I disagree. He's basically saying judge me in three years once I have learnt about The Championship and got the players I want at the club to play the way I want. Seems sensible to me?

In a list, what players do you think need replacing this summer? And are the players who maybe disappointed with the lack of players coming in also on the replacement list?

Obviously agree. I just can't remember in recent times so many players speaking so negatively about transfer policy in public.

In this day and age of modern football do you think that is a realistic expectation from the manager? 3 years and he still might get it right, that is an awfully long time to wait to see if he can get it right.

There isn't anything that a couple of wins won't put right.
So we had a Poyet five year project and an Oscar three year project. I guessing when Oscar is sacked the new manager will have a two year project ? All these projects are fine and dandy but they shouldn't be based around a managers tenure - if they are then we should have kept Gus.

It's really strange. For what it's worth I like the look of kemy in his brief appearances so far, he's something completely different to anything else we have in the squad creatively. but oscar clearly doesn't rate him, or something in his game that he wants changing.

He would say that though, wouldn't he, despite the fact that he won't be given three years.

Once everyone has had a good moan about today's result that is basically the truth.
Modern football innit.

Normally I would agree. Personally I think there's something no quite right behind the scenes that is still stemming back from Gus's time at the club. Somewhat of a disconnect between first team squad and coaching staff and Burke/Bloom. I hope I'm wrong.

In answer to your question and bearing in mind the sort of spending we are likely to be making being the Albion, (We are not going to be the biggest spenders), the minimum I would like to hope is:
Bridcutt, (Yes, I know we've got Ince but can he stay consistent for the rest of the season? We, at the very least, need a decent 2nd for this role.)
Crofts. (If Stephens doesn't fill them boots.)
Buckley. (A shell of a player he was when he joined us. And even then, his moments of brilliance were only moments. Generally not consistent enough throughout his Albion career.)
Lopez. (See above with perhaps a little more than just "moments of brilliance")
I'd like to say more, but we clearly ain't a moneybags club...

Bear in mind that QPR and Forrest's spending has very little to which their attendances.
FFP or not, we're still losing 8m a year.

I'm not so sure, there is definitely unrest within the players, the interviews that Bruno and Ward gave were indicative of this, and Kemy's tweets add weight to matter. A lot of fans were unhappy by the apparent lack of investment in the window, we're falling behind in the play off race, we haven't played particularly well all season and there isn't anything to suggest that's about to change.

Get rid of the second best manager the club have ever had.Sell off your best players,but don't re-invest the money and what do you really expect
Err, he asked to leave 2 months before the end of last season.

I guess for the first year of ffp it's all about finding the loopholes.
Haven't we got accountants that can find the loopholes too?

Finding the loopholes is all well and good, but someone still has to fund the debts. You can't blame Bloom for wanting to minimise the money he puts in to as little as a cool 8m a year.

It may be that Oscar was told that money would not be available for a quick push and that the club was not expecting him to perform miracles in the first season; perhaps he was given some idea of the business plan that wanted him to stabilise things and build gradually over a three year period? Yes - if we look like relegation fodder then he's gone, but we're in a pretty healthy position considering the end of season turmoil, a series of injuries and having lost some of our established players in the transfer window.

at this moment in time i don't think the majority of unhappiness stems from not spending, it's more to do with the very lacklustre football on display.
Edit. He also said he has an obsession with attacking football

The people who are moaning about sacking Poyet are deluding themselves if they think he would be here right now if that hadn't happened.
