Saint Garrett Posted 21 June, 2023 Share Posted 21 June, 2023 5 hours ago, Fitzhugh Fella said: You would obviously like to think so and it is allowed to tell the fans if they are. But all I hear is the sound of silence. Trouble is Ron, I just don’t trust them at the present after that shit show season. I had high hopes I really did. They talked the talk, Brentford etc but, well, you know as well as I how bad it was last year. I know patience is a virtue but the fans have every right to be twitchy, especially as there are doubts about Martin’s ability. I think it's time for you to let go of last season, get behind the club, and move forward. I'm sure they know they fucked up last season. Personally they have my full backing next season. If we have another nightmare year, then it might start wearing thin, but ultimately they have money and seem to be backing the club. Let hope they learn from their mistakes, but wouldn't surprise me if we're top spenders in the division this season. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convict Colony Posted 21 June, 2023 Share Posted 21 June, 2023 (edited) Just seen that there is a manager called Martin Russell from ireland who got sacked from Athlone town last month. He also played for Norwich. I hope rasmus googled the name correctly. Edit: I am soooooo bored might be time to log off.

Not only do you repeatedly tell people what they can and cannot do on holiday but now you seem to know the holiday dates of all the staff at SMS. 😁😁 We had 63 days between seasons to get our new manager bedded in, sell a huge number of players who wanted away (or we wanted away) and then re build a team. We seem to have spent over a third of this time doing fuck all. Expect some rushed, hurried (and dare I say poor) decisions towards the end of August. you mean S.N.A.F.U ?

Only so many pencils that need to be sharpened.... Planning and preparation, full analysis of the first team, reserves and youth, examination of the scouting reports already completed and identification of new targets, preparing training schedules for the squad as a whole and individual players, heck even team building exercises with the backroom staff.

FarehamSaintJames Posted 21 June, 2023 Share Posted 21 June, 2023 According to Sam it’s in doubt! Although I wouldn’t believe it because it would imply RA has used logic and common sense. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he is sitting in Majorca watching videos of our games working out new tactics and thinking "AA is awful, he can go, is that ABK 'injured' again? He can go. Tall Paul, fuck me! etc etc etc" But somehow I doubt it. Until he signs on the dotted line, we're wasting time. And maybe it's my poor memory but we never seem to get off to a flying start. By the end of August, we'll probably have played 7/8 games and the players need to know each other's styles and strengths not meeting each other for the first time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
