adkins the clown and has to go

[Darthblade]

yes I was thinking as Coventrys third goal went in ending our season , the last thing I need now is a stray apostrophe in one of the threads
That will really grind my gears

I regret to suggest that our season effectively ended in about November ......

[BushBlade]

They go into specific details of our finances during these events do they?

And you're trying to tell me that 5 players cost £10 million? Seriously?

If the owners have put in as much as they claim then our overall wage bill could be that big. Or close.

 

[PeteBlade]

I'd agree that our overall wage bill could be that big.

I also find it hilarious that someone actually thinks we spent over £10 million on Billy Sharp, Martyn Woolford and 3 loan players!

 

[Darthblade]

strange how Wigan walsal millwall barnsley scunthorpe all managed to find some decent ones

Which raises the precise question ....... why couldn't we get any of the deals we pursued "over the line" ?

Could it be that there was never any intention from the Board to make funds available until the "big squad" had been whittled down ?

The fact that we've looked defensively stronger of late and we've been playing better since 3-5-2 came in. We may get Baptiste back, lets wait and find out. Still, we got him when the scouting network was put in place. Hopefully, this same network will get another player like him if he is not available. Teams have begun to latch onto our tactics but given Adkins' record of open mindedness and tactical changes throughout the season I expect him to mix things up soon. Whereas his predecessor seemed to stick with the same system whatever happened.

We will not get Baptiste!!

didnt have to though , a win at coventry and wed still be in it
and if scunny do make it we will be kicking ourselves for really missing out

 

[PeteBlade]

i was a vip guest for port vale match & i was told there that Adkins had spent 10.5 million on players wages, fees etc, i e hammond on 18 grand a week with Leicester matching it as well.

Just done some very quick and rough maths.

Taking away 500k for Billy.

That leaves £10 million.

Divide that between 6 players, even include a hefty signing on fee of 250k per player.

We'd still have to be paying each player over 27k per week EACH to reach this figure.

Think you've had your leg pulled.

 

[blade too long]

And how would you know this?

qpr paid 2 2 m for perch , according to london news

 

[United Aren't Back.]

So now season over time for adkins to go when barnsley were bottom of the league we was 18 points clear of them now we are going to finish behind them and he kept playing his poxy boyfriend sammon game after game and hammond his lover boy when clearly we as fans could see neither are good enough sammon and hammond should be made to pay for the renew of any season tickets for there garbage and utter pathetic performances

Adkins out and the board out to

Unreadable. Ever heard of punctuation?

Can't be sure but I think that's suggesting that figure for the player before Perch.

It's my bag when you guess at things because you think it backs up an argument of yours.

What was their outlay?

less than their sales , dont have to be a rocket scientist to work it out , plus the immense saving on wages, ousting 14 championship waged players
A 4 YEAR OLD COULD SEE THAT

As has been explained to you hundreds of times but you've either got memory loss or are unable to comprehend simple logic, you can't get rid of players if no one wants to buy them.

No out wants to buy them because they aren't very good.

Please don't make me have to spend another evening spoon feeding you.

 

[blade too long]

Hang on , I thought these players no one wants had improved of late , give Adkins a chance is your cry as its getting better
you seem to be saying hes managing to polish turds we cant sell

which is it

is he improving our useless squad or they are unsellable
your constant argueing both we have nothing but shite
then
its improving of late

and you say Im confusing

are you also saying of the 21 players Wigan offloaded , altogether or on loan none of those were as bad as some we have ,

You're confusing because you make no sense whatsoever. And I struggle with your grasp of the English language.

Our results have improved of late, yes (you'll have to take my word for it).
Does this have anything to do with no one wanting to buy most of the squad in the summer/January? No.
Has anyone tried to argue this point? No.

Do you make sense? Still, no.

 

[wizadry]

well Adkins said money was there, so again even if its less itys there

again what have Burton spent
what have Walsall spent
what have scunthorpe spent

they all probably would love to have had what we gave Adkins
but theyve managed to improve

Did Burton, Wallsall or Scunthorpe have the shit that Clough left, without Jamie Murphy? No

And Adkins is never going to say the money isn't there is he? That would be stupid of him and the board wouldn't like it one bit.

It was clear as day that he was told to lessen the squad and he was never going to be bringing someone in when the January window opened, for me we missed a real chance to get in the playoffs but I knew we wouldn't go that bit further when the board clearly feel they've already put enough in.

What I'd say is could that bit more money spent in January on either loans or transfers enhance our very mediocre squad so that we wouldn't be losing the same amount of silly money next season? I suppose we'll never really know but my guess would be at least give it a go and find out.

Just seen Chris Wilder at the Lane.
Watched the Meadowhall league cup final.

Puts BTL's "D" cap on;


"Crewe were promoted in 1973, why don't we do what they did? "

Seriously, it's the logic of a child. Unfortunately, he doesn't have age as an excuse, just rank stupidity.

If he's pulled his leg he'll hop into the first team squad quite easily.

 

[1danewhitehouse]

he was left a playoff .. semi final team?

minus J. Murphy, S. Davies, M. Doyle, B. Davies, I. Turner, J. Holt and with bugger all room in the budget for new signings.

 

[1danewhitehouse]

I wouldn't be at all surprised if we've brought in less permanent signings (2) than any other club in the division this season whilst losing our best player and other squad players. Can anyone be bothered to look it up? Has anyone brought in less?

It goes a long way to demonstrating the restrictions Adkins has been working under unless like blade too long you just pretend it was Adkins' choice to bring nobody in.

When we signed Billy Sharp, did anyone really think that would be our last permanent signing? If you'd been told that at the time and that Murphy would be sold too, would you have backed us for the playoffs?

dont think it was premeditated, he just stumbled into non action by focusing on several players who remained out of reach
with his experience he should have been more aware of the time and opportunity he was wasting
