Transfer rumours !

Breadman wrote:In today's BN Freedman is making noises along the lines of "We've spent the Summer perfecting a system which sees us play two strikers, but given that I don't rate Davies and I think Wilkinson isn't anywhere near good enough yet, we've had to abandon our plans and go back to Beckford on his own up front."

We will get mullered by Watford.

And obviously he knows his players far better than I ever could, but if you've spent time developing a new system, why not give it a go with the players you've got, rather than abandoning it before you've given it a chance?

Throw Wilkinson in and see how he does.

Where's the harm in that?

I heard that today, would be a master stroke from Freedman, but he's too old fashioned .

No I don't Carrs. I know what the assumption used to justify the 2012/13 financial statements was, but have no idea what the current objectives or budgets are - although all the indicators are that the manager hasn't been given the budget to compete for promotion.

You're attempting to imply that the club has given the manager sufficient funds to assemble a team that can get to the premiership this season which is patently untrue.

You're also implying that the manager and chairman have publicly stated that promotion is the objective for this season - as opposed to a nice to have if we can do it on a shoestring. And the only "evidence" for this is a minor statement of objectives in an outdated document when of course those objectives could have changed countless times in the intervening period.

Like you, I don't like the situation we're in, but fail to see how putting words into the manager's mouth can help - especially as the manager is busy getting on with dealing with reality as far as I can tell.

Lusty

You say I assume and imply. I showed you publically available truth. You based on your comments on your own incorrect ability to read my mind.

Leave it there walk away and prey we have a club this time next year.

Does that make me (A) a shit fan, (B) old and out of touch or (C) both?
