Deja vu

Remember the really bad days after Wilder when we were just drifting.Rumours that the club were up for sale. Lenegan woulnt talk to the media and we appointed Waddock.One win in twelve with eleven defeats?

Well I hope I'm wrong but I can see this happening again only this time we will be relegated because we don't have enough points
 
I mentioned this on another thread. This current situation reminds me so much of the Lewis situation. I’m not holding my breath on news of a new Manager anytime soon. Oddschecker also points to this with no movement on the odds for the last 24 hours which indicates that nobody is hearing a murmur. DE seems tied up with other matters overseas and probably hoping Faz will do enough to make us safe this year. Peps sacking appears to have been forced on him with the very real prospect of a dabble with relegation if things were allowed to continue as they were
 
Only Oxford could mess up the perfect storm, two weeks in which to appoint a manager, and give him time to bring in new players and gel with the squad.
Typical of modern day Eales. Take yourself abroad, when there is so much to sort out at the club.
The club is in a mess and he does another disappearing act.
 
I remember those days well, where we resisted temptation to cash in on our two best players whilst also bringing in players from Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea!

The parallels could not be more simular!!

Don’t forget that nasty Mr Eales wants to sell all our best players so he can pocket the money! Did you also know that he won’t reinvest any of the money made in the summer? That means he certainly wouldn’t of paid any fees for the players bought in this month...
 
Actually they go back in May, not tomorrow. Not much point only loaning a player for a day.

As for the fact they are loans, Roofe, Baldock, Kenny, McAleny were all loans too. They weren’t too bad were they.
I dont see them wearing a yellow shirt just at the moment, do you?

What. A couple of here today, gone tomorrow loanees. Terrific.

What about the couple of highly rated young permanent signings branagan and dickie? Or do they not count as it wasn’t done at the last min ?

Both shite!! Charlie reckons they only cost is 20 quid, for both!!!
 
Steady mate, don’t start giving your opinion on here or you’ll set wiggy’s Cheshire opinion police off.??

Where have I said about not being allowed an opinion?

Does it upset you when people make counter arguements that go against your view point?

If people want to constantly moan and make unfounded claims then that’s fine but don’t expect people not to reply against the moans.
 
I am beginning to get the impression that DE took his eye of the ball in the summer and he knows it (maybe this was due to take over talks who knows). the appointment of Pep was a mistake in hindsight but what was worse was the recruitment policy in the summer. DE isn't a daft man and has now made a lot of right moves to fix the problems.

Comparisons to IL and the Waddock fiasco is not fair nor I think accurate. IL just gave up because he knew he was moving on and refused to put another penny into the club more than he had to (to the obvious detriment to the club). DE may or may not be moving on but he hasn't given up on at least maintaining the club as a decent saleable asset at a decent level and fund it properly.

Regarding a new manager now the window is shut there is less time pressure. If Faz can do the job for a bit then even better we buy more time (I am a bit more happy after the transfer window that we at least know where the issues in the squad are, and we have at least tried to address some of them). If things do not work out soon then the pace of recruitment will need to hot up and i think DE will be aware of this.

I hope the next manager will be more established with a proven track record at this level (and plenty of contacts here as well). I would also like to see someone who can work within our recruitment model, as this is one area I think Pep failed in.

I think the next few weeks will be very interesting indeed.

Very well articulated and I would agree with all of this.

It’s when it gets personal and swearing occurs, then people respond in kind, understandingbly.
Respond to the point, even if people consider it moaning. Its simply an opinion.
 
Still don’t think it matters that some are on loan. England youth sides are top in the world at the min. And we have just signed 5 England players.

Love it! I also liked it when they added the images of Ledson, Rothwell and Rob Hall as England Youth Players. Still a little gutted that Lego missed the under 21 tournament, how proud would we have been to have a World Cup Winner in the squad!!
