The team spirit has disintegrated. How will you blame that on Dick Knight? The "gutless performances" I reffered to didn't just mean Stoke, they were common throughout the season.Icy Gull said:
And how does the fact we've not got much money account for making stupid team selections and subs? Did McGhee think "ah, f*** it, we've got no money, let's play El-Abd on the right wing"

So McGhee suddenly became a shit manager having performed miracles for two seasons then?
Teams like companies eventually succumb to being the poor relations in a competitive environments. Are you really that misguided and anti Mcghee that you cannot see how the f*** up on Falmer and the constant struggle to compete on an equal footing eventually results in morale being affected.
The glib comment about El Abd shows a complete lack of understanding of what McGhee was TRYING to do with tactics and players. Maybe he should just have left KM at lb to f*** up every week and ignored Leon's antics, would THAT have made you happy?

It's Mark McGhee who takes the team talks (well, he's who is supposed to at any rate), not Ann De Vecchi.Icy Gull said:
Erm, no, it doesn't. I understand what the apologists claim he was trying to do with that substitution perfectly. It's just that it was farcical. The fact that we don't have a lot of money to strengthen means we need to get the best out of what we've got. Something McGhee abjectly failed to do.Icy Gull said:

So selling your best players and being given a pittance to replace them has no bearing on the quality of the replacements? yeah right
and if you think the ongoing saga of Falmer does not affect the morale of the club then I just give up on arguing with you.

He was hardly given a pittance. What he was given should've been adequate to replace a 9 goal striker and a quick but inconsistent left back.Icy Gull said:So selling your best players and being given a pittance to replace them has no bearing on the quality of the replacements? yeah right
Of course, it does, but that wouldn't account for the team spirit being non-existant, if anything it should help create a siege mentality, and it shouldn't have that much affect performances on the pitch.
£100k bid for Tom Brighton? Numerous attempts to sign Shipperly, as well as Barnard on loan?Icy Gull said:yup, when you get a big fat ZILCH to replace the little shit with

I can still clearly remember the horror at seeing Kerry Mayo trot up to the centre circle to take the kick-off for the Albion at the tail end of last season. Remember clearly thinking: 'Sweet Mother Of God, NO! Has it come to THIS?

You're still not on about that?
It was a perfectly acceptable tactic at the time given the appalling state of the pitch in terrible conditions and the need to stiffen up our vulnerable flanks on both sides of the pitch.It is these kind of utterly trainspotting and cheesepairing criticisms that convince me that the anti-McGhee mob on here are not serious.

Utter and total denial about the state of our finances. WAGES are the key thing when operating in the transfer market and we do not pay enough to be able to put out a team that is of even near Championship quality. That we survived two years in that league was a miracle.Silent Bob said:

Bearing in mind he would have gone for nothing at the end of the season anyway, £125,000 for a player with a well known attitude issue wasn't such bad business.

nelsons goals got us up. He was then sidlined for Byrne who was regularly injured. Gall was crap, gotsmanov only played a few games and was not much better. Are you sure Loydd signed Keeley and Beeney as manager?
Foster?
You have a point about small. It was his goals and good goalkeeping that got us in to the play-offs, but as entertainment it was pretty poor.
Still Wendies free kick against Ipswich is worth forgiving him(Wendy) his headless chicken impersonations in Midfeild.
