Phipps - no deals expected

[BeatleBlade]

You may be right. Not holding any hopes out at all though in terms of future spending (even on loanees). And fully expecting Done to be sold in January.

In saying that, we're motoring along quite nicely now. IF we have another Gillingham-type disaster maybe the purse-strings will be loosened but, if things keep on as well as they are in the league, I suppose the board could say (quite reasonably) that they don't need to spend.
I'm thinking now that they're taking a calculated risk.

Why would Done be sold unless he wanted to leave? I don't doubt that they tried to spend but they already had a planned budget set for this year (before Murphy) and I doubt that has been affected by 4 wins in the league, they are too clever to alter the budget after a few results because things could quite easily go the other way.

If you want to believe that the board is evil and doing everything that it can to stay in thisdivision, or worse, get relegated,then go ahead.
Personally, I don't and the signings, whether bought or on loan, of Championship players, Sharp, Sammon, Edgar and Woodford, plus the best manager we could have got, while also paying off the last one and his gang, show that they are serious about going up.

I dont remember saying they were evil
Dont be so over dramatic

I just think they are incompetent ,i think they have the money but dont know how to spend it

Maybe just maybe the players didn't want to come to Sheffield United of the first division.
Maybe they were Championship level players that didn't want to drop down a division
Maybe their clubs were asking for silly money because everyone knows that we have the Murphy money.
Maybe the player wanted a salary way above what we could afford
Maybe there was just no one available that would have improved the squad.

We can hardly criticize the board this summer, with the signingso f Adkins, Sharp,etc but just because we are not a part of deadline day madness, when clubs and players add 20% to their value and salary,they are liars.

Relax, this squad is good enough to go up

Regrettably; this current squad is most certainly not good enough to secure us automatic promotion !

Who is better? Not just basing it on players but also on the team spirit that Adkins has quickly built, which will be worth a few points this season.
Really can't see us not going up in the top 2 this year.

Being called over dramatic by you is funny, looking at all your over reactions.
Maybe they also have learnt how not to spend the money. Get sucked into the Sky created drama of Transfer Deadline Day, where the only winners are over priced/overpaid players and agents.

Interesting how when there's 3 parties involved when we are selling that thingsmoothly :-D

Yeah but in that scenario, you have a buying club who want to make a deal happen and a selling club that's already pulled it's pants down, bent over and got a tube of KY gel in it's hand.

Its not just as simple as who is better, its more to do with consistency in this agricultural division.

Baxter is probably the most technically gifted player in the division but he's completely ineffective in league games.

Ha ha, i understand your points. Can't see where I have changed tact or what is childish about them but maybe that is the simplistic way that you argue.

Very little tact ever shown from anyone on this website.
