Thing is our recruitment does look poor and many on here have criticised the recruitment personnel. Why would it be any different in January?

Simply for balance - If we lose we'll be 9 points behind. We're 19 points off 2nd place.

Did I say that?

Because a short term contract extension gives the injured player one less thing to worry about during his rehabilitation and makes him grateful to the club rather than thinking that his employers are a load of bastards. In the grand scheme of things it wouldn't have cost a lot would it?

Not necessarily. If Burnley get relegated and Kompany moves on (pushed or jumps) then the situation changes.

It was hardly hysterical!

Perhaps not!

...and only 6 points above the relegation zone having performed abysmally against one of the teams in it. Still - don't want him out either, but you can take different positions using statistics.

That is the crucial thing. With all due respect what does Doug know about picking a manager (or anyone else at the club for that matter). It's a very rapid way to blow a lot of money in a short space of time (which we have already done once) because inevitably a new man/woman will want to...

Work is the curse of the drinking classes.

Last time I go on holiday and 'watch' a match on here. It can't have been as bad as you're all saying.

Ellis Simms.

Not sure we'll get a good cup run - Robins doesn't seem to think they're important.

Robins might want to play Godden because he's the joint top scorer in the league.

..... or not!

If we lose tomorrow you mean.

From our point of view quite possibly. From his, there were a number of clubs after him and why wouldn't he want his salary to reflect that?

No - It's a matter of negotiation.

It is true really. Ellis Simms would surely say to the club that if you're willing to offer £8m for me you need to back that up with a proper salary offer. He's not coming for 10K a week is he?

It's a possibility. However - If we ended up 10th he would leave for free and we wouldn't be as attractive a prospect for people coming in (and we wouldn't have any additional cash to buy). Not saying that's going to happen but it's all a gamble isn't it?
