If Stuart Webber is such a football-finance genius......

[Jezzard 16]

as he explains at every opportunity, why has he settled for a season of re-building whilst maintaining one of the highest paid squads in the league? His permanent signings have on the whole been cheap and not up to standard. If the objective was to come tenth and re-build for some non-explicit future, why pay millions in wages to Oliveira, Pinto, Naismith, Klose, Pritchard, Jerome, etc. and loose out on several million in transfer fees when we sell/ release these guys next summer? The alternative, more ambitious and indeed pragmatic approach would have been to spend a little more on better players, a striker and a better manager (like Heckingbottom or even keep Irvine), and aim to be as good as, er Sheffield Utd, Cardiff and Bristol City in what is final chance of promotion for many years. Sure we can fire-sell our high earners in January, but then we''ve paid 6 months of wages and will receive less in a fire sale.

This guy is a one trick pony who employed a "look at me" strategy at a club where is doesn''t really matter where they finish in Championship or League 1. HUFC did great and scraped through the play offs after he''d left, but it was naive to think he''d get that lucky again...there''s a limit to the talent in Bundesliga zwei drei vier.

2why pay millions in wages to Oliveira, Pinto, Naismith, Klose,

Pritchard, Jerome, etc. and loose out on several million in transfer

fees when we sell/ release these guys next summer?"Possibly because they are under contract - as is usually the caseNone of those will be released as it is only Tettey and Hoolahan who are out of contract/You can not simply sell a plyer as you would sell shares. There has to be a buyer, and if the offer is not high enough it would actually be the case of "loose out on several million in transfer

fees"(probably best next time to think it through first)

Think I''ve given it sufficient thought....so there weren''t offers for Pritchard, Klose and Oliveira in the summer? And next summer we can expect higher offers (plus their wage costs for this seasons) for them when they''ve finished mid-table in the championship with one year less left on their contract....how is any one of these players going to be worth more next summer?

You must be joking, we are now rated as a mid table champ club/ which we are.

Webber made the most when his stock was high unless he turns this club around he will be at a low club again trying to make a name for himself

all the money in football if he was that good and such a genius do you think he would be here ??

[Herman 9,713]

Jesus. He''s only been here for a few months and was tasked with a massive overhaul of the club. If you were expecting instant results then you can hardly make negative comments about someone else''s genius.

Since Mr Webber''s been appointed, has he done more for this club than Mr 6 month Moxey?
