You clearly don't understand the business side of football. If you think you could do better job or know better than those in charge, you sir, are what we call, deluded.

Every post of yours is negative and I feel so sorry for you that you feel that way about the club you claim to 'support'.

I'm intrigued to know, are you a season ticket holder by any chance? This is not a loaded questions, I am curious to know if you are, why do you pay for your season ticket feeling so negative towards the product you are buying?
I understand people are only proper supporters if they get all starry eyed and agree with the next rule the club decide to introduce to suck more money out it’s fan base. Love the club do I like the way it has started to treat its ‘customers’ not really.

Not sure why you are asking personal questions, to answer yes we have more than one ST in our household.

So your reply is go and support Man City :facepalm: A few examples for you Japanese winger £4m, the striker at Stoke that played a couple of games £8m, The new polish kid £8m, Cacedio £4m, If this supposed wonder kid comes in £7m, Heck £4m that’s £34m on players that may or may not kick a ball in the PL for the Albion. Every club tries to buy success on one level or another. The idea you think we are doing it on the cheap is quite amusing. Once In a while you may get a BW scenario a decent player who played one season for us before being sold for huge profit as I said before it’s player farming.

and it has always been like this :shrug:

It's nothing to do with getting all "starry eyed". If you, or anyone else, can't see what Tony Bloom has done, and continues to do, for the club, then there i can't help.

To suggest that they sit around the table in the board room, thinking of cunning ways to syphen money from the fans is ridiculous in my opinion.

Surely the easiest way to make guaranteed money from "customers" would be to hike the season tickets up? I'm sure we have had a price freeze last season and this season?

I was not being personal so I apologise if it came across that way.

The point I was trying to make was you are constantly negative about a product you are spending a considerable amount of money on a season. I was trying to figure out the rational of it as it doesn't make sense.

Surely if you are so un happy with something, you wouldn't purchase it in the first place? That's my rational on it.

Not only that, but keep going back again and again, week after week, month after month and year after year.

Not very exciting is it, player farming whilst the first team struggle to score more than one goal a game.

yep, its so boring, 9th in the premier league, players, coaches and management all doing so well we are constantly worried about poachers, improvement from the same squad year on year just as the management predicted. The sedative effect of following this team, I can barely keep my eyes open.

62 hours until deadline.

I'd like the Enciso deal done, but don't think much else will happen.

The remaining exciting drama is the will-he-won't-he Dan Burn transfer. And would he be replaced ?

And will someone find the £50 million for Bissouma ?

Do Scherpen, Roberts and Leonard go on loan ?

We will be mighty short of goalkeepers if Scherpen goes as McGill has only played 1 league game for Crawley.

Which is why the tallest man in the universe shouldn’t be allowed to leave. And the second tallest should be grateful he is not being paid by murderers

Unfortunately, you are not taking into account the fact that some fans LIKE to moan, it has always been such and always will.

Ignore or put on ignore, as you are wasting your valuable time trying to persuade!

Words fail me :facepalm:

WE'RE NINTH IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE FFS. The best run club across all English leagues I would suggest, particularly in terms of long term sustainability. Hordes of incredibly exciting youngsters coming through, Moder, Lamptey, Alzate, White, Mac just the tip of the iceberg. And you'd rather we spunk all our annual transfer budget on a single 'marquee' striker who may or probably more likely, may not, work out (for warning examples see recently Brewster, Havertz, Silva, Tosun, Lukaku, Joelinton, Pepe, and further back Jo, Benteke, Morata, Soldado, Balotelli, Di Maria...)

£50 million in for White and we are worried about losing £50k on unsold tickets ?????

The last set of published accounts (2019/20) showed a loss of £67m and a loss of £21m the year before. There has to be some prudence by club management in their decision making.

I expect Newcastle’s scatter gun approach will end up with Nat Phillips from Liverpool.

Burn would do well to look at Phillips as an example of what could wrong if he were at Newcastle. Bought as a stop gap and jettisoned if they stay up..

Yea I get they like to moan, I would suggest it not just on here they are moaners, but also away from football and their lives must be pretty negative, which I find sad.

I don't have no one on ignore as people genuinely don't get to me with comments posted on a forum. I just smirk to myself and wish them happiness in their lonely, sad life's.

Are you sure?

Have you emailed Barber?

Funny how Maupay has scored twice as many goals as Toney this season despite playing in less games!!

Are there two different Toneys ???

Toney is a great example of us not going for it when we probably should have. You can bet Brentford will AT LEAST double the money they spent on him.

Clever non-investment by us? I think not.
Swanny is wrong. And, yes, we were idiots not to sign Toney. And, yes, he is a risk (even now, more so when we should have signed him).
11 million in the summer and we backed down; chasing another young striker we never had much of a chance of signing at over £20m instead.

We would be lucky to get Toney for double his summer price now; good recruitment? Obviously no
He is perfect for us. He would score a lot more with our supply line and can you imagine Maupay and Tross feeding off his hold up play?
We have to be smart. Obviously. Avoiding re-signing Welbs. Avoiding **** ups like Toney whilst chasing Spanish league kids for more than double the money. Selling to buy if we have to.

Because [MENTION=1647]b.w.2.[/MENTION]'s one sounds like he would storm the Premier :wink:

Don’t quite think I said go all in on one player but do carry on ranting. We are still missing shed loads of chances a couple of different options upfront may fix that, a bit of competition up front is healthy. Unless you think we shouldn’t be scoring more than we do and that would be your opinion fair enough. People are way to easily offended on here. Anyway I’m on having a great time in Prague right now enjoy your weekend and chill.

To help you chill out bit....

We are currently 9th. If the league table was recalibrated on the basis of xG, we'd be 8th. In other words, if we'd scored the goals we apparently should have done, we'd be one place higher in the league. Our leading scorer is actually outscoring his xG. We could obviously have spent big to rectify our problem, and have the luxury of sitting in 8th place, but the club is looking at long-term sustainability instead.
