Or allowing the club to invest its own money. Aye that was spot-on. It was all pure gold. "Won't leave until we win something". Unsurprisingly Craig didn't ask re his rationale. Whole thing was a fucking joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At best that suggests we might employ our same s*** league form in the cup games instead of being extra s*** in them/dropping players. Glory be. It's just his latest soundbite, a la "I take the message and will therefore sell the club", "We can challenge the Manchester Uniteds of this world", "We're undertaking the Aston Villa model", "Hang on, it's now the Arsenal model", "The club needs to wipe its own nose", "I will put no more than 20 million pounds a season in" etc. Paraphrasing there but he obviously thinks we're thick if the idea is to pop up every now and then with this shite and have any fan with half a brain believe him.

Dave Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 The single biggest thing he could do to provide a bit of hope for the future is to employ a good manager. Problem is, a decent manager wants his own coaching staff. Wants influence on transfers. Wants a decent playing squad. Wants a sensible policy of investment and a solid intention to keep hold of the best players. Wants professional people above him. Wants everyone pulling in the same direction. So getting that manager requires almost everything about the club as it stands to change. And that's simply not going to happen, hence how we ended up with a cunt like Alan Pardew. Mediocre ability at absolute best, and completely complicit in everything going on above him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 in terms of change the only thing I'm expecting now is for them to talk incessantly about winning cups and aiming for Europe which will be backed up by playing a 'strongest team' and going out of the cups anyways then getting nowhere near Europe because the paper-thin squad falls apart in January can't wait Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Boy Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Im not sure how even the likes of Cronky are meant to be impressed by this "new plan" the club are meant to have. In even the best case scenario, say they invest and get a decent manager and coaching team in, they are saying as soon as they win a cup or finish top 4 they will sell to the first money grabbing consortium that comes along and scrap all the theoretical good work that has been done. If he wanted any support surely he needed to promise the investment etc and then say he will only sell if he hasn't won something in the next 2-3 years.

If someone comes along and offers him daft money (highly unlikely I know) for the club then he'll sell. Everything has a price and he knows this as well as anyone. He's also a proven liar.

Klaus Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Did you not see the documentary man. As soon as they get the stock into the stores they have the discount already labelled with a fake previous price underneath. I doubt many people actually believe it, but it is cheap anyway so they will always attract customers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 This kind of s*** happens in loads of discount retailers over here too. Put an artificially high fake list price, slap an "outrageous" discount, sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
