PlayItLivo Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 6 minutes ago, JohnG123 said: Just my humble opinion if all this is true... one thing Donaldson can do is hold the ball up. At present in all the games I have watched no one as managed to do this consistently. Who knows could be a master stroke.............. Shot to pieces is how Bradford fans have described him. It’s such a Latics signing. Couldn’t get him when he was in his prime and lost out to Brentford and end up getting him 10 years later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 We won't sign Donaldson, another Dean Hutchings special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s our most gifted player technically. We haven’t used him as much as we should have. It’s obvious he will be off in May unfortunately anyway so to sell him for a fee now is a no brainer.

Londonboy Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Be interesting to hear what Kewell has to say about this when it's confirmed. My guess it will be "we got a good offer...blah blah blah and we have a quality replacement lined up" Will confirm he is the puppet the Lemmy's want. They are probably writing his script now!

It's only a no brainer if you source an adequate replacement. This just smacks of yet again trying to limp through to the end of the season looking to save a few quid.

Mayfield Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Surely a defining moment in the tenure of our current chairman and owner. Less than auspicious beginnings, considerable and most would testify unnecessary upset and damage to good will and relationship with supporters. The recent relative stability and lack of embarrassing disputes with the landlord or HMRC has been appreciated. Any fragile optimism or reason to have faith will be shattered if this episode isn't handled properly. Some argue Danny was always leaving, so make a smart business decision, maybe that's correct, I retain the irrational outlook of a Latics supporter, not an accountant. Appreciate there may be unbearable financial pressure on the owner, so any good offer on a player might be worth taking. Comes down to how this is managed and communicated. A credible replacement would help, or at least a statement to say how this is in the best interests of the club, meaning viability of the business and safeguarding for staff. I don't expect to see a suitably gifted player coming in or this transaction enabling the purchase of the North Stand, but hey ho we live in hope ....

andy_b_100 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 My mate who is a Bradford supporter says deal is done ........ and also mentioned Donaldson, maybe we could use the Tardis on him and take him back to 2011 ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not defining - the dozens of mismanaged incidents that have occurred under their watch has shown them for what they are. This is just the latest cock-up and it'll keep happening. And it seems they don't care, because they demonstrate a complete unwillingness to learn from their mistakes. In the TBPAS podcast, Karl Evans said they're going no-where because who (apart from them) would want to "buy a pitch and badge"? We're knackered. I can't get riled by it anymore, because the future just seems inevitable.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emcee_Latic Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 As long as Mo is involved with recruitment (and probably interfering in team selection) we've no chance. He's never been involved in the team management in his live until he came here. By his own admission, he thinks that his recruitment is successful. If he's that good, how can that fuckwit not see the gaping hole in midfield that the rest of us amateurs can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 If they haven't got the money to fund a team to get us out of this division they should swallow their pride and leave as abject failures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Og Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I think I referred to the thought of recruiting well enough in this window to have a crack at the play offs as being a fantasy earlier in this thread. I'll stick with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that was unbelievable, but with this owner nothing is logical. A team that could actually pass a ball here, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
