The club have also told us that Oscar has had a say on all his players so which do we believe?

Quite simply not true that Poyet left Oscar with no money. Tony Bloom said our playing budget increased this season.
And the club also, I believe, confirmed they had made playing budget more flexible last season so wages and transfer kitty was in one pot.
Also that a fair chunk of transfer income would go back into playing budget.
So the budget was higher and then, by January, had wages of El Abd, Barnes and Bridcutt freed up.

Well on the strength of the players we signed last year and the ones we've signed this year, I just do not believe what we have been told.

I tend to think it shows up problems in our recruitment rather than Tony Bloom not being honest.

Lowest prem points total ever
To be fair, if you'd kept Holloway you would have been pretty bloody close to beating Derby and their 9 point talley.
TP was an inspired pick... Sadly.

I believe he is given a list drawn up by Burke and has to choose from that list. I accept I may be wrong but we were signing players when he first arrived here who he could not possibly have seen play.
I feel Oscar has had nowhere near the spending power or input that Poyet had. That is reflected in the fact that we have had one striker for most of this season which is a ridiculous handicap for a club looking to get out of this division. When we did have two Ulloa spend most that time injured, once he came back Barnes was sold.
Whilst I would not dream of criticising what Bloom has done for this club he should be taking some of the flak now being directed at Oscar, with one hand tied behind his back, in what he is expected to achieve by so many Albion fans. Alternatively we have to forget comparing how he has done in comparison to how free spending Poyet did.

It would appear next seasons Premier League would be the optimum league to join.
Any league containing:-
Palace
Burnley
Norwich/Fulham
West Brom
Swansea
Villa
Hull
+ the one that is surprisingly pooh, Newcastle/Stoke/West Ham.
is going to be hard to get relegated from

I read back on Kemy Agustein joining the club last August. Kemy states that he met Oscar and joined the club on the strength of that. Why is he out of the team, and why can't the manager, sorry head coach, sort it out? That's one lot of wages wasted.

That is a mystery I agree. What a waste.

Poyet will spend most of the time between now and Tuesday talking about what a great club Spurs are.....

Not seen such Bravery!
His M.O. is to talk up his favourite jobs BEFORE going into matches against these teams.
He'll already be planning his exit strategy.
Leeds is my reckoning if you go down.

You're dead safe! One thing I will say is fair play to you. You've deserved to stay up as you've been solid. You've not been thrashed at all by the big sides and that speaks volumes about your organisation. I still maintain, as many of your fans will admit, you were v lucky to go up - not just the play offs but the way you played 2nd half of season. But you've taken the chance / fortune and made a good go in the prem.

Fantastic reading...
"Long term I wouldn't like him at the club. I also have doubts now about giving Gus ££ to spend in Summer after the total c unt he made of himself in the Jan window."

Maybe that's down to Kemy, and not the club.
One assumes that some effort has been made to sort out whatever the issue is, so perhaps it's due to the player's actions/ inactions.
Not EVERYTHING is down to the club. Players have to take some responsibility for themselves occasionally.
