Totally agree, Shrek sounds like shitpeas to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L1onheartNew Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Right back: for every Dennis Irwin, there is always a Connoire Brun; irrespective of whether there is a fee involved. Didn't we pay the same for both? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Are we doing that thing where we assume decisions being made are bad again? We're so conditioned to bad practice by owners over the decades, that we still see it everywhere as a fan base even under the Rothwells. It's probably the case that paying a fee for a right back doesn't mean we will have to sacrifice important signings in other positions. Its probably all factored into a general recruitment strategy.

I'd rather we spent it on some star dust as we have plenty of good lads who'll graft. Light on that star or two to turn a game from what I've seen so far.

All owners and boards do. No reason why fans can't say things are mistakes. We've made some last season. Doesn't mean I don't think those running things aren't competent.

We all contribute financially to the club (obviously not on Frank’s scale!) but if if he thinks we’re better spending money elsewhere then what’s wrong with him saying that?

Hemel latic Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Is it right that two of the U18 lads (Atkinson and Okeke I think) haven't accepted the deals they were offered? Will we get fees if they rock up elsewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we would be entitled to some compensation according to European Courts ruling ( not sure if we still are governed by this or if Boris has cocked this one up as well ! ).

Shrek Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Fees for kids are based on time with the club. Atkinson was definitely at City earlier. Doubt we'll get much for any of them. Shite deal in place now for youth players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
