Prediction on league finish

[Tarbie]

Really?

How many players bought on multi million pound deals over years?

How many millions spent on agents fees?

How many millions spent on paying off contracts to get people out of the club?

How many millions paid out on players however large or small?

How many millions on managers salaries and then paying them off too when sacked?

I think you're being a bit blinkered here.

It's pretty common knowledge.

Exactly mate.

Classic example is Julio Cesar. Free transfer but came on a 4 year deal, paying 70 grand a week, no doubt with a sizeable sign on and agents fee.

Left us on another free transfer to Benfica 2 years later. Benfica no doubt paid him a smaller salary meaning that we probably paid him off the difference in salary for the remainder of the contract.

Whilst we never paid a penny for Cesar, I'm willing to bet that between salary, agents fees and the pay off to terminate his contract, he cost us at least 15m quid!

Wonder if we paid for the helicopter he took to training

This was our biggest mistake. Fans do seem to think we spent big but completely in the wrong areas. Harry redchap only had a little black book of pensioner's so he also didn't help the cause

[davieqpr]

Well I think today,although only a friendly, will give us a big idea. What formation? what team? what tactics? is Hall fit? Will he play Mackie, is Wzsolek going to be left twiddling his thumbs ,how many will Washington miss and how long will it take to realise route one doesn't work.

We stayed up by the skin of our teeth last season, and we are defiantly no better as of right now than we were then - Based on that logic, relegation looks a distinct possibility at this point. Unless reinforcements are brought in (and let's be honest, the names we're being linked with doesn't exactly suggest that we'll be picking up any stars) it's going to be a hard and disappointing season for my money.

Davie I do tend to agree and I think route one should be more plan b or c than a because we need to play a quick passing game. Stan made a pt in his interview where the players were sent to Germany. They can back and started playing 1 touch football. Our current crop couldn't even play 2,3,4 or 5 touch football. We just don't have the ability to play a style that the fans want to in that sense I am sympathetic to ollie

[Shania]

In my opinion, at least 5 or 6 of Our players are capable of playing one touch football. Not sure we can play the long ball game at all.

Another fan not wanting to live in the real world.

True one touch and they lose it

[Shania]

Then I wonder how we shall play it? Take them on the break?

Every professional footballer should be able to play one touch, otherwise they shouldnt be a pro, plus amazes me how many can only kick with one foot!

That is true. That is also why we need better coaches at Academy level.

Well our glorious leader could only kick with one foot premier with us and Newcastle England international very one footed

Did i not put every professional or did you decide to just ignore that lol
