But before the season started everyone was on here sayin how recruitment has gone well and they're surprised and slightly hopeful and that maybe AL has realise that British is best. Now we've lost a few in such a pitiful way, its the clowns fault.... players like missiliou and nepo would walk in to this team. Surridge, iverson, Smith, lang, all signed whilst clowns where here. But obvs they wernt his signings as they were good. No-one knows who signed who. No-one knows who signed the good ones or the bad ones. My point is, you can't all have it both ways. This season my bet is that we have scrimped on wages to have the best chance of stayin afloat. That's why we are shite. Because they have english names from English clubs, everyone thinks its a better strategy. But they are all non league standard signings. But now everyone realises that, its ALs fault for bringing players in that his mates manage. Whereas really we all, including me, where happy looking at the likes of McAleny and grant coming in. But they've proved to be shite. In my opinion AL has probably listened to the fans and made some effort to get english league experience, but because we are skint even without a world pandemic, we cant afford the good ones. That said, even the crap players we had out today, we should have done a lot better. That's where kewell has to answer it. Rowe was spectacularly crap. Everytime he got it he hoofed it over his shoulder or it bounced off him. He's better than that. Defence was so unorganised its unreal, and to think that's only 1 player short of the back 4 we had last season they should have it nailed down by now. AL is at fault over wheater. Not the reasoning as I've said before anyone damanding money when the country is going hungry can do one, but the very fact nothin has come out of the club about the situation is beyond me. AL has made his bed and rightly deserves the hounding he gets, but this few games are not his fault. The club is skint, theyve gone for a recruitment strategy that weve all been screaming for, but just haven't got enough money for a decent set of players. Then the few we have that are good, rowe, dearnley who was crap at morecambe, pierrgianni, jombati should be good at this level, whelan, McAleny, are playing the worst football theyve probably ever played. (Maybe harsh on pierrgianni that tho) so the manager then has to answer for that. In a nutshell AL has to go, but last couple games is down to players and manager because we should be doing better even with this poor squad Ps. Also harsh on whelan as he's tried his best to drag the rest of the team and imo will be our best player this season I agree with a lot of what you are saying, but our most experienced defender and club captain (if he still is) should be on the pitch. I can’t believe that it’s Kewell’s choice that he’s not even in the match day squads. Its indicative of how the hierarchy at the club treat people. It’s not right.

leeflorida 7 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Paid for Carlisle and we looked like a team challenging for play offs, Paid for Leyton Orient absolutely toothless. Glad I missed today. What the eff is happening to our club. When you think every season that we must surely get a turn in fortunes and we go lower and lower, The current squad doesn't look too bad on paper but just are not turning up on the pitch. Are they not getting paid again? Worst we have ever been. WTF! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not holding him up as the answer to everything. He’s definitely not! I was underwhelmed when he first came to the club. I do think that he could improve the defence though. The owner(s) seem to be happy to potentially shoot themselves in the foot though in order to prove a point to anyone who doesn’t do things their way. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He should be on the pitch ability wise. But he's off the pitch because of his own doin not the owners. I'm lucky enough to work in a hospital so I've kept my job. But a lot of people didn't. Or had to take pay cuts etc. So him rejecting furlough is disgusting imo and until he sees his wrongs for what they were I agree that he shouldn't play. Can you imagine what your employers would do if you refused furlough? You'd be let go in a heartbeat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway he didn’t refuse it - the club told him they would top up and then didnt. If they said they would and then went back on that they are in the wrong whether you like it or not Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You'd be let go in a heartbeat The problem is furlough only pays a maximum of £2000 a month, which I'm guessing is a lot less than his basic salary. If I had a contract saying I was on x amount a week. I'd expect to be paid that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He desperately needs a McCann alongside him asap. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
