timeEd32 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 There is no other sport in the world where a manager/coach leads player recruitment. And in football, where talent can come from anywhere on the planet, it's even more ridiculous to think it would be successful. There is absolutely nothing wrong with our setup on paper. The problem is we're run by a cheap prick and we do most of our shopping in the bargain aisle with an eye on a purely financial ROI, instead of filling needs and reaching for that extra bit of quality.

Aye and we sell all of our good players quickly. We rarely give contract extensions to senior players. Just a merry-go-round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenige Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Richards coming from Man City would probably still want silly money and a huge signing on fee. And as others have said, I'm just not sure he has the brain to be a consistent top level footballer. Thankfully we're not really a consistent top level side and he can't be much worse than Willo. Would have preferred we didn't bin off two decent defenders to Serie A last year tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckard 13 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 So the local rag that wasn't invited to the interviews yesterday know how much the club will spend? Nonsense. We'll spend no where near that amount of money. What's the max we've ever spent in a window? About 25M? Richards is just Steven Taylor man. The lads 27 this month, has barely played football to any consistent level and is a moron. He's not a kid anymore who might get better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
