Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I would have made him train with everyone else and used him in Shit Cup with Premier Reserve teams for the short term. Make him train for his money. I suppose not having him at all is almost as good.
 
Anybody know how paying bills off a player counts towards FFP? Is it just ignored meaning we've actually freed up a decent chunk of wages?

Sean Thornton - can we capex the compo to Hammond over a couple of years meaning our budget for this year is increased more or not, not sure financially how it could be swung in our favour other than it would have cost us 600k over the course of this year but now it will only effect the budget by 200k (completley made up numbers, have no idea what he was on)

No. All we can do is register a surplus to budget on wages assuming Hammond agreed to take less than he was contractually entitled to. As his contract was only 1 year long it's all in this year's numbers.

Shambles from start to finish and symptomatic of the complete lack of planning at the Lane.

Sean Thornton you're welcome to correct this!

The way I read the club's statement is that the contract wasn't taken up.
 
The whole blame on this affair should lie solely at the feet of the employee who sanctioned such a contract.
If he/she is still at BDTBL, then those who appoint should be held to task. Why?

Signing on at BDTBL is like being guaranteed six numbers on the lottery, then all they'll need is the bonus ball.

I'm wondering if it's more like the money used to pay him off would have been otherwise used for new signings.

No way! Are you suggesting that, by the Bolton game, and with most of the fanbase at each other's throats either blindly defending or outrightly condemning club financial policy, the board might make overtures toward the reason we haven't signed anyone and confidence is rock bottom is because we (sorry, 'we', I mean McfuckingCabe) has had to pay off expensive acquisitions and bollock-brained purchases? I mean ... when has that ever happened in the past ...

Welcome to the Wilderness Years, part ten.

we seem to have a severe cynicism problem at the Lane
No matter how we make efforts to move forward , some really are unprepared to see any future
The men who used to wear placards outside the ground with THE END IS NIGH on , look like eternal optimists by comparison
Its like Leicester winning the title never happened
or Wales getting to the euros semis
both were never ever going to happen, but they did

It's like someone just presses reset in June and wipes your memory isn't it ?

Right back to square one again

Mate, can I ask how long you have supported this club?

Because the past 10 years of this club have been nothing short of a disaster in terms of the club operations. The money wasted over a sustained period, the abysmal managerial appointments and sackings, and the almost annual transfer drivel that is repeated year on year is the reason for cynicism in my view, and it is completely justified.
I had a spell where I was prepared to give the board a new start when Phipps and co seems to be running the show. I hoped things had changed and we were going forwards, but less than 2 years later it was clear very little had changed, and we are now back to where we were when Weir came in.

This isn't doom for dooms sake, it's well founded and well considered as far as the club is concerned on my part.
I'm going to bet that Wilder doesn't last the season.

We are starting from square one
whereas you think we are just carrying on from Adkins

square one is the best place to start from, not living in the past like some who just wallow like hippos in a pool of misery

I've said before blade too long,your wasting your time taking on these negative fans.Anyone can see we are trying to build afresh with a new man at the helm (Mr Wilder). If the club was quite happy to flounder as we have been! Adkins and Hammond would still be here.Paying off Adkins, his coaches and Hammond will have cost at least half a million,is that what a club would do if hit had no ambition! Get real you negative blades, Mr Wilder has come in to do the business let's all get behind him he says players will come in, I beleave him so let's make the Lane a fortress again,even last season we would have gone close with fortress Bramall lane.
 
I don't believe I'm a negative fan, but I am a realist. There's lots if talk about what will and won't happen and I'm happy to sit and read both arguments, it's quite entertaining to be honest, but it still all boils down to the fact, none of us can actually support these arguments, because, we all know fuck all about what's going to happen! If any of us did, we'd be winning the lottery every week and buying the players ourselves!!! All we can do is take a deep breath, sit in our seats on match day with sweaty palms and an increasing heartbeat, in the blind hope we take the points.
The facts are, Wilder promised us that significant action was being taken and we would have signings in the next week, this was 3 weeks ago wasn't it?, and still nothing, so surely we can all understand the frustration.
Some of us will have the patience to wait and hope it happens, some of us won't, and want to know why it hasn't happened.
At the end of it all were all Blades, we all want the same thing, it's just a matter of how we get there.

Oh dear Finlay, you're not blabbering on about the supporters again are you?

I thought you'd broken that habit!

How many years have we been in this division, remind me...

of course criticism is allowed
but how can we criticise before the pre season starts
I get accused of starting again at square one
but its a new era , new manager board relationship
new players, , 2 so far more to come
how can we have so many fans starting from square minus 6,
Chris has ousted a truck load of inadequate players in his first month
Its been a positive start , not that youd think

Well, let's get a few things straight, it was a positive start. It's been rather down hill from there. It all comes down to whether one believes the clubs actions so far this pre season deserve criticism.

Lack of transfer activity being the main one, the fact that it's so obvious an inadequate budget has been issued, the manager telling supporters different things every week and on and on.

You obviously don't think that's worthy of criticism, there are many that do. And for the past 5 years, those people that do have been the ones getting it spot on every year, not the pie in the sky cloud cuckoo residents.

lack of transfer activity , its july the 3rd
how imperative is it that before they hand out the freshly laundered training bibs , we have to have 8 players in
Id rather we get in 1 every 2 days over the next 10 working days
I will join the moaners chorus if we havent signed or are about to sign at least 3 before training starts in earnest at la manga

we did not have to get any business done in June, just to appease some panic stricken fans
much rather we muse over the players we get in , not panic buy any old shit
 
Barney said:
Is it any wonder
Click to expand...

its because Adkins was so bad at bringing players in , Chris got it bang on last season
lets try and see, in July what happens

all the majority of signings in league one are clubs signing released league 2 players
the majority
do we need that level of player ,,,, really ,,,, really
havent we just waved ta ta to a bus load of cack and out of panic some want numbers in now rather than care about what we get
 



Isn't appointing a new manager "a fresh start", "a back to square one" scenario?

How many fresh starts have we had since the PL?

Nobody can truly say that the "new manager" has carried on the legacy of the previous since....
