Guess WHAT happens when you SELL your BEST players ?

[Cesar Chavez]

Indeed, and some are miserable old gits at the best of times, so banging on about season ticket renewals just because of one defeat and an unfinished transfer window is about the norm.

Usual fishing trip eh Enrest?

You've caught a few including some knackered old dogfish who ought to know better but just can't resist the temptation of getting your juicy worm in their mouth again and again.

 

[Bladders]

All good and well but the game plan is Premiership football. The whole set up has been Premiership from the start except the team. There will come a point when support will have peaked and the decline will happen if we are in the championship for much longer.

Good, all the plastics can **** off

Nope, he really is being serious.

Good job our chairman is not as deluded as some on here. Players come and go, fans come and go, if you don't like what you see from the club, it's pretty simple really, **** off and do everyone who care a favour.

 

[Mutts Nuts]

Well all I will say is that these people are not real supporters then. I fear this will be the case.
Oscar really didn't arrive in the best of circumstances, and I think he has done a bloody good job.

I appreciate you are fishing but letting El Abd go was a ridiculous decision as was having him on the bench all season, we play much better as a team when he is on the pitch , he also does Greers job dishing out constructive direction rather than just shouting at the keeper

 

[Leighgull]

We all know 10000 or so are die hard fans at tops.

Ah yes...but how do who know WHO they are? Are they the ones wearing vests and running around office blocks with no shoes and socks shooting terrorists?

 

[Zebedee]

A win at Vale Park followed by a lucrative tie in the fifth round at somewhere like Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester City could give Oscar Garcia some big money to spend from Tony Bloom before the January transfer window closes, and that could be the difference between play-offs and seventh spot.

But he hasn't spent anything so far, has he? Where has all the budget gone for this season?

I don't think that the players are playing for nothing.

I'm sure zen understands that...but maybe a bit of transparency over the budget might help....without giving away too much info to our competitors

Transparency might help what? It might help appease the bedwetting of a vocal minority, but it'll also help the clubs we're buying off know how much we've got to spend.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

What a lot of codswallop. Flukey goal, we hit the bar beforehand and could have won it 1-0. Losing Crofts is a big one, we lacked that attacking midfield bite yesterday. Need to get more pace into the attack, OG and NJ will know that and will work on it.
Still have 12 days or so to buy a couple of players whilst retaining our FFP credentials.

Lighten up you doom-mongers!

Which is why i said without giving away certain info .......i'm not sure i go with this 'bedwetting' term ....vocal minority of people who moan after one defeat yes i agree...anyway back to transfer budgets..why shouldn't there be a bit more talked about this by the club ...we have a heck of a lot of new fans..who may well ask how its being spent and maybe totally ignorant that for example as well as paying a loan players salary (sometimes shared) ..which might be above our pay structure and hence out of the transfer budget..that there is sometimes a loan fee....etc .....zeb asked the question probably in all innocence...i wudnt shoot him down just because he might be ignorant ...lets make it clear though i am not for one second moaning about our club and am not in the group of people who bang on about our club lacking ambition

Unless we get promoted this season, this is what will happen. This season will be the peak of st's if we continue to play in the championship. Bounce this in August if needed. Clever the club basically make people commit to 2 months of the next season before deciding what to do.

I just hope we don't have a repeat of the season ticket increases of this season, that was supposed to be for keeping the playing budget the same as the previous season, when we made a £2mill purchase and for the increased travel costs. What have we seen this season for those increases, no money signings and some fans had their transport removed. So will it be next season, pay for your Park and Ride and still no signings, just players leaving? If that's the case then I think you could be correct, this season would have been the peak of ST sales

El Abd wanted to go, he wanted to play every week.

Fishing? My dad took me to my first game at the Goldstone ground in about 1980 as a six year old.
El Adb wanted to go, so the club let him go. It was nothing to do with money, it was more to do with him getting a game.

Flippin'eck I would have bitten your hand off a few years ago if you offered me a consolidated Championship position with the potential and set-up for the Prem. People have VERY short memories...

I just look forward to passing the 50 point mark as the thought of league 1 football again is very depressing.

 

[Soulman]

Not to mention the Amex hosting the England U21's, a World Cup rugby match.....and a sell out Rod Stewart concert.

You actually think that we could potentially get relegated?!
