Graeme Miles 0 Posted July 5, 2007 WE MUST PROTEST! NOW!WHAT?!Come on people, get real. We are a club in a transition at the moment and I for one think that Grant is handling it very well. He is recieving finance and support from a board prepared to set a transfer budget, and allow Grant to top it up by selling any players he chooses (or not in the case of earnshaw!) - without taking a slice of the income. What more could you want?Worthington made some mistakes in his reign which I think has turned many people against the board and just anti-club altogether. He didn''t spend wisely at all (Helveg and co must have cost a fair bit) and never really addressed cover for the areas we required. However, without tight financial restraints in these days of football, it is too easy to ''do a leeds united'' or, perhaps an ipswich - be plunged millions into the red without a hope in sight - other than praying a cash rich, but passion poor foriegn investor comes knocking.Money is being spent - on players that our manager wants. We have a manager now that at least seems to be actively hunting players from all backgrounds, I haven''t found a summer transfer season this interesting in years!! Have a bit of belief, and lets all hope Grant gets the pieces together for the start of the season. It''s your right to vent your anger on this site (as I am!), but lets stop all this protest nonsense, its not good for morale, especially when the club doesn''t seem to be putting a foot wrong at the moment, However if you chose to protest and boycott any games, can you let me know so I can buy your ticket? I never seem able to get one anymore!!OTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vern 0 Posted July 5, 2007 Well said. The board seem to be letting PG spend money on players he wants. People will winge that we didnt cough up for Eastwood but dont forget that Jamie Cureton scored more goals last year. Is a player who costs £2m better than a player that costs £500k??. The price tag does not make him a better player. Look at the Irish boys at Reading ! Cost a few Euros and cant stop scoring......however, Emile Heskey has cost clubs millions and couldn''t hit a cows arse with a banjo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If PG felt that Eastwood was a worthwhile target and a player with a "future" then we should have splashed a bit of extra cash and got him three weeks ago before Wolves got their act together. If he does continue to improve his value would rise and we would be able to make a profit on him in a couple of years should we not get promoted ourselves. The cheapest option is not neccessarily the best value.Mark .Y. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote]Cows get very nervous when you stand behind them, in my experience. Especially when waving string instruments around. The sound that hitting a cows arse with a banjo makes is somewhat disappointing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
