can replicate the Bradford home match form,that'll get us out of this league
Matt Prestridge gets players fit,week in week out
Knill is a highly rated coach
If CW is half the man motivator I think he is,a few astute signings and we're good to go

Making the bench ? I have heard that they are both as useless with a drill and a screwdriver as they are with a football.

...hope so mate...just been hearing this line for the last five ( ten?) or so years...

 

[SwissBlade]

Someone like Kieran Wallace will either get picked up early or work his way into Wilders plans. Can't see much wrong with that either way

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Yep that shithouse who runs the club has basically told Wilder this.

By the way have any of those splay footed bastards we released signed for anyone yet?

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

The inevitable "Cloughy in for one of his former players" rumour's finally arisen, in Kieron Freeman's case (from the ever-reliable HITC).

He seems to be the only one of the Shamefaced Seven who are even attracting spurious rumours.

WHF? Is that you mate? Where have you been, we've all been worried sick. What's with the new moniker..?

 

[Grappler]

......some of them are going to be in the squad on matchday one aren't they?

I can imagine some of those of those players, sat with a smug grin, thinking "ha ha, Wilder thought he was clever getting rid of me, but I will have the last laugh", for example it could be Coutts thinking "no doubt Mr Clough will be phoning me"
......a few days pass.....
"no doubt Mr Clough is busy, but I am sure he will be calling me, then I will rub Wilder's nose in it"
.....a few days pass...
"hmmmm, no doubt Mr. Clough is on holiday, he may call me from the beach, but let him enjoy his time off with his family"
....a few days pass...
(shouts to his wife).."hey love, have there been any calls while I was out?, no?, is this phone working? it is?, ok what about the answer phone? are you sure?, well can you call British Telecom anyway and ask them to check?"
....a few days pass....
(phones up Kieron Freeman) "hiya pal it's me, Couttsy, listen, have you been contacted by Mr. Clough at all? you have!, did he mention my name?, are you sure?, I don't get that, no doubt I am next on his list"
...a few days pass..
(phones up John Brayford) "Hiya beard pal, it's me, Couttsy, listen, I know you are still at SUFC, can you do me a favour next time you are at BDTBL?, can you nip upstairs and see if Mr. Clough took that fax machine with him?"

Couttsys phone as rang several times but unfortunately he was to slow to get there in time to answer it

 

[FriethBlade]

Wilder needs to make sure Hammond is in the squad for the first home game so we can all let him know what we think of him

 

[Darthblade]

......some of them are going to be in the squad on matchday one aren't they?

I certainly hope not ...... Tufty can send them a clear message to find a new Club if he refuses to pick them for the matchday squad ......

Do we still have a tea lady? I see her mentioned every year as potentially getting in the team but surely no business still has them? Mind you, I suppose if we still have a fax machine, we've probably got a tea lady too.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

......some of them are going to be in the squad on matchday one aren't they?

I really hope not, but I think you're right. Fresh start, my arse.

 

[BusheyBlade]

She not only makes tea but unplugs the phone line and plugs in the modem whenever anyone wants to get online. I think she also renews the dial up internet connection each month by phoning to wrangle yet another 30 day trial.

It's probably why we miss out on all these signings, she's a training putting out the cones whilst someone at the Lane is trying to use the fax machine but it's connected to the internet instead of the phone.

 

[Harry's Game]

No we've replaced her with a teabag on a string, it hangs in the dressing room and is replaced once every two months.

Sadly, he'll be thinking "I know I'm wank. This stupid club broke the bank for me so I'll have to milk it for all it's worth until the gravy train dries up".

Prepare for a few more ponderous performances before Wilder witnesses first hand that he can't run or tackle, followed by him being paid up.

Like I said on another thread Alco, I heard from a decent source that it looks like only Hammond will be paid up, which is why CW mentioned him personally in an interview.

 

[Jonboy60]

If we have got to wait until the right players come along, I would rather put the kids in for a couple of matches,
Rather than fall back on the ones transfer listed.

I suppose there's no point paying up contracts, unless a deal can be struck. There's always Twats like Clough around who are happy to squander other people's money, so you never know.

Exact;y, it's a poker game basically, I assume we have offered a compromise package of a reduced pay off to incentivise players to walk away.

Just did, need therapy now.

He'll be at home, walking the dog, or taking the Mrs shopping. He won't be in the squad.

Newcastle signed her on a 2 year with the option of a 3rd, we let her go for two bob and a mars bar.
