Everything was about to be agreed, when Savage burst in throwing water balloons filled with urine at the player and his agent shouting "what smells of piss....you." The player never came back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have enough now to finish top 5, but I would absolutely hate to go see us sign players for the sake of it again. We can’t keep making the same mistakes over and over again. Sign quality when we can get it.. sign potential when we are confident that it will yield a reward. Stay away from old unmotivated or injury prone players only here for a payday Absolutely, our recruitment has been the worst thing about the last few years. Hopefully with the backroom changes we see a different approach. Tbh with our budget we should be going after third everytime, I might be being unrealistic though.

I always think of the MSL as the place footballers go to retire To be fair it has improved a lot more. I think the money was too good to turn down and his team in Portugal are claiming they extended his contract which he says did not apply as the club got relegated, so other clubs might be put off at the possibility of FIFA siding with the club and a fee being paid.

I always think of the MSL as the place footballers go to retire Nah wasn't saying you were but can't think of many places he could get as much as £20k p/w. He was pretty pish when he was on loan at Hibs so would be surprised if anyone like Celtic for example were in for him. Also possible he just fancied it because he'll stroll it over there and will be a superstar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pollock is on this season - we were talking about last seasons bloated squad - TRY TO KEEP UP! We dont have a bloated squad now. Not even sure we have a squad. Young players getting a chance as we have failed to make the signings that the club agree we need.

Mr Rabbit Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 3 hours ago, Dusk_Till_Dawn said: Quality still costs money though and the fact that we’ve made bad misjudgements in the past doesn’t mean we shouldn’t still be prepared to go big if we can afford to. The problem over the past few years hasn’t been the money offered - it’s been the club’s judgement in signing players who’ve been a complete waste of it. That’s where Savage has to prove his worth, in dragging our recruitment into the 21st century and getting out of the habit of re-signing Jamie bloody Walker. It does but it doesn’t come with any guarantees. The club is always going to be at a loss when it comes to transfers as the game is rigged. Without knowing all the ins and outs nobody can really comment but regardless it will be used as a stick to beat the club with. Ultimately only good results will keep most fans at bay and even this year that hasn’t been enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I want us to go after it in a calm and controlled manner, wasting money on shit won’t do it. We know we probably aren’t good enough so every single player we sign has to improve the first 11. If we can’t get them then sit on the money. as I say I’m disappointed we haven’t got many over the line but happy that we are at least trying not to waste what we have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
