WigstonWanderer Posted 1 October 2017 Share Posted 1 October 2017 As someone hinted earlier, it could have been the owners who wouldn't sanction the Silva purchase before the Drinkwater sale. I'm sure we'll never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silva is on the pitch in tears saying his goodbyes to Sporting. He’s just realised what Shakespeare meant by saying this next time next year we will be fighting for the championship title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont blame the guy running to the car with the paperwork Agreed. You can delegate responsibility (in part perhaps to the guy running to the car with the paperwork), but you can't delegate accountability. Ultimately, regardless of what cockup caused this transfer to go wrong, the DoF is accountable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real criminal thing about this is, I suspect Shakey will be binned shortly and this screw-up is a contributory factor to our current situation. We will have to wait and see how this is handled, but if he is singularly held accountable, this Club will lose a massive chunk of credibility.

Nothing from the Club. Nothing from FIFA. Nothing from Sheppyfox. May be close this thread now as nobody cares anyway now. One month of garbage. It will be too late come January. Lets stick with King and make the most of it. Shambolic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cramptonfox Posted 2 October 2017 Share Posted 2 October 2017 I find this mess harder to deal with than a disaster on the pitch. We all know the scanario - lose at home to a useless outfit - Really not looking forward to the ribbing you're going to get from some of your mates. At least then you can think to yourself - just wait until your lot screw one up. This is different - it makes us look incompetent twats - you can't say to yourself wait until your lot screw up a bit of straightforward paperwork- because 99.9% of football clubs are perfectly capable of basic admin! I really do despair! For me one of the worst moments in over 50 years of following the club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
