A fresh start? No I just don't believe it's reasonable to think we have buying power over the likes of QPR, Forest, Swansea etc unless we have money

Putting the success of our signings under Monk and Pulis aside, which were atrocious, we only made those signings in the first place because we had buying power which we no longer have.

 

Who's talking about buying power but you here, though? You seem to have brought an argument to the table, asking someone to balance their opinion out, based on a point they're not even close to making? The point here is clearly that, regardless of what money we have available, the people doing the deals aren't bloody good at it and we've seen that from both when we've had and haven't had the money to spend. Said it yourself, the signings we made under those 2 managers who had money to spend were atrocious.

So what leads you to believe anyone should be giving anybody the benefit of the doubt right now? If anything, ever since Woodgate was forced in, it should have been time to double down and remind the club that for every player they want but can't afford or can't convince to join, they have to take some bloody responsibility for being in that position to begin with. If we do actually bring on board your point of financial clout, then remind them why the sodding hell we're in this position to begin with; because our club can't spend money well, rich or poor, and that inability to spend when richer means we nearly got bloody relegated.

Hi guys! PAOK fan here from Greece. You are getting a really hard worker in Akpom. He is a top lad and a good professional. When he first came, he was considered a bench player. It was the 2018-19 sea

Morsy nearly done

Williams fee nearly agreed. 1.75million rising to 2.5 (So 1.75 then 😂).

@Lurker have you heard anything about the new lad, Sam Jackson who joined the recruitment team in April?

He got name dropped by Warnock in an interview as the guy he was talking to re:Transfers. I assume he's in a senior position then?

This is a transfer window thread for 2020 and the initial conversation was about why we aren't getting players in, why wouldn't I talk about buying power?

Let's get to the core of this though, you and Scott want Gibson and Bausor to go and that's not going to happen. So why keep going on about it?

Yeah, we've finally appointed someone without links to the club. He's a proper analyst, not like rubbish that we've been employing.

Because I honestly have no idea what else you could be trying to achieve, in the last 3.5 years we have changed managers, Bevington has been and gone, Gill is being moved out and we have 2 new people involved in day to day recruitment

The only constants are Gibson and Bausor

Exactly, though I hope he didn’t identify the defenders Warnock said couldnt defend🤔

And I'll say again, in a hotly contested topic on this forum regarding Gibson's continued ownership of our club, something which has gone into all levels of detail and spanned across quite a lot of the members, you don't have a clue what my position on our ownership is if you think I want Gibson gone.

So maybe you should take a page out of your own book and not state what other people's positions are on other topics when you couldn't even let slide a slightly exaggerated statement of your own. And I'll leave it at that.
