Anyone read it? About scouting during Megsons time.

 

 

do we have to pay over the odds wages to attract players - shouldn't be the case as wigan seem to manage it, but its not something we've been great at

 

I think teams like Bolton and Wigan etc will always have to pay over the odds to attract talent. Although to be fair to Wigan, they have managed to buy quite a few players that have been sold on for decent profit in the past, which is something we haven't been able to consistantly do for quite a number of years

The whole Cahill cock up does me in the most.

 

He went on to be England's first choice center back and champions league winner in a little over a season.

 

To think Everton got 23 million or whatever it was for that Lego headed piece of shit.

Cas are you and Gary special buddies or summat? I think your misguided by your hatred of OC as this recent myth that has surfaced that meggo did anything good is complete madness and quite untrue.

 

Quite simply the man squandered more money on transfer fees than any bwfc manager ever will again?

My argument to that is that his return on the pitch was pretty passable and that he met any targets set to him by the board.

 

What the club went on to do with the players he signed isn't his fault.

Two words....RASIAK

Aye, but the difference was that Everton didn't need to sell....and we did. The whole issue was down to Cahill not having long left on his contract, I'm  not sure if this was the players doing or the clubs doing, either way we shouldn't have let his contract dwindle down so much

he signed an extension though

 

it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't type of situation though

 

sell and the board lack amibition

 

let them dwindle/leave on the cheap and we have no ambition

 

if we could get £4M for him, would you cash in on Mark Davies now or keep as we need him?  

 

on the other hand, most would happily sell CYL for a loss now, but back before his injury it'd have been madness to sell him

 

in any case, perceived resale values don't mean owt, if you don't sell them

Davies was mega on new years day. Different class

i belive the losses under coyle were equal to those under megson, despite relegation not hitting us (accounts wise) til after he left

 

megsons ppg was higher than coyle

 

he didn't relegate us

 

he may have been a cnut but his sense of humour appealed to me

 

in fact, he's the only ginger on this earth i have any time for

Davies was mega on new years day. Different class

 

do we sell him now (3 million anybody?) or would that show a lack of ambition

i think tomski is upset cos megsons like his better looking younger brother

We've yet to sell a player since Freedman's been here.  You'd think somewhere within our squad we'd have someone that other clubs would want.  Or is it a case that they're pretty much all paid far too much?

thats about it

 

too much ambition, i tell ya

 

or

 

maybe they know too much about dastardly davies and thieving phil

 

#shakeshead

In fact, I'm struggling to think of the last player we did sell (that wasn't just for a nominal fee anyway).  Must've been a while ago...?

al habsi?

Knight is a real goal threat as he creates more chances for the opposition than they create for themselves

al habsi?

 

Aye, probs.  Who before that?  Taylor?

more recently than al habsi, we sold ward, taylor and cahill

I take on board what you say but he ruined Elmander and didn't propel any of the signings on though. If we hadn't had the few seasons after through poor management again we wouldn't be saying this about Megson.
