So having cleared all that up, can you and your colleagues ask the powers that be to pick the players that might deliver the prime objective!


I fell into that trap didn't I. Shame really...

Could have saved myself half an hours work. I honestly thought you were genuinely interested.

Well I enjoyed reading it. I'm sure it cleared it up for countless others too.

No, to be serious. I'm full of admiration for all those who put so much into Operation Promotion and that's why I asked the question in the first place. I appreciate that no player wants the burden of 'I'm the player the fans paid for' on his back but just thought that the club may have been transparent about how the money was being used - I admit I missed the goalkeeping coach bit - and hoped that it just wasn't being swallowed up into the budget.

I honestly thought after we raised that sum,

With the players Hurst has signed,

We would win this league,

I would not be disappointed if we went up through the play offs,

BUT

If we are still in this league next season then we need a new leader,

BECAUSE

If Hurst can not get us promoted with these players he will never do it.

Still sat on the fence at the moment but getting an itchy bum.

Money guarantees nothing Pete, it's how it's spent that's crucial. Although clearly the more money you've got in the pot, the better chance you have.

Despite being accused of being a miserable, negative old tw@t, I still believe that apart from one quality midfielder, we have the best squad in this league and the best squad since the Slade season - I'm just running out of faith in the manager's ability to get the best out of them.

The only explanation I can come up with is that it's because he was a defender and he doesn't know how to get the best out of attackers.

Hard to get the best out of attackers that score goals, then get left on the bench.

Quite - especially for the mandatory 70 minutes.

Shame the thread gets turned into another anti Hurst thread.
