What is going on at our football club?.........

If it falls through at Burnley he can forget about coming here. Big nosed ****.

Well, excuse the pun, but wouldn't that be cutting off your nose to spite your face? He's the perfect, PROVEN, signing that we need for a position that we currently desperately need filling.

I assume everyone on here still just speculating as to what's actually happened to him then?

The message re buckleys sale simply said he sold thanks Buckley. Where was the reassurance that the players will be replaced with quality and we will be pushing for playoffs ASAP. Yes was said at forum re will be happy with squad but none of the clubs targets are being gained and fans need reassurance at times like these. This is a business and we are the customers. This board doesn't suggest high percentage customer satisfaction.

All will be well.

He could rot in Wolves reserves a far as I'm concerned. I want players that want to play for us not obsessed with making as much money as possible. Let's face it Burnley will be in the championship next season so it's not all ambition. **** him, I didn't rate him anyway.

I think we need someone from the club to say something before the next home game and maybe restate what is the club policy now in black and white

Saturday could be interesting if the result goes against us.

Could the fans frustration start to become 'vocal' towards the likes of Bloom, Barber and Burke ??

I'm going to brum and I won't be happy if I see what I think I'm going to see.

Yes, it will happen before, during and after the game.

I think thou dost protest too much Playing ability wise he's clearly just what we need, and you know it.

Point taken though - I was glad to see Bridcutt do one in the end, but he was/is class nonetheless. There's clearly no such thing as unconditional love from us football fans

I think I probably am on the 'licker list' compared to most on here. I did have an accident when I read about Ward, but I've had a shower and changed the sheets and all is well again. I'm pissed off with how this transfer window's going, as I'm sure the 3Bs are. And I agree about the first 5+ games that will cost us points. But I expect we'll either make some decent signings, or get some decent players in on loan and we'll end up playing some good football, which is dreamland compared to some of the opinions on here.

Great post. Exactly where I am.

I am actually ok with everything, though I have wobbled. I do feel we will struggle this year, but this does not lessen my enjoyment nor passion for the club. Never thought I was supporting man u, all I want is a team that puts its blood on the field and fellow fans that appreciate it. Whether we are fighting relegation from league 1 (as we were) or the PL (someday) doesn't matter. I hope this does not make me complacent nor passive, just aware of where my passion comes from - not success but the pursuit of it.

That said the results of our recruitment efforts surely are not meeting expectations and I trust we are learning from this and will make the necessary changes.

Not sure if this post was worthy of changing my lurking habit, but felt the need to comment.

They'll have to be some pretty f@cking stellar signings.

 

[8th battalion East Lancs]

You left out Barnes £750k

According to quite a few supposedly In The Know(ers), some independent some Burnley connected, it was £450,000.

It may have risen since with promotion though.

 

[bha-since-1985]

Can no one see the pattern here... Poyet, Garcia, all our best players leave and we get left with a poor squad, money, but now no one wants in at the club. I'm not going to say anything about hypia, he's too unproven to mention yet, though had a pretty poor record at Leverkusen when solely in charge. There's a trend going on here though.. Yes bloom, it's your club, but if you want to be manager, appoint yourself as manager. If not, leave it the **** alone and let the manager do their job.

No one of real quality wants to come here surely this is obvious to everyone by now.

Everyone seems to be talking as if Ward to Burnley is a done deal.

Can anyone confirm please with any 'official' links?, as I can't find any. Or do I just believe the Argus?

I'm not saying it's bullshit, just curious if it's actually been officially confirmed anywhere.

Lancashire Telegraph think it is a done deal , Wolves apparently accepted bids from both clubs with Ward on his way down for a medical before turning back and heading up north.

I'm guessing there was a promotion clause in the deal , £450k up front and £300k paid out in May/June.

that would suggest we didnt have a good enough first XI, when we finished 6. losing Ulloa is certainly a blow, but i dont see how losing a sick note, a player 6 months ago, and an admittedly very good defender turns us into a relegation candidate.

Our squad was frail last season, we've since lost 1st,2nd and 3rd placed players for our POTS and our top goal scorer and Will Buckley, the window before we lost our most influential player in Bridcutt, a dependable centre back and the marmite man Barnes, none have as yet been replaced sufficiently apart from possibly Hughes for Upson, but that's going to take some doing. This squad is horrendously weak.

 

[Commander]

Absolute joke, never been so disillusioned as I am now, and it was at the heart of the protests all those years ago, at least then we could do something

I would suggest that says something about you.

More importantly, what the f**k was wrong with the original thread title? It seems you can be casually racist, sexist and homophobic but saying profanity is banned, takes the Pi**

Cheer up chaps - we are on a winning streak!
