Cosmonaut 160 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 Glancing through today's posts ... the way we do business has been a *** clown show for far too long for a club at our level and the history we have. Starting to really boil my p1ss. For once, before this window opened, I had optimism we would finally get things done and start to move forward. Have a better team working in the background bringing in players, spotting talent we can afford and having that odd gem work out here and there .. I know it is complicated business, but good grief, we really seem embarrassing the way we operate behind the scenes with incomings and outgoings. The Ameobi situation for me just sums it all up. Fair enough the club may not have been able to predict whatever happened to the lad following him signing the deal but it all seems fairly odd. What an absolutely *** waste. Then to see the likes of Payero come in, seems Warnock has no interest in giving him a look from what I am reading and I'm wondering whether it was worth him hanging around for one more season after all right now. We should have started again with a new guy in and it would have been nice to get the guy from Norwich who come in the have started a bit earlier. Would have liked a manager like Eddie Howe though I know we're never gonna get anything like him in a million years ... but someone who plays a real exciting brand of football, who knows what they're doing. Everyone at the whole club collectively involved aiming for the same thing. This all seems a joke at the minute. I hope it's just me over-reacting and there's not as much disharmony behind the scenes as I have had a feeling about over the past couple of weeks, but I feel we've got things wrong with timing etc and as usual making total *** out of ourselves when it comes to buying a decent player or two. Ever since we changed the badge and that Bausor grin, it's just seemed to be a clown show since. When the *** are we going to sort this out?? Steve Gibson, please do something about this. It's about time and we've waited long enough. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

It's like a shopkeeper agreeing to sell me a television and then putting it on the counter, but suddenly asking for 50 quid more. It's perfectly legal but it's not a good look and it certainly doesn't help with any future negotiations. It’s more like you trying to buy a used car online and when you go to meet the seller you’ve been checking out other cars and you see the fella has a brand new car next to it and the old one is full of dust and has clearly not been used for a while. So you look at the desperate man whose wife (the accountant) is yelling at him in the background because they need money for new bicycles for the kids. And with no other buyers around you tell him that you’ve realized it’s not the best deal after all as you’ve been checking out other alternatives and you want to pay a bit less. It’s a chance to take obviously but the worst thing that can happen is you pay the original price because they are still desperate and want rid of him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Starting to really boil my p1ss. If you think it’s any different at other clubs then I think you’re perhaps a bit naive. Every club is looking out for the best deal possible until the very end. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
ABH 468 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 (edited) Bausor will do what he does best and will get our contribution to he’s wages down from £30k to £20k a week in exchange for us paying £1m loan fee 😀 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Just like Bola, Browne and Jones got a chance. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,695 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 People will probably try to say that we shouldn't have signed ameobi because of underlying injury problems, but it's impossible to say if there was anything there before we signed him so can't really criticise the club for that. On the other hand, we shouldn't have signed him anyway, because he's a crap player. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

SzilardNemethsCurtains 2,844 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I get there is reasons for it but there is an anti Gibson spin to a lot of ITK posts on here, it's the same with when Graeme Bailey's tweets about the Boro too. Is he particularly difficult to journalists or something? I have heard a few horror stories with how he's dealt with ex players mind so I can certainly see how he could tarnish a lot of relationships Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve read your posts and it is clear you are not as inept as you have just made yourself out to be. I demand a second opinion, is Brunners about, in order to offer the casting vote 😉 1 Link to post Share on other sites
