NG32 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I really hope they are relegated by the time we play them again, will be a fun day. It will be an epic fail if they are gone in Feb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHoob Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 They are such a pointless club. And they know it too: http://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/the-biggest-indictment-of-safc.846074/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkeye Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I just had 10 minutes going through their Pewer Football forum, my god there is some shit in there.... On one of the topics someone was going on about Poyet being the third manager to tell Short that the squad isnt good enough, what has he done about it? Nothing! Or words to that effect.... Jesus, he has backed every single manager with huge sums of money to improve he squad, it is hardly his fault that every manager has brought in similar shit to that shit they already had! It is no surprise that Short has appointed someone like Di Fanti to oversee what the manager are spending his cash on considering the waste they have brought in to date. Seriously, without big hearted, thick headed, Ellis Short they would be so far down the pan by now. All that would be left would be some fading skid marks......

wormy Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 It's strange that their biggest gripe is that they need a new overhaul every 6 months. You'd think they'd start to question Short's managerial hiring practices ahead of it. There's clearly a more fundamental issue than 'we've got shit players'. It's all well and good backing your managers, if you hire the right managers who don't buy dross every time. How Short still feels the urge to waste his money is beyond me.

Their manager can't do any wrong ever though, until they're sacked and replaced of course. Then they were dogshite in the first place and the very reason the new manager now has a mountain to climb..

Unbelievable Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 To be fair, Short is getting it in the neck on RTG recently. They spent 153 million on transfers in the past five years, or nearly 50 mill net, putting them 8th in the nett spend table. His decision making is there to be questioned, but they cannot complain they haven't been royally backed by their owner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst mindlessly throwing money at a problem will not solve it, neither will stopping to spend money. As I said, the can have no complaints about the way Short has backed them, and every managerial appointment they have done has been greeted with a nod of approval, even their DoF/Udinese model was. Their problem is they are just a nothing club with a culture of failure deeply ingrained in them, and long may it continue. The day Short has had enough is the day the will slump down the leagues never to be heard of again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
