Fair point but look what happened when we sold Beattie to Stoke. At the time we was doing really well in the league and Stoke were trying to stay up. Granted its more desirable for a player to take a risk by going to a premiership team than a championship team but it shows our club has always had the same philosophy under the current ownership.To be fair, both of those clubs could be promoted and it's easier to persuade a player to stay for a few more months during a promotion campaign. Especially if they're being courted by shit clubs like Bristol City.
I expect them both to leave in the summer if their clubs fail to go up.
Jim can't win here can he! Some fans say we don't hear enough from the board, and then when we do, through Jim in recent seasons, he just gets slagged off and he's too close to the fans! In my view Jim's a breath of fresh air, its just when things are crap, like they are now, Jim's suddenly part of the problem. He's the poor sod who takes all the flak in front of those that you never hear anything from. There the ones who should be having an interview explaining what's going on rather than hiding behind Phipps.
We'd already signed Henderson as BT's replacement.Fair point but look what happened when we sold Beattie to Stoke. At the time we was doing really well in the league and Stoke were trying to stay up.

Again when Beattie was sold we didn't replace him with quality. We brought a cheap couple of loans in and the board expected us to be happy about it all!
