Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted September 17, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted September 17, 2017 We have to stick together and ride it out. Any team who hasn't paid a transfer fee for 2 years would struggle. I enjoyed winning a few games last year but this season was always going to be tough. Anyone waiting until we start winning again before coming back on board can fuck off - see you in August Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted September 17, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted September 17, 2017 Not really using it as an excuse, more statement of what I believe to be true. If we gave PP £20m to spend on 4 players in January, we would be better than if we gave him the go ahead for 4 freebies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Probably buy 20m worth of wingers It clearly hasn't helped but neither has his approach and set up in games double edged sword Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveTheRave Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I read it as 'have Millwall spent any money' rather than us? He didn't mention Bolton spending money he said Millwall So? Millwall got the good Bradford defender we tried to sign on a free Maybe I misread it. But he then posted this.... Pay to get out of the embargo earlierFuck knows maybe I'm being numb as fuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 17, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted September 17, 2017 Aye. We've touched upon this previously. I feel sorry for PP - bloody difficult situation he's worked under. Still not convinced I'd let him loose with a war chest; maybe some of it. We've got to trust ken to get the balance right.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 17, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted September 17, 2017 Maybe I misread it. But he then posted this.... Fuck knows maybe I'm being numb as fuck In fairness his first point about Millwall maybe not spending shit loads was reasonable. Sadly he reverted to type later. A wum.

Lostock Whites Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 My experience with Bolton recently, is that when we've stuck together and got behind the lads, nothing changed and we still witnessed abysmal performances on the pitch. This is excluding last season, which is the one fluke in the last 8 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane57 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Yeah that's really interesting as usual - so what about the supporters trust? You've had plenty to say on here, is there anything you'd like to hear discussed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Casino Posted September 17, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 17, 2017 so, youre going to ask marc iles questions about the supporters trust? i know he and clickbait central are their mouthpiece but surely you would be better asking the trust directly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Carlos Posted September 17, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 17, 2017 Seriously, my question is given the well documented actions and comments from Trust board members past and present, has it become an irrelevant parody of itself?

Site Supporter Ratwhite Posted September 20, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted September 20, 2017 Not sure which thread to put this on.. Apologies for DP I must be some kind of football pervert. The worse it gets the more I want in. Towards the end of last season, I couldn't take the build up and tension and have got to admit didn't enjoy the feeling (until the final whistle v Peterborough) When it got a bit shit start of last season, none of the mates fancied Swindon away, I was fucked with Flu had bough train / match tickets and was lied awake at 2.30am coughing my bollocks off saying can't be arsed with it. Anyway 3 hours later alarm goes and I'm walking into Athy for the first V2 of the day to Manchester Picc. 10.5 hours travelling / two hip flasks of JD and some strange polish lager later and I'm in Night and Day on Oldham Street celebrating a shit goal / 0-1 win. It was a turning point last season. There will be one this season. We are two wins from top spot (4th from bottom) Stick with it Chaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mounts Kipper Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 I see fans calling for Parkys head exactly the reason I posted that we should all stick together. it's too easy for modern day fans to knee jerk reaction and that sacking the manager will immiediately produce results, that's not going to be the case when the underlying problem is injuries to key players when we already have a wafer thin squad.

Whites man Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Harry Redknapp made an interesting point after being shown the door at Birmingham last week. Managers can take the pressure of a bad run of results it is chairman and directors who cannot. You get those ridiculous clubs who are paying off 3 or 4 sacked managers. It's just continually rolling the dice, do that in any other business and you would be the one getting the sack. I hope and think that Ken has the backbone to keep PP in the job.

tomski Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I think we are actually a patient support base. A few on Twitter may disagree but I think the consensus of the match going public is of support for PP. As for Redknapp. I'd want a turn around in results after giving him 20 million to spend. I think when you have invested them sums right or wrong you are entitled to expect an improvement. Always someone else's fault for that bloke.

Moderators Zico Posted September 20, 2017 Moderators Share Posted September 20, 2017 We're in the shit up to our necks and it's more important than ever we stay in this league I'm hoping fans, players, management and the owners can pull together to keep us in the championship let's do our bit support and encourage the team, keep any recriminations until the seasons finished and hopefully we will have achieved our aim of survival in the championship from there we can build to get into the play offs a few years down the line. agree what if we go down though? am behind PP but fear for him if we don't beat Brentford with 2 tough away games to follow end of the day, KA is a business man looking for investment and it'll come down to results and whether he thinks sticking with PP, regardless of the conditions he's faced to date, is going to hamper his long term plans to attract investment, or how far short PP is falling of whatever targets they presumably set at the start of the season can't think of a manager who could do any better, but with all the footballing contacts and agent experience they have, KA and LA probably think they can find one, if needed, like they did when they had to find one to get us out of league one at the first time of asking under tight conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
