yellow_belly 226 Posted July 4, 2020 Mr Webber has previously stated that he will be off to be a big shot overseas in a couple of years. This season he has been useless. Not a single positive. perhaps it is time to let him go a year earlier than his plan?! Time for a different approach? (Oh and definitely time for Farke to leave. Even the longest reign since Worthington has to end one day. That day being Independence Day 2020!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clint 221 Posted July 4, 2020 He also has a tendency to mug off the fans as well, very arrogant. Gets away with it when all’s going well but both him and Farke are lucky we’re BCD! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He’s a positive but also an injury liability - which is why he was so cheap- and the only defender we purchased on promotion in an area that needed attention.  No one has ever doubted his ability when fit, but 15 games for a side weak in defence isn’t great.  Hopefully he’ll fare better next season.

TeemuVanBasten 3,327 Posted July 4, 2020 At last... somebody is making this about Webber instead of about Farke. Personally I just hope he can pull another great transfer window out of the bag like summer 18, if he doesn't then sure... bye. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,290 Posted July 4, 2020 I don’t want Webber to go because it will leave us with our clueless board running things but he’s had a bad season as well and needs to prove last season was not a fluke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,290 Posted July 4, 2020 It should really be about the owners rather than Webber or Farke. They are ultimately the ones holding us back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,092 Posted July 4, 2020 He's already said he's going to leave. If he goes on his own accord then perhaps he will arrange a replacement. Assuming of course the club wants to retain that role, which it might not be able to afford to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the worst post that I have seen in a long time. Yes, the transfer business done this season has largely contributed to our failures but our club is in a much, much healthier place than when he first arrived. He has held his hands up publicly and I'm sure that he'll learn from this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They don't have the kind of money needed to make us stronger so unless they are deliberately avoiding selling the club (which I doubt) then what choice do they have. People forget that winning the Championship and getting PL money doesn't mean there is suddenly £100m to spend as costs go up as well. Villa and Sheff Utd have some seriously wealthy owners, we don't so we'll have to do it our way, which unfortunately is the hard way. There is a little bit of me that hopes they soon hand over reigns to Tom and he sees the £'s in front of his eyes and sells as fast as humanly possible.

They absolutely, 100% patently are deliberately avoiding selling the club because they want to keep their train set.  once it goes to Tom he will get dogs abuse as he won’t benefit from the inexplicable force field that seems to make Delia immune from criticism. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
