Not when it comes to player recruitment it isnt. Barbs has gone to great pains to make it clear, no absolutely clear that in no way is he responsible for player recruitment. Nope not me, no way. Which was a good way of sidestepping the Burke cluster**** last year.
He has said (and to be fair...
He has made it quite clear he is NOT anything to do with the recruiting side only when players are leaving and negotiating the best sale value . Which is nicely sidestepping the cluster**** when Burke was in charge.
Indeed, like most we are a selling club. One thing is certain Barbs will get top dollar for any player now. Thats a good thing.
What I dont want to see anymore is willy wavng over £200k for a proven champ leftback (Ward) having already agreed terms and then get blindsided at the last min. That...
Hahahahahaha
You know what you are quite RIGHT
But as long as I have a hole in my arse that will NEVER EVER happen again.
Cue Chailey Jem blahblahblahblahblahblah
That was under Adams MK2 in August/early Sept and I think we were near the top at that point.
We wasnt by October which is where "I didnt realise we had to be top by October"came out. We all know what happened next.
Yep this. From being universally derided as a winger (when he first joined, I remember the abuse he was getting at the 50 or so fans at Elland Road on that fateful day when Hillsborough happened) only to play right back by Lloyd in the last few games that season (and as it turns out being quite...
Yep. And the willy waving that happened all over a £200k fee meant the alarm bells were ringing even then it was time to start wetting the bed.
Wages agreed, he wanted to come but we wouldnt pay £200k FOR AN INTERNATIONAL PROVEN CHAMP LEFT BACK
Are you ****ing serious???
All the willy waving...
Which is the right answer.
And Sami was an honorable chap resigning when Bloom, Barber etc didnt have the cojones to sack him when it was quite clear it wasnt working. Sami could have sat on his contract while we did a Blackpool.
Its ALL about the money.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is sadly living in cloud cuckoo land.
And yes if we were offering say double what the others were (despite higher leagues, european football etc) then we would still get their sig.
Thankfully Fozzie did come back to play and he was quite good then so I can see why in his POMP he would be many peoples faves.

For me the best...
