If a manager is going to moan about the budget (and injuries) publicly

It is not even a moan - he is just stating a fact. We have had too many key players out with long term/recurring injuries. Plus the headline is misleading - he is not saying we cannot get into the play offs, he is saying with a deeper squad we would be there already.

True, maybe I should have said comment?

He does seem to conduct himself very well. Seems a very honourable man.

What he means is: "The club didn't splash the cash on a decent second striker".

Or "I have my hands tied with the amount of money I have in comparison to most of the clubs around us, yet still some fans DEMAND a top six place"

I'd like to see Bournemouth's finances compared with ours.

They'll get the biggest fine in FFP history ( along with Forest and QPR ).

Oh, maybe the FL will roll over and not fine anyone afterall.

Once again the Argus at its best.....

Where an earth do they get the headlines from ? I've read that piece a few times and still can't see where Oscar says this squad won't get into the play offs ???

Basically he is saying with a deeper squad we would have already been there !!

Setting expectations for tomorrow, that's all.

The more cynical fan would say he's getting his excuses in early.

I am not a cynic.

It's called limiting expectations.

But in my view he is also just being honest and realistic.

Still Somewhere in Sussex!
Yet we can beat the team will probably one of the biggest budgets in the division not once, but twice this season!!
And take 4 points off Q.P.R., a team with an unlimited budget!
Really hoping Oscar can see past "his ceiling" and take us higher!
If the result is crap tomorrow, expect NSC meltdown :whistle:

That is EXACTLY what Oscar is saying. Well sort, of. That if we hadn't been so ridiculously unlucky with injuries this season, then we should/would already be sitting pretty in the top 6.

And I think he's right.

It's slightly disappointing that, on the eve of our biggest game of the season, this headline/article combo has been published. It's a time for all associated with the club to pull together. We need the fans to be backing Oscar and the team, not thinking "If Oscar doesn't like what he's got, he can do one..." or similar.

Get the Amex properly rocking tomorrow, be the 12th man and show that we are a top 6 team.
