tickler28 Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 If it's to be believed that the owners want to splash the cash and get us into Europe who goes?? My thoughts are we've seen the last of Nugent, De Laet, Drinkwater, James, Morgan, King, Hamer, Kram and Simpson All above are OK but not good enough to be in a team with ambitions of top 6 or 7 I'm not endorsing the massive overhaul but fear for these players futures
Mark_w Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 If it's to be believed that the owners want to splash the cash and get us into Europe who goes?? The owners. At least if they don't want to do it sensibly.
Matt Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 Gonna end in tears if we're going with a strategy like this.
tickler28 Posted 4 July 2015 Author Posted 4 July 2015 The owners. At least if they don't want to do it sensibly. They're going nowhere. Strap in my friend because money talks sadly and bullshit may walk
tickler28 Posted 4 July 2015 Author Posted 4 July 2015 Gonna end in tears if we're going with a strategy like this. I guarantee you its heading this way with big money signings.... Sad but its true....the owners clearly have delusions of grandeur
Bagworthblue Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 in my opinion only the following in your list are good enough Hamer as back-up king Kram it's all opinion at the end of the day
ScouseFox Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 you can't take our kingy from us after everyone else we loved has already left. that's just not fair.
tickler28 Posted 4 July 2015 Author Posted 4 July 2015 Not saying they'll all go but could beca lot loaned out and unhappy players missing out. You have to expect the new manager to be given money to sign his players
Legend_in_blue Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 Total overhaul? We've not even spent that much money and have brought in players required in positions that needed adding to what we've got.
ARM1968 Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 Don't worry they'll blow their budget on Klopp and there will be nothing left to spend on players. Just have to work with what we've got.
Raw Dykes Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 Gonna end in tears if we're going with a strategy like this. I agree, and I think it's going to have to be what happens. If they break the wage structure, which is more or less a given, then we'll be left with a lot of players on a lot less than others. They'll need new big, fat contracts or they'll either sulk or be shown the door. I was really glad Gallagher had finally left the club because he was a reminder of the horrors of this approach. Now it looks like we're about to do it again but on a bigger scale. At least it's not boring, I suppose.
The Doctor Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 Sorry, Kramaric the 1 in 2 international striker and in January the second top scorer in all of Europe, isn't good enough to be in a top 6 side? What reason have you got for that - you realise he was bedding in last season right?
Bagworthblue Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 the important thing is not to overhaul. Build more quickly yes but not overhaul - keeping everyone left at the club bar a few players is crucial otherwise the risk becomes too great
davieG Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 Makes you wonder why they re-signed Hammond then obviously good enough for a top 6 place, maybe not perhaps a top 7.
tickler28 Posted 4 July 2015 Author Posted 4 July 2015 Total overhaul? We've not even spent that much money and have brought in players required in positions that needed adding to what we've got. Transfer window just opened and we don't have the new manager in place yet....differences in perspective and then a bid for Austin suggest more signings are imminent
chicagofox Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 I guarantee you its heading this way with big money signings.... Sad but its true....the owners clearly have delusions of grandeur And you're basing this on one bid on one player. Don't you think you might be extrapolating just a touch. One bid for Charlie Austin and suddenly half the squad is getting culled. Transfer window just opened and we don't have the new manager in place yet....differences in perspective and then a bid for Austin suggest more signings are imminent And they should be because they are necessary.
The other Ollie Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 If it's to be believed that the owners want to splash the cash and get us into Europe who goes??

smithy2000 Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 Hamer is going to Forest (from a very, very close source) honestly put money on it!
Wymsey Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 Simpson has to go, surely; not the brightest button in the box off-the-pitch and not on-the-pitch either.
shailen Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 This is exactly what I'm scared of. We have a good spine but now with a new manager who will be backed with funds, I'm sure the spine of the team that has had so much success will be broken. We will replace the ambition with experience but you always need both, and its hard to find the balance. It's not like fifa where you can put together a squad of 80+ rated players and be invincible. Right now we have that mix and to improve it we needed to replace fringe players with quality players. Not our best players atm with other quality players. we will be worse off if we do that. I don't like change when things are going well. And they were. There is always a trade off between ambition and stability. any business if it invests too heavily will not be able to operate sufficiently.
Sir Shep Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 Sounds like I'm about the only one more excited now than I was a week ago. Sure I'm sad to see Pearson gone, he certainly didn't deserve to be sacked but it's happened and now it seems we could end up with some really good players and management team. Of cause we could also end up with Steve Cotterill as well and then I'll join all you doom and gloom merchants!
Poznan34 Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 After Sven, surely they know this method doesn't work?
smudger63 Posted 4 July 2015 Posted 4 July 2015 The owners. At least if they don't want to do it sensibly. So you want the owners to go, and would rather have owners in charge who are content to stay safely in the middle of the championship, so long as we are not spending big money, and showing too much ambition? I can`t believe the amount of stick our owners are getting on here!

I can`t believe the amount of stick our owners are getting on here! I think that's quite clearly not what I'm saying. I want owners with similar ambition but with a sane plan to get there.
