It's all gone very quiet.

 

No news is, possibly, good news?

 

The twatterati have had a few days off for Christmas, playing with their presents

Posted

I know that we had to make a part payment, as according to "the rules" if players don't receive any payments for two months they are free to cancel their contracts......so had we not paid them anything this month, I think they were free to walk from 1st January 2016.

 

Now if we enter administration, the administrators can sell the players (if anybody wants them) - had we not paid, they would have walked for nothing.

 

So it could be that giving them a part payment (and not a full one) is the ideal scenario for putting the club into administration, as at least they are now, in theory, saleable assets.

 

Indeed, hardly rocket salad is it?

Maybe that's the deadline for a buyer. Who knows?

 

 

Perhaps we're hoping when the transfer window opens in a couple of days, massive bids come in for some of players, then we'll no longer be in the shit.

 

Wait as long as we can, as you never know what's around the corner.

 

We might beat Eastleigh and draw Arsenal/United etcx away in the Cup, generating a shit load of cash from gate receipts and TV money, thus keeping the wolves and Holdsworth's mob at bay.

Up until the Wembley debacle Coyle was outstanding for us.

His happy clappy management style wasn't able to give the players the kicking to get their heads out of their arse.

hmmm up til two weeks prior and picking your best team away at man u instead of leaving your keyman out. Result, best player crippled

He was a bad manager but can't be blamed for not being able to see into the future.

Coyle's signings for an established premier league club & with millions to spend....

Robinson..Robbie Blake..Petrov..Klasnic..Eaves..Wheater..Reo-Coker..Pratley..Eagles..Mears..Ngog..Ream..Sordell..Wylde..Andrews..

There's nothing new here but when you see it in black and white it is quite astounding.

Basically mostly championship quality players or worse signed on premier league money, his judgement of players worth and ability pathetic.

Posted

To give him some credit, he did bring in Sturridge and Wilshire on loan, as well as signing Stu Holden for nowt.

 

I think that's about it though. Maybe he was working to a reduced budget in his last season, but he still spent some decent money.

I seem to remember Marc Iles once tweeting that he knew of 2 previous BWFC managers that used fantasy football for scouting potential signings. Coyle nailed on IMO.

Thought Megson signed Robinson.

Posted

my guessing is that there isnt just holdsworths crew in the game

Your guess would appear to be correct, if you believe Iles

 

"The next hurdle faced by the club is a considerable one – and all efforts will now be channelled into staving off a winding-up order from HMRC over an unpaid tax bill, due at the High Court on January 18.

 

Efforts to secure a new owner continue, with the club maintaining that more than one party are currently in negotiation."

Posted

I think Megson brought Robinson ( & Klasnic ) in on loan, but Coyle signed them permanently.

I think we only signed Robinson because we had too many loanees.

 

I do not think Robinson would make the top 25 If we listed shit signings of last 10 years

Looked decent against us last time out!
