Did Pompey sell anyone yesterday ? there was talk of 2 going to bring them £1.5 mill. If they didn't then they are in the shat, although there's talk of them getting their final instalment of their parachute payment in advance about 2 million if allowed but there's doubt the football league will...
I do think there needs to be some sort of statement from the Hoff group now. We have had talk of there being talks soon, articles in the local rag about ownership and finance from the ever smirking Fisher yet not a dicky bird from the other party.
Players comings and goimgs is the managers job, no-one elses, how much they get paid, contracts etc maybe someone elses domain. Just puts doubt in my mind just how much Andy Thorne is the first team manager or just keeping the seat warm for another.
If i thought a new manager would create the new boss syndrome and win us a few games i would go with giving AT the boot but i don't. Might aswell go with Thorne until our fate is known and decide where we go from there, you never know we might have new owners with squillions to spend on getting...
Brought in to help Thorn with all his signings are Sir Alex and Roberto Mancini that difficult to deal with we have to employ someone to recruit, believe the appointment was only until end of Jan anyway. Not a bad little earner for a month or so i should think.
People seem to be very subdued today if you talk Cov. City to them, I think yesterdays defeat snatched from the jaws of victory has had a bit of an affect and the realisation that the worst is likely to happen. After the lift of the Middlesbrough win but the fact there are'nt going to ge any...
My sentiments entirely, championship is too expensive for SISU and don't even dare to mention the Premiership. I read on here some time ago our weekly wage bill was £70k get in the Prem and that would quadruple. minimum
Thats too simplistic, doesn't help fuel the rumour mill, i'm saying there may have been bust up on the coach and someone threw something at him and he dropped it !!
Strange thing is the sales of Turner, Gunnar and the Juke only raised about £2.5 million, not a lot in the mad, mad world of football finance. Those three plus King and a couple of loans and IMO we could have been challenging, which fuels my belief the last thing sisu want is promotion.
Seems to me there was enough experiance on the bench to do a job, makes me wonder if there are other reasons for not playing them, and why did Murphy go home alone last night ?
Well if we are 1-0 up with 10 minutes to go and away from home something like 5-4-1 and probably a Wimbledon in the 80s approach to be honest, we get tired and stretched at the end of matches, just look at the stats, if you are able !
Can't understand why this consortium couldn't fund a couple of decent loans in the short term, there's wealth there and wouldn't cost millions and if sisu turned an offer to do so down would realy put them on the spot with the fans.
Lets not exagerate the restraints, they don't help but are not the only reason. The diamond system ain't working especially away from home, just look at the table.
