Saint Charlie Posted 16 April, 2013 Share Posted 16 April, 2013 (edited) 1. We need Billy Sharp, loaning him out was ludicrous and Rodriguez is no better. 2. Chaplow's bite will suit this league as teams don't like you being in their face. 3. Schneiderlin is a luxury midfielder who doesnt score, assist or defend and just passes sideways. (Those of this opinion don't post much anymore...we also dont need Richardson as a front sweeper) 4. Transfer policy in the summer was all wrong, we needed Marriappa, Guthrie and Matt Jarvis. 5. Les Reed is evil. 6. Cortese is worse and has no clue re football matters. As a promoted team the target can only be to stay up because thats what Talksport said. 7. Managers who can't speak the local language are pointless and won't be able to speak to the players at all. 8. We should model ourselves on Stoke. 9. Reading beat us to the title because they are just better than us. 10. Fox and Richardson would be adequate Prem fullbacks. 11. Lambert will struggle against top defences because he has no pace. 12. I would rather be in the Championship because the Prem is too commercial. 13. Signing Yoshida is just a marketing ploy, Upson was available and knows English football. What are yours?

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 16 April, 2013 Share Posted 16 April, 2013 If you have a bad first ten games, even if they do include City & Arsenal away & Utd at home, you are DOOMED! West Ham are miles better than us. You need Prem Experience. We should follow QPR's transfer policy. The team isn't playing well under Pochettino. We should adapt to long ball football instead of this ticky tacky b*ll*cks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint-crinny Posted 16 April, 2013 Share Posted 16 April, 2013 Nice to see these all in one place - hilarious that anyone ever pushed any of them really (I say that, trying to think of whether I ever openly agreed with any of them...!!) Looking forward to a whole new set over the summer. Would argue that number 7 was never really relevant for us - despite what he does in the media, I think MP has always been able to speak English well enough to talk to the players, while using the translator to keep the media at arms length Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokyo-Saint Posted 16 April, 2013 Share Posted 16 April, 2013 Who said these crazy things? Never saw it myself. 8. We should model ourselves on Stoke. 10. Fox and Richardson would be adequate Prem fullbacks. In some ways this is true. I went to more games in the last two seasons than this season. Partly because of the JCL deciding that X prem team away is more appealing than Stockport away so not being able to get tickets and partly because it is hard to justify £40-£50 plus about the same in petrol to go to some grounds. 12. I would rather be in the Championship because the Prem is too commercial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pingwing Posted 16 April, 2013 Share Posted 16 April, 2013 Every team in the premier league and champ is "bigger than us" Our transfer policy is all wrong there's no squad depth, we should have signed more back up. Players like Gaston Ramirez will never sign for us. Protesting the sacking of Adkins was a brilliant idea if we all came out and booed constantly to tell the monster in charge who is boss. Card season tickets are really over the top and we never needed them at all and its far too complex for the average football fan The ticket office can competently implement a loyalty points system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
