I'll have whatever you're having!

That is a nice touch. Now AT, get him in the bleeding team now! Never mind this "Keogh and Cranie are our best pairing" tosh, we need a defender who can tackle, head and do the dirty work. I'm sure Jim is just as capable of passing it 5 yards to Sammy, who then passes it back, etc...

..if only we'd had a half-decent gaffer at the time, imagine what we could have achieved!

Was it from one Onye Igwe perchance?

Red and black looks great, especially if we go for a Blackburn-style halves or Flamengo-type hoops. That'd be pretty unique in the English league.

I can see it maybe being a 4th choice player from L1-L2 like Madine was, or a "no way near good enough" kid from the Prem like Lee Sawyer, at best.

Ah, well therein lies the truth of the matter: "as soon as other clubs come into the equation, we can't compete" as AT said last week. It's possibly a "we were never interested", possibly a case of us haggling over wage contribution/loan fee and being "blown out of the water" by a rival, yet...

I still honestly think that "he was first choice target" was just man-management speak to get Cody revved up. That it didn't work is because McDonald likes the burgers that bear his name even more than Freddy does! Where did you hear 100k? I thought it was 400k-the whole point being we could...

It doesn't surprise me-I said a few days back on here that it'd be strange to be signing a winger when we don't play with wingers. In a bid to further my campaign to win the Ian Holloway Metaphor & Analogy Award, I repeat my original comments: So..were we even interested in the first place?

He was linked in loan around July-August. Parkin wasn't an AT target though, no way.

We were kinda already debating this here: http://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/11893-There-will-be-lies...-sorry...-quot-loans-quot But to sum up my view, nah, utter crap as ever. Looking and actually being capable of achieving are two very different things. To admit we've been looking all...

Salako had a dead mans tendon by the time we signed him and had lost much of his pace. I don't ever remember Keane being that quick, either-he was just good!

I'll be devastated to miss it-I've made all the home games for the past 3 seasons despite the fact I work alternate Saturdays, and it's been very tough to pull off. I only missed the Palace home game last season, and that turned out to be one of the best displays under Boothroyd. Best I can hope...

There's a 50/50 chance I won't make it due to work. If I don't, just watch us win with our best performance of the season...

Ken Bruce?

It is kinda funny to see how full of hopes we were a year ago..but all the same, thread closed and spam removed! It's a shame our threads don'e automatically close after a months inactivity.

Job's a good 'un :D

So they could ultimately fold the club, so there's no point protesting? S'funny, I thought that was entirely the reason to protest. That's why ANYONE is better than SISU, as long as they aren't a similar type of hedge fund. I just wish everyone else could see what the ultimate outcome could be...

I think I'll strust what the manager says over that plonker, ta. And what did he say? "Once other clubs express an interest, with our budget, we just can't compete. Clubs like Barnsley can blow us out of the water". In other words, clubs want a loan fee +/or wage% contribution. We haggle or...

But I thought the SISU masterplan was to reduce all costs. You can justify doing that a lot more in L1 and L2. They must have worked out that if almost the entire squad is youth players, that will save enough on outgoings to balance out the loss in revenues. Not enough for us to be competitive...
