McCanary 0 Posted February 1, 2008 Title says it all, really. It was GR who went shopping in the window. The board have not gone out and chosen the loan targets, so why keep blaming them for the results - or not - of his shopping.GR picks the team. Both he and LC will know exactly how they can move forward as already demonstrated since their arrival. At no time has anyone shown any evidence that the purse strings were pulled tight shut during this window. Whilst the board are responsible for many things, I don`t think they can be blamed here without any hard facts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,902 Posted February 1, 2008 The buck has to stop at the top because it has nowhere else to go.We got Grant because of the Board but we got Roeder despite them. We were 5 points adrift after Plymouth away because of the Board but we are 10 games unbeaten and in mid table despite them. We only bought in loans because of the Board but if they turn out to be good it will be despite them.The FOOTBALL club is moving forward. It''s a new era. Whether you believe its happening because of the Board or despite the Board don''t get left behind in a pool of bitterness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blahblahblah 2 Posted February 1, 2008 [quote user="C.T "]It is the boards fault when GR doesnt have any money to spend on a striker.[/quote]Is it the boards fault that the chairman of Scunthorpe values his striker for 5 million ? This being the same striker that he bought at a tribunal for £425,000 3 months ago ?What you have witnessed is a manager not wanted to be held over a barrel, and coming up with some very exciting alternatives. I can''t see what the problem is when we are (for the 723rd time) 10 games without defeat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goodness me, considering our board are perenially keeping everyone in the dark, there are an awful lot of people on here who are privy to information about our transfer budget (or apparent lack of). Seeing as you''re obviously ''flies on the wall'', perhaps you could tell us which strikers Glenn was looking at, how much money he asked for, and how much the board were prepared to give?No?Thought not.

InLambertWeTrust! 0 Posted February 1, 2008 I feel honoured that the wizard one agrees with me! Compare our dealings with any other club between the prem and league 1. We are lagging behind, Delia has to go and soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xxxx 0 Posted February 1, 2008 So we spent the whole month waiting to bid on a striker with 2 days left who was not for sale at any price , and we finally meet the Taylor valuation when its clear Brum are not selling . Anybody would think we didnt really want to spend anything at all . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charlton? Coventry? Cardiff? Sheffield Utd? Sheff Weds? All teams who have not exactly been busy in the Transfer Window. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
