1) "We didn't know which division we would be in"
2) "The new manager didn't get appointed till June"
3)"Players and agents are all on holiday"
4)"We will utilise the loan market"

Anymore?

10) No-one in their right-mind wanted to come here?

UTB!

 

[Toronto Blade]

We have to cut our cloth (and throats) accordingly.

 

[Fiery Blade]

Nobody at this club has a clue what to do but hey we're all Blades aren't we?

 

[KenMcnaughtsNuts]

we only want to sign players who can improve on what we already have

(christ have you seen our team?!?)

 

[bladeinspaceandtime]

SCMP (i'm fed up of hearing about it now)
or
"Hey, we were after a few, but they all had the flu so we ended up with some dross no-one else wanted" or words to that effect.

We could look for positives?

 

[LA Blade]

5) FAX m/c not working!

 

[Bergen Blade]

"After securing the services of Robson and Higginbotham we had to let Harry and George go. In an ideal world we would have kept all four, but we had to balance the books."

 

[mekkyblade]

If clubs like stevenage and yeovil come in for our top players we're powerless to stop them

 

[Kenilworth]

We're shit and we know we are

 

[broomhillblade]

You're all a cheerful lot.

 

[Bladesman]

We could look for positives?

Good news is our fax machine is working again but unfortunately we ran out of paper.

 

[Living In a Fantasy World]

You're all a cheerful lot.

Yes we are today, I can certainly feel the positive vibe and anticipation for the up coming season!

 

[Bladesman]

You're all a cheerful lot.

Oh we have to make jokes and threads like this otherwise we would cry.

We have done enough crying over the years at Wembley already.

 

[bladeinspaceandtime]

You're all a cheerful lot.

Gallows humour.

 

[broomhillblade]

Ok - here's my contribution:

We'll lose every match next season 10-nil and end up bankrupt.

There, I'm feeling better already....

 

[davidpinder]

We already have the highest wage bill in the division

 

[TakeTheHighRoad]

We used the money for Higinbotham

 

[shorehamview]

We've been too busy watching lesbians wrestling in a paddling pool full of Alphabetti spaghetti to give two fucks about signing anyone or anything.

That's a coincidence. So have I.

 

[Fiery Blade]

That's a coincidence. So have I.

I didn't see either of you there!

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

I didn't see either of you there!

Who did you think the lesbians were?

 

[raul]

Margaret Clemence and Beth Jordashe.

 

[Grecian2000]

Margaret Clemence and Beth Jordashe.

When Winter talks about a different type of player perhaps he really means it this time.

A team full of Lesbians (obviously porn type lipstick jobs, none of this crew cut and doc martins stuff) is just the thing to get me to every game again.

 

[Bladesway]

1) McCabe couldn't decide whether he was chairman, owner or both.
2) The Manager couldn't find his arse on a dark night so McCabe started making transfer decisions
3) James Beattie had already taken a job with a better future
4) No ex blades would come to us
5) We are waiting for Warnock to return before we free up transfer funds as we didn't give them to him in our Premiership season
6) We forgot to appoint someone to sign off transfers to the board in the re-shuffle
7) In cost cutting we scrapped the fax machine and forgot to set up our fax to email service
8) Who said we needed any new players?
9) Our cup finalist academy players will be able to fill the hole left by the entire first team being sold
10) We have found a magic cat that can shit players, why would we buy them?
11) Our Nigerian investor turned out to not have any money

I could go on........

 

[Rodders]

...did someone say lesbians?

 

[super_pig]

If clubs like stevenage and yeovil come in for our top players we're powerless to stop them

would any of them make their first eleven though??
