SuperSAINT Posted 31 July, 2019 Share Posted 31 July, 2019 SSN reports 3 other clubs interested in addition to Boca Juniors So far none of the linked clubs can afford him. Loan at best. Isn’t next season the final year on his deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints-cris Posted 31 July, 2019 Share Posted 31 July, 2019 So far none of the linked clubs can afford him. Loan at best. Isn’t next season the final year on his deal? He signed a 3.5 year deal in Jan, so no. We're stuck with him, cheers Les. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint1977 Posted 31 July, 2019 Share Posted 31 July, 2019 They probably are interested, but they will only pay £0. We want to try and recoup the quite simply offensive amount we paid Monaco. The chances of that happening I'd say are between none and none. I imagine he's also on a stupid wage which these clubs can't meet either. Absolute mess. Maybe we could ask Pellegrino to pay us back for him? Club just need to take the hit and lose the wages for low/no fee. They shouldn’t have allowed someone whose sense of any market or professional perspective at the top level was vanishing rapidly to stay in charge for over two years. As soon as Reed tried to sign Carrillo, Kreuger should have been telling Les no and instantly sacking both Pellegrino and Les for gross ineptitude. Tbh, the Forster extension was sackable even before that. Kreuger would have done it if the owners had insisted, as anyone with any business brain would have done.

To be fair a good majority of people on here as well a lot of people I know knew that this guy would be a dud and was only brought in as a panic buy to support Pellegrino.

Yes. At least Osvaldo scored 3 goals, including that cracker against Man City. Although Osvaldo was a bit mental you could see why we signed him, a good pedigree and Pocechetino knew him.

Cortese was a complete cock but at least when it came to football he was decisive. Imagine making the decision on whether to sack someone on or not on the last couple of results!

Fan The Flames Posted 1 September, 2019 Share Posted 1 September, 2019 The whole Pellegrino situation was utterly strange. Nothing can explain why he was brought in and then kept on until it was almost too late Other than to be seen backing an appalling manager, the signing of Carrillo is just as weird What is strange is that he was presented as a prgressive attacking manager when he clearly was the opposite. He really was a **** up. But Les and the management team were sold on this idea that if you kept getting of managers you could build something bad into the culture of the first team. I remember this being alluded to in an interview with Les, that the team could develop the habit of choosing when to play for a manager and any manager could be dispensed of by the first team at their choosing. So they stuck with MP far longer than they should have done, trying to break this perceived cycle. Maybe backing the manager with a player of his choice was an extension of this approach. They got out of jail with Mark Hughes and then compounded their mistake by giving him the full time gig. The management did make some big mistakes.

But, of course, that's not all. There are also their wages and agents' fees to factor in.

Actually most of our fans were creaming themselves over elyounoyssi and vestergaard.. go read the original threads. I always find it a bit hippo-critical for people to bash read or whatever for signings the w**ked over and celebrated over at the time even though it’s not our jobs.. but for example I was super excited when we signed the likes of Osvaldo Gastón and clasie but I’m not gonna turn round now and whine about the signings because I agreed with them Osvaldo in particular looked super ambitious on paper getting an Italian international from Roma who was up their with top scorers in serie a the season before.
