Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 It is precarious , aye, but not a lot to be done.Well technically there is, our manager could replace the players who have left with new ones. Two players isn't enough, the same way Aitken's squad of 17 or 18 he was wanting to run with wasn't enough. Not being able to fill a bench is amateur stuff and is putting ourselves at a real disadvantage, especially when we have injuries currently and will pick up more injuries as the season progresses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to finance and the time factor.We have very little of either.If we had the cash we would be in a better situ but alas we dont and that wont change in the next 8 days,Still im optimistic and fully supportive of the management and rhe players we have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's our own fault we've left it to the arse end of the window to do our business. We may will still sign the amount of players we need, but 2 isn't enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may will still sign the amount of players we need, but 2 isn't enough. 2 before Saturdayis what i heard possibly more before the window closes.More than likely 6 out with 4 in.(Little,Spencer, Mcgowan,Dowie,Allardice,Thomas).The quality of the signings will be crucial as the squad we have lacks that.The trick is for the manager to sell the club the best he can.Not easy when u r in our predicament. Cant agree with you though about it being our fault for leaving it late.That is out of our hands as we are well down the pecking order of attractiveness to players.Also Premier league loanees will only become available when their managers have sorted out their own recruitment.I think you agree that Januaary is not the best time to recruit.If i were to point blame it would be our summer transfer activity.Wouldnt criticize JD or the board right now personally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Scrotum Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 10 hours ago, RockMusic said: what crowd do you think we'd get if the matches were free? Let people in for free and charge on a decreasing, sliding scale depending on how early they leave? You could be on to a winner there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For any negative feelings or anxiety may i recommend one of Ivan Golac's Serbian cigarettes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without wanting to go over old ground, that wasn’t the ‘reason’. It was a factor but that’s all, several other reasons were more critical in his removal.Anyway, anyone seen Froxy at Morrison’s yet? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Anyway, anyone seen Froxy at Morrison’s yet?I hate to piss on the parade and burst the Froxy bubble but... he put an Instagram story on last night of him in a car and it wasn't being driven on the left side of the road. He's still in Greece. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGD89 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 It was driven on the left hand side of the road. He’s in Cyprus. Who drive on the same side of the road as us and have right hand drive cars too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) I started watching the Sunderland documentary on Netflix the other day (which is excellent btw). There were certainly some parallels between our plights. A striker returning to his parent club because he didn't fancy a relegation scrap, manager sacked after 10 games, facing a successive relegation, dwindling attendances, an owner who refuses to invest a penny...

Aye you're right, the two lanes made me think it was the right but aye, it's definitely Cyprus and not the UK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
