And Its Smith Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 How much money has been wasted on shit old players ? Simpson, King, Mariappa, Brunt, Williams, O’Neill. Anyone else? At least £2m on those lot. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were going to come to some sort of agreement over Simpson then surely it has to be in the January window to allow player, and club the opportunity to explore other options. The first week in March is neither here nor there. Unless of course he's just had an offer from a mate over in the MLS to play over there?

Carey 6 Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 Heard he was on a pittance in footballers wages terms & absolutely nowhere near the amount quoted on that dodgy website guessing at players wages. He wasn’t going to play, but was creating a bit of an issue with the fans wondering why we played all these others in his position over him, good business to terminate early I reckon. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniro Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 The whole Simpson saga is a mystery. How many minutes did he play in total? In a position where we have been so vulnerable, it's strange how few games he got. What was the point? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 he must've done something/had a huge bust up with Pearson or someone else internally for him to be so rapidly binned off, after Pearson went through all the hassle of signing him, publicly defending him over the abuse history, and then signing him again 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezo Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 1 minute ago, Tafkarmlf said: Finally. Has to be one of our worst signings of all time. It's pretty damning but not even in the top 10 in the last 20 years IMHO. NP was clear that he was brought in to change the mentality of the playing squad. I would like to know if NP thinks he has had value out of the signing, if he has been able to change the mentality and players like Scott, Semenyo and Pring have been able to learn from him then it's probably good enough but what he has provided on the pitch (the bit we all care about) has been non existent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never recovered from WBA away, and the worst effort at a back pass I've ever seen live. Particularly after NP subbed Tanner off after 30 mins for doing exactly the same thing (albeit he got away with it at the time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hundreds of pounds a week with a sizeable bonus for being on the bench/playing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems far more likely a scenario than a 'huge bust up'. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think NP wanted him in as someone he could trust to set standards in training. Just a guess though. Why else extend then never play him? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpson, King, Mariappa, Brunt, Williams, O’Neill. Anyone else? At least £2m on those lot. Not sure I would Williams to that. I thought he was superb in his first spell, not so much in the second. Like Williams, Mariappa started well; and then like the rest of the team fell off a cliff. I agree with you though, these short term OOC players( not O'Neill of course ) demonstrate what a mess we've got ourselves into trying to plug gaps; rather than any sort of forward planning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Williams? ******* hell, he played more games at CB in his one season with us than anyone else & was decent. If we had his equivalent this season we would have let in far less.

Given that he was on the bench for a sizable part of the season; but never/rarely was bought on. That sounds like an even bigger waste of money.

Absolutely this. Pearson indicated last week he was no longer in his plans but this has only come out to explain the situation. It didn’t work out, but was hardly an Engvall type signing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klose I can see the sense and he has been decent (behind the scenes also) But Simpson was a disaster and even the most rabid NP supporters can't defend that signing surely ?
