June 26, 201412 yr I think he represents a worse purchase than Elmander all in all Most definitely. We were deep in relegation trouble, and Coyle had over £3m to spend on a player. This player should've been someone capable of playing his part to keep us up, given that we'd just lost our valuable asset for £7m. What does Coyle do? Spends it on an unproven striker he's never seen play, and gives him about 25 minutes of action all season. For all the money we spent on Elmander (transfer fee, signing on fee, agent fees and wages), we've probably lost a lot more on Sordell in the long run. All that TV money that we could still be receiving had Coyle been more sensible would've been nice for a start. TNT CLC
June 26, 201412 yr apart from the fact that our losses are probably greater in the prem than division two, its all true that (the fact we lose more when we are successful is something we probably all struggle to get our heads around) if players make a significant contribution to us staying up, that gives them loads of ticks in the good value box if we get relegated, that's a big fat cross
June 26, 201412 yr indeed in fact if sordell starts 15 games or scores 5, you win Good man. Like taking candy from a baby, Or should that be, Black pudding from a Bury boy
June 26, 201412 yr Good man. Like taking candy from a baby, Or should that be, Black pudding from a Bury boy Sickening

TNT CLC Some true bits, but even so, all we had to do was win one of the last 3; Were 2-0 up v WBA, with 10 to go And surely we should have won at Stoke Edited June 26, 201412 yr by boltondiver
June 26, 201412 yr Champagne corks will be popping when I see him in a claret and blue shirt. Can't see him featuring much, though
June 26, 201412 yr Marvin set for medical on Friday, so it is said ahead of £500,000 transfer. Going down all the time (:lol:)
June 26, 201412 yr Whatever the price is if it's enough to fund the Juke coming our way it'll do for me.
June 26, 201412 yr Whatever the price is if it's enough to fund the Juke coming our way it'll do for me. Is the correct answer
June 26, 201412 yr Most definitely. We were deep in relegation trouble, and Coyle had over £3m to spend on a player. This player should've been someone capable of playing his part to keep us up. TNT CLC Aye we had £3 million for a striker and QPR spent £6 million on Zamora and £4 million on Cisse that January window. The big spenders stayed up at our expense on the final day.
June 26, 201412 yr Aye we had £3 million for a striker and QPR spent £6 million on Zamora and £4 million on Cisse that January window. The big spenders stayed up at our expense on the final day. Aye cos they were both resounding successes too.....
June 26, 201412 yr Don't forget SWP. Nothing to do with their owners being multi-billionaires of course. Booooo Gartside etc.
June 26, 201412 yr Author Aye we had £3 million for a striker and QPR spent £6 million on Zamora and £4 million on Cisse that January window. The big spenders stayed up at our expense on the final day. Still went down 12 months later.
June 26, 201412 yr Aye we had £3 million for a striker and QPR spent £6 million on Zamora and £4 million on Cisse that January window. The big spenders stayed up at our expense on the final day. Do you want us out of business?

All that TV money that we could still be receiving had Coyle been more sensible would've been nice for a start. TNT CLC We had £7 million though didn't we (engineered by the selling of a certain goalkeeper of course). We bought two strikers Ngog, who was known for not scoring goals and a gamble on Sordell who was scoring goals but was unproven at Premiership level. There were though bigger issues. Establishing a team pattern. Coyle is just a motivator and doesn't seem to have the ability to build a team. The hard work had been done at Burnley. He was found out at Bolton. It happens lets get over it.

June 27, 201412 yr he was, yon mon is waffling on about two different times sordell (and ream ffs) were the proceeds of the sale of cahill
June 27, 201412 yr How much did we actually get for Cahill? - I don't think I've ever heard the amount
June 27, 201412 yr So we got Sordell, Ream and N'Gog for Al Habsi and Cahill. As the dearly missed Diddles would say #epicfail
June 27, 201412 yr Wasn't Al habsi sold for 4 million? That's what I'm saying £4 million for al habsi + £3 million we already had = £7 million.
