Can't say he's not been backed. Add Forrester reportedly 300k he’s had it good Evatt compared to other clubs in the top 6

Only Charles I think where we'd get a profit, and even then not massive at his age. Just need to get promoted and get more investment in, we've got noone to sell to become sustainable. We've got plenty of assets, arguably the most saleable are the ones we got on frees.

Derby isn’t Rotherham, they’re not going to sell their best players under him like Rotherham always did and then not replace them. I believe their embargo also ends so they’re free to do what they like and a big part of that will be ensuring they stay up. I don’t see Warne being sacked at all and expect him to really surprise people.

Nobody is winning promotion with only 3 fit forwards that include a 39 year old cwt horse and bod who can't score. To be fair to Bod in two critical games at Pompey and Derby away he was only denied game changing goals by incredible point blank saves the one at Derby leading to Dions miss and at Derby arguably Wildsmiths save of the season.

So then like I said plenty of times recruitment is questionable going back 2/3 windows
April 18, 20242 yr Just now, radcliffe white said: So then like I said plenty of times recruitment is questionable going back 2/3 windows Having 5 out of 8 forwards injured for the most part of the season isn't down to recruitment mate. Dion and Vic had us flying, as much as Vic has his detractors, I'm one of em! But losing them, then Dions form and injury left us with a new signing in Collins and Bod who can't score and a 97 year old. I know other teams have had injuries but I doubt many lost their main two strikers and had 5 out of 8 forwards injured. You just can't account for that. Your bringing Jerome on at Derby to Derby to win the game instead of CMG, Vic or Dion/Bod. Just isn't good enough.
April 18, 20242 yr Getting Santos, Jones and Charles back to full fitness for the play-offs should be our priority. I’d rest all 3 on Saturday, regardless of them being prepared to play. Edited April 18, 20242 yr by Burndens Bogs

You take Bod his career injuries surely should’ve been a red flag I get the risk & reward but this hasn’t paid off for me, Jerome I get the idea behind but go for a younger journeyman CMG obviously not seen enough to judge but he isn’t an out & out striker

I actually think this is one of the things about him that damages us the most, his comments around games and regarding his own opinion of our ability only serves to get other teams more up for games against us. He winds people and opposition up to the point of them having additional motivation, and doesn't seem to be able to give his own players that for the big games. It's a worrying trait.

Turned club round completely, record ST sales, upgrading hotel, put in fanzone, got the town on side brought in Swiss investors, invested in good players, got us promoted, could be promoted again this season… who you think gonna come in and do better… you’re away with the fairies. Evatt has been a big part of turning this club around but i like others think rightly or wrongly he has run his course. Season ticket sales are great but you as well as i know 15k people have not bought one season ticket each. The fanzone was inside, now it is outside in the rain and cold. If there was a couple of pubs on the complex it would be deserted. The Swiss investors are a strange one. I dont buy that a bunch of families all of a sudden want to parade around Zurich with Bolton tops on. FV have diluted there holdings in the club why??? Simple they dont want to invest more than what they bought the club for. Again they are clever business people so i cannot fault them but obviously they are not prepared to through money around. The Government, Swiss and the Bond scheme have invested in players and infrastructure as laid out. See you just come out with statements like i am away with the faries............I countered everything you say. It is a forum.....I may be wrong maybe right but at least let people air their views

April 18, 20242 yr Fv own and run the club until THEY sell up and move. Not done anything wrong up until now, i am just stating that they may have run as far as they can with the club. Great if they stay on but dont come on here pre-season and next season whining they are no longer investing in the club.

It proves that the recruitment has been appalling; BOD, Jerome, Dan, Vic shouldn’t have been here this season. Similarly Wilson for Derby has been brilliant against a reasonable but no where near Cogley.
