Its a sad thing when reading this forum is more entertaining than the action down on the pitch. Never seen so many so called  all town arnt we  argueing  name calling  . It seems every thread there is fallouts  and name calling. I dread to think what the players think ,and we know some of them will read it . Debaiting whats wrong or right is fine but to be honest it realy is can of pop and popcorn time when logging on . It needs to calm down .  We all know we need better players and they cost and we dont have the money .The new owners have spent a lot of their own money but say they are not shelling out any more and the club basically has to be self sustainable. Most understand that but it means we cannot get the players that we need.. So it is what it is right now.

Have they actually said they don't want to spend anymore money ?

I know they want to reach sustainability at some point , but all I have heard them actually say is they are putting more money in atm ,which they are fine with .

Seems another spin on words that the tap has just been turned off .

You've started another good debate there.

Being sustainable is a long way off, so if you are saying they won't shell any more money out does that mean we basically re-live the Fenty years but are nicer whilst doing it?

Reminiscing the Fenty years isn’t a great thought but you have to wonder if somehow these experienced professional businessmen have underestimated the costs of running a football club?

Let’s face it, the first two years of their tenure couldn’t have gone much better but we seem to have hit the buffers with a shuddering jolt. How we respond will be very interesting.

We get promotion have a run in the FA cup raising over a million pounds and still find a way to f--k it up.
If money was wasted on bad players by the manager it would be wiser by the powers that be to rubber stamp any spending in the future because someone really messed up big this time.

What like when Fenty was in charge, ringing players up on their way to sign for us to renegotiate their offers down? If they make a bøllocks of it, how do you change that?

With the current structure you’ve got specific people in place to make decisions on recruitment. If they fųck it up, they can be replaced. Same as a manager, or head coach. More clearly defined roles means it’s easier to say if they’re doing a good job, and if not, they’re easier to replace.

We've literally just signed a player for a fee a week and half ago. Some of you really are insufferable with the agenda against the ownership of the club. The playing squad isn't good enough, so letting players go to fund sales for other players is GOOD BUSINESS. Why would you keep an extra wage around when he isn't needed and deemed surplus to requirements? They've already made it public knowledge about the work that the main stand needs in the close season which will cost close to a million pounds. We've made a loss every season that they've put in out of there own pocket, they've acknowleged they probably under estimated the costs but I don't see any penny pinching? The match day experience is better despite the product served on the pitch, the ground is in a better state than it's been in a long time, the training ground is night and day difference, the non playing staff is actively larger to bring us in to the modern day and based on the words of PH the playing budget is the biggest this season during any of his seasons at the club. Some of you just need to have a day off.
