Wendy's transfer strategy...

[Slim Man]

Discussion about the pigs is not welcome in the Blades section, like hunter?

Like hunting? Not at all - but it's a fair barometer of what people think.

If you don't like it, don't read it. Close this thread and don't open it again, simple.

The point of it is that they are doing what we SHOULD have done when we first came down here, and have failed to do since. It's not really that hard to understand.

 

[Jim Chimmerney]

Have I missed something, have Wendy been promoted ?

 

[Droppingwell]

Wednesday were 11th under Stuart Gray, have spent millions and shot up the league to erm....7th.

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Who is this Wed........?

 

[mosbolad]

Another fucking thread about Parson Cross fucking Rovers posted in the General Blades Chat section. If you want to post about these fuck faced fuckers, at least put it in the right fucking section.

Fuckety fuck, fuck, fuck! HAS SOMEONE POSTED IN THE WRONG SECTION!!!!!!!!

 

[Tezza1889]

If only we'd covered this before when wolves did it....

If you don't like it, don't read it.

But you've got to read it first to know you don't like it!

The whole point of having different forums for different subjects, is to keep some vague sense of order. It's really wonderful for you that you "don't care" where you post, but some of us don't want to wade through tripe about Wendy.

More importantly, the people who provide this site FOR FREE, have politely asked that we put posts in the right place. What about showing them some respect or "don't you care" about that either?

Surely today is Tuesday. I don't give a flying fig about 'that porkine shite', another example of someone who thinks they are above Linz in the moderating pecking order. Awful thread. Get yourself over to pork talk please.

General Blades Chat

"Match discussion, team and players - this is the on-the-field forum"

..so unless you're a closet snortbeast, this goes elsewhere. And challenging Linz is just the sort of thing a numpty piggy might do.

To me, they're basically gambling. Their wage bill must be astronomical. I really hope they don't go up and end up in financial disaster.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Oh look, another thread ruined by precious twats who think the worst thing in life is to see something posted in the wrong bit of a forum.

Cheer up everyone, some people have real problems......

They wont go up
Will they

 

[Sheffsteel]

Danny,

Wendy have achieved nothing.

It's like saying our board are fantastic because we're up there challenging for promotion EVERY year.
Nearly and almost don't mean anything. It's all about where a team finishes end of each season.

 

[Jehovah]

I kinda hope they do, because if they do, I will unleash a terrible vengeance and your face is odds on as the prime target

Signing the best players in the division, signing rivals best players and proven players in the league.
Even with a telephone salesman in charge has managed to get them to 7th...

Imagine if that was a proven way of getting promoted from League One. Nah, that's much too far-fetched.

Chansiri has nailed it in half a year and our board are still trying to find an extra few quid to sign another championship reject who wil prove to be yet another player on a downward spiral. Shock.

So, if someone stumps up tens of millions of their own cash and throws it at players, you're likely to win more games?

Unless it's us.

 

[wizadry]

There wasn't much difference between us and them for a long time. The only difference now is that they're a league above us and they're showing ambition, so in short, we're light years away. Fucking wankers!

 

[alcoblade]

Unless it's us.

Yep - I think we've actually followed the line being suggested previously - unfortunately squandering the money through bad managerial appointments and subsequent bad transfer policies.

But let's not get carried away with The Pork. Yesterday's man Gary Hooper alone is pulling something like £1,500,000 a year from them. If they go up it's a master stroke - if they don't, as the current stats suggest will happen, they are repeating all the mistakes we have.

The level of investment the pigs are making is precisely what I was hoping for when the Prince came on board. Unfortunately we continue to sell our best players and replace them with cheaper options.

Surely someone must be willing to come on board and inject the type of investment needed to take a big club like ours forward?

One thing that is clear is that we are going nowhere with the current Board. We are facing 6 years out of the top 2 divisions for the first time in our entire history but the Board don't appear to give a toss.

Not the worst thing in life, not by many a mile. However, when two individuals have spent many, many hours of their own time and no little amount of money to set up the best FREE football forum that's on the t'internet, the least people posting on it could do, is respect the way they want the forum organised and simply post new threads in the appropriate section.

It's just a modicum of respect. If they like a more anarchistic model other forums are available, alternatively they can put their hands in their pockets and create their own.

P.S.

This and other threads about them, now seem null and void. The big season ticket promotion of 'signing' quality players has already sunk, Blackman is signing for Derby.

That's one view. The other is that some people really need to get a life.

No it's the right view. If the forum isn't worth a few seconds respectful contemplation, do one AFAIK.

Fair enough, but as far as I'm concerned, the forum is better off without people who care about the exact placement of posts and apostrophe's, or even sadder the odd slip of an Americanism.

[Barney]

Wendy have it spot on unfortunately.

Don't understand why this is on blades chat though.

But as that is the way it's been set up, you're advocating the closure and demise of the forum. Foxy and Linz didn't set up the different sections just for shits and giggles, I assume they care about placements of posts, but you think they should do one!

I didn't say that though, did I. We're talking about the placement of posts with tenuous links* to our club. There's a link - but bigger for some than others. My conclusion - I couldn't care less. I honestly can't help but think "get a fucking life" when people pick up on it.

However, people can hide behind respect to the forum owners if they like, but it's often the ones who are also the grammar police. I personally find them intensely annoying.

*in this case, the suggestion that we should follow Wednesday's transfer strategy.

Not hiding anywhere, the respect is genuine as is the gratitude for the time, effort and money that goes into this place. Each to their own, but I happen to think that one of the reasons that this is the best forum around is because it's organised, structured and easy to find the topics you want. As it irks you, so it irks me, I just can't help but think, "show some fucking respect" when people dismiss the time and effort.

If you were so sure of your point, you wouldn't keep twisting what I've said to make it.

The OP was about us following Wednesday's transfer policy. It really isn't some sort of huge disrespect to the Forum owners to consider that as Blades related, even if a bit tenuous. Those who are affronted by an r being placed at the wrong side of an e might disagree, I'd accept.
