I love these "people don't care like what I do".
If there's a model we need to follow then its the Peterborough one.
If your happy to settle for a club like ours to float around in the old 3rd and 4th devision scraping suvival every season then nothing. Personally id like a club who has owners with ambition, to provide exitement and the chance of a play off place or good cup run but under Sisu selling anything not nailed down and investing jack shit theres no chance of thatWould like to see a
What do you mean? They've been quite open in the fact that they won't invest and will look for the club to breakeven. Is a Crewe model that bad? They spent a number of years in the second tier despite having tiny crowds.
I think it's too early for Stevenson to go, both for us, for him and for Brentford but I understand that selling players is going to be a necessary evil in the absence of sufficient revenue to make it unnecessary.

Difference with the Peterborough model is that usually the players they're selling are ones they bought in cheap rather than academy products.
Does actually beg a separate question was the scouting system ever sorted out like Mowbray wanted? Weren't we down to one scout or something at the time?
What you on about, where did i say i care more than anyone.
It was the Thanks to Tim and Joy most are now settling for L2 standard and are happy to excuse very short minded people who do not care about you, the club or its history only its shell to be able to carry on this stupid game bit that threw me. But as you say you're not settling for it like the rest of us apparently are.
fair enough.Yes, I know. I just said that's the model we should follow. It has served them well for years.
It is happening.

News: Coventry to reject Brentford's opening bid of £500k for Ben Stevenson. Want closer to £1m + players on loan. More @IndyFootball soon.
£500k oh please!
Tell them £2.5 million please Tim!

@mark_buck33 Yeah I'm sure Stevenson will end up at Brentford, sides aren't too far apart on £.
Probably end up with 750k plus a couple of loans :banghead:
I have been saying on here for a long time the club is running a Crewe type model, its very clear and has been for a while. I have no problem with this plan just wish someone at the club would say it without spinning it as something else. The owners are running it as a farm to feed a business, not a business to help success on the field, this is done without any care about what is on the field. They are not concerned about the success on the field as long as they can put 11 players on a pitch to keep the FL from the door nothing will change.
Harries is the next one out the door, if not this window come summer he will be gone, the only good thing i can see out of this is we have a few good players that will be given the chance to progress into the 1st team and be in the shop window for others to start bidding. Stevenson will sadly not be the last and while some will say every club is a selling club, so its ok, others see it for what it is. This club is on a complete wheel of bullshit and sadly the fans are being treated like idiots and are asked to follow the piper because of the love and passion they have for the club. These are owners who are playing on the hearts and passions of fans, not to mention minds...
I have made my mind up about what the club means to me while its being ran this way, i want nothing more than a change of ownership, don't get me wrong you can still run a club very successfully club with this type of program. But a club likes our should be ran with an eye on the future on and off the field, not run with only eyes off the field and just rotating staff to pretend you are doing otherwise. The pattern is obvious, the rhetoric is obvious, we are running it like Crewe with the same ambition as Crewe which is the most worrying thought of a club that should be doing so much better.
Thanks to Tim and Joy most are now settling for L2 standard and are happy to excuse very short minded people who do not care about you, the club or its history only its shell to be able to carry on this stupid game.
Happy with loan players to come in to fill the voids every season then?We need to get as little money as possible. It all goes into joys handbag anyway
Right?
£500k oh please!
Tell them £2.5 million please Tim!

I'd be happy to pay Tim's wages with that deal, the same wage he's on at CCFC...How about 2.5million PLUS Tim for free
Then it's rinse rebuild repeat every season, which is why we are where we are.I don't mind it. Most clubs in this league do it. The key is getting the right loans.

You would want players that Slade has targeted wouldn't you, unless he has actually identified before the bid who from Brentford he wants and been trying to get.Last time we did this we got the Bournemouth 3 !! Complete disaster that was!

Last time we did this was Sunday. I think Reilly looks useful. And, Slade is a much better manager than Pressley.

Big difference between choosing from all possible players and picking from a selection given by a particular team though.
Frankly Id rather the cash and we spent it on another Jones or Lamerias who might come good than loaning some kid who is no better than what we've got because we are desperate to get the sale done.

Still don't think £1m is worth it. Seems to be what Sisu will accept for any youngster regardless though.
