And he would be quite right to ignore it. He has to make the decisions for the future of our Club. He has more facts than us, more experience than us, more knowledge than us - he has shown himself to be the best of supporters of the Club. I trust his judgment more than people on here - some of...

After 18 pages - is that it ? Just a question of not having enough money to pursue all our interests ? So it's not the manager after all. Forget the banner. It was always a crap idea.

We tried to sign Wise. Is it McGhee's fault we couldn't ? I don't know - but Wise clearly considered moving to Withdean - but choose The Ricoh. Perhaps they simply offered him more money.

with the exception of Turienzo - yes. But anyway it is not a great argument - you would need to look at MA's purchases at other clubs as well. He was in a fortunate position (thankfully) in his early Albion years - can he purchase at Championship level ? I dont know the answer - I just suspect...

If MA had shown any indication that he wanted to keep Barker I understand he would have stayed. I agree. Buying players is not an exact science. MA's policy was to purchase players he knew and was familiar with, and as we were buying from Clubs like Brentford we could get them at a reasonable...

The Coca-Cola money was a slightly exceptional case. I totally agreed with the purchase - it seemed to be an investment in future tranfer revenues. Which I believe was good thinking. It is always a punt though.

CKR has done OK, Henderson is good enough, Carole is superb, and Frutos is good enough. So it is only Turienzo - and that does look a boob-boob. Buying players is not an exact science. I would add Silky Dave to MA's list, and there were others such as Jamie Cambell. And MA let Richie Barker go.

This seems to be FACT - but where did it come from ? Can it really be the other seven clubs around us have the same number of youth players, have purchased even less players than us, and when a reasonable bid is received for a player have had to sell. Out of the criticisms of McGhee - I find...

It is pointless talking specifically about salaries - we just don't know. You need to look at the accounts and see what the salary bill is. In any League - the correlation is between amount spent and position in the League. The more you spend on player wages - the higher you are in the League.

For me CKR was worth the punt, and still will be. He was not bought to score 20 goals this season, just to chip in with his bit. I can't explain Frederico - but then I don't know all the facts. The whole thing looks odd - but I dont want to sack a manager for one mis-judgement.

Danny Cullip ? Really. Of course we miss his commitment - but a quality centre-half (and there were many who doubted Danny at Championship level) who is also an organiser and team leader do not come cheap at this level. We are not in that position. McGhee has tried - Wise may have fitted the...

You know more about their squads than me. It does seem unlikely that Hull - with the money they have spent - have a weaker squad than ours. Out of interest how many products of their youth system are they playing ? Or rather having to play ?

He had made one big mistake - which other managers get away with because thay can go out and buy again. Lots of top managers have iffy buying records - but also look at Carole and Frutos to provide a bit of balance. The only spat worth commenting is is that of Knight. And it was always going...

CKR does look strong enough to play every game - it is his concentration and understanding of what is required of him that lets him down. I do not believe that anyone would say results are never that important. At times of the season they are not - as long as you know what the problem is...

Unvle Buck - McGhee is not ultimately responsible for the problems. He is attempting to manage within their restrictions. Of course he has made mistakes - and some big ones if Frederico doesn't show - but all managers do. Had he more money he could afford to make these mistakes - because you...
