The boy Linacre Posted 21 January Posted 21 January 5 minutes ago, Tuna said: TBF to Marti and his inimitable "Football Bingo BS" That adaptation to the Championship means the wind and the rain which our current players couldn't manage last night according to their "manager". As well as the fact that the Scandi players who have had a 6 week holiday will be a few months behind that shower on the pitch last night, who Jordan James aside, have been on holiday since early August.
Lineker's Left Foot Posted 21 January Posted 21 January For all Marti’s criticisms of Scandinavian players, I am wary of appointing a Manager that got QPR to midtable and managed in Sweden 3
Ric Flair Posted 21 January Posted 21 January I cannot fathom out why we'd agree a fee for a player that the manager is extremely unsure on. Talk about a disconnect. This is a market that Cifuentes is majorly experienced in as well.
RedSoxUK Posted 21 January Posted 21 January If Marti doesn't rate him then I'm sold tbh, get it done rudders.

I guess they wanted the deals lined up ready for the managers ‘ok’ so it could get completed quickly however, that would involve pre-planning and I’m not sure we’re actually capable of that. 2
Molson Canadian Posted 22 January Posted 22 January (edited) They have his replacement lined up and confirmed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Salter very interesting signing he’s playing in the Canadian Premier League. If this is the calibre of player they will be taking as a replacement it is a bit puzzling. It’s a 8 team league which I would call semi pro with majority of the players having regular jobs. Mid 20s who never had any solid offers in MLS and didn’t appear in any of Canadian youth teams at any age. Edited 22 January by Molson Canadian

I mean let them try but signing a 25 year old unknown from the semi professional lower leagues would never ever in a million years work .......... 5
Jon the Hat Posted 22 January Posted 22 January 8 hours ago, Ric Flair said: My personal opinion is, the club already know the outcome. Absolutely. Talks will be well underway with the deduction being negotiated. Deal done by the time it is announced. They will not want to be embarrassed again by our legal team.

I'm not sure it's preferable to give free rein to the people who have governed our recruitment for the past few years. And by that I'm not only referring to Glover. I have no reason to believe that any of our managers since Puel have any great pedigree as team-builders. But if you look at our recruitment since the FA Cup win, under five different managers, it's been abysmal. It's also a myth that it was any good under Maresca, when the money was spent on Coady/Winks/Cannon and a host of others who have shown glimpses of quality without consistently looking likely to make the transition to top level football. It's hard to argue that a group of people, none of which have ever managed and most of which have questionable credentials in the game, are the ones who should have a greater say on recruitment than any one of five different managers. Some of which have had decent careers in management and whose input at least carries some weight. I'm utterly underwhelmed by Cifuentes. I wouldn't want to say he's never going to make it at this level (he kind of did, more or less), just that he's no more likely to be successful with us than anyone else who's going to be interested in the job right now. But we can't keep dismissing all of these managers as total no-hopers whose input should be discarded in favour of Rudkin and co. continuing to run amok with our recruitment. Yes, there are managers out there who could do a lot better - but hardly any of them would want to come, and if they did, our board would fail to identify them. It's hard to adapt to this reality because until recently we were a club capable of attracting top manager. Now, Cifuentes is the calibre of boss we can expect, give or take a little. Yes, he looks like he's flailing, but when that applies to so many consecutive bosses you have to start looking for the common denominators. And, preferably, not encourage them to carry on doing as they see fit with the club. 2
Muzzy_no7 Posted 22 January Posted 22 January I’ve been told this is done but we need to move one more out first.

JonnyBoy Posted 22 January Posted 22 January f me, how far have we fallen can't even get a 1.8m signing over the line that has had one good season in 5 hideous 1
