Coventry another club in League 2-1 for almost 10 years no stadium for 10 years waving at us on their way past to the Premier League ? it’s comical really

Well if we keep making our managers have to find new ways of playing every summer by selling our essential players with no contingency I can see this happening every time

Great but still was under contract with us and our choice! “You can wait until next summer boy, we want to win promotion “ simple as that! Have you heard Pearson talk recently? He’s clearly annoyed by the Sale! Our team was built around him this season is effectively a rebuild finding a new way to play if you can’t see that you are blind! And yeah I’m aware he is injured right now

Well they look like they are going to be competitive this season and looking at the other clubs beating us to the punch over the last 30 years once they come up what’s stopping them doing what Luton , Bournemouth, Brentford , Blackpool,Wigan have all done before us ?

Yes clubs looking to be competitive in their league, we sold to Bournemouth not Man City, if Scott actually believed we were going to be at the top end of this league or they sold it that way to him I doubt he would of wanted to leave! We packed his bags and took less than £25m I bet

You are missing my point! I’m talking about selling our best players not spending! We have a good player every time we sell in the last year! Buck the trend roll the the dice ! This assumption a players doesn’t want to be here anymore and will upset the Apple cart is a wrong assumption! Quite the opposite them having a great final year with us could lead to a promotion and a massive deal with us or a free transfer move with a huge signing on fee this is what I’m referring to ! The trend is we have a quality player Reid, Brownhill,Webster and now Scott that our manager builds a style of play around and we all just accept amongst each other “yep he’s definitely going “ how about we keep them ? Just a thought FFP what a wonderful excuse for failure

Rovers will get there before us I really believe that

I think we sell up as soon as players show any signs of consistency at this level which resets the sitting managers game plan and playing style completely! The selling of Scott was IMO a slap in the face to Pearsons plans this season and he is venting publicly while biting his tongue at the same time !

What about Murray , Peacock, Lita if you want to go back to historical previous Sales by the Lansdown regime ! He doesn’t gamble period ! You have to gamble, be that by telling a player no and seeing how you go or pushing the boat out financially (at the right times not just to boost season ticket sales like with David James) I think cashing in on players in the last year of a deal inspite of their feelings is negatively presumptuous, lacks ambition and leaves a manager who has built a side around said players being shown the exit with an impossible challenge to compete ! Are you telling me when Bournemouth,Swansea,Luton, Brentford finished in Playoff positions or near to before their promotions they did not turn down bids for players and build? I’d say you are a liar if you do !

Still false advertising if that’s all we have to look forward to ! Maybe Conway can bag some more goal’s have a breakthrough season and we can sell him and replace him with another project

Happy clapper response here Steve take my £600 and thanks for selling our best player after he was on all the posters ?oh and here’s another £800 for my 2 kids! Top man

But Leeds and Leicester in League 1 we’re not ahead of us, only in 2012 did Leicester come back to life as a Championship force also Leeds we’re in League 1 for 5 years, I can also throw Swansea and Nottingham Forest in to this also. Financially they were not ahead of us! And that one Play off final Garry Johnson performed a miracle to get us to immediately after 9 Seasons in League 1 under Danny Wilson and Brian Tinnion is the only season we have ever even had a realistic crack at the top 6 ! We haven’t even be competitive which is the biggest thing! Not at any point have we looked good! 12th to 24th it’s not acceptable and the national media raised this madness this year we were mentioned amongst numerous media outlets as the biggest football team to never experience Premiership football and it’s ridiculous that we don’t ever even flirt with it Do we have a right to a promotion? No Do we have a right to be competitive for one ? Yes

Burnley 3 promotions Leicester and Southampton, Leeds went to League 1 and sat there for years we were ahead of those team’s financially for years they were loaning players of us in the case of Leeds ! Sounds ridiculous when you consider Leicester have won the Premiership Fa Cup and been in a Champions League quarterfinal but it is a fact we were ahead of them for a period but just stood still ? Its a pattern going back to selling Scott Murray and selling Leroy Lita one good season we sell our best players we make it easy! Are you telling me the clubs I have mentioned didn’t have players capable of playing in the Premier League that they kept around and resisted cashing in ? You don’t sell players at the first opportunity when they show signs they can take us up , you are all blind! If you are a serious club and you unearth a talent like Scott you push the boat out triple his wages and give him a sell out clause in January it’s a risk ! We have been fooled year on year made to think we can’t attract top players because we are too far south meanwhile Hull City can be promoted more than once and remain as competitive as we have ever been ?? we are losers as a fan base aswell as a club! Keep talented players who have a good season, pay the wages of top players when the manager and talented players are in place!

It’s simple Luton have been to the conference and back and beat us to promotion (making 2 play offs), Brentford League 2 and then 3 championship play off seasons (2 finals) Cardiff have been promoted twice QPR twice, Blackpool have been to the Prem another play off final I could go on and on the continuous sale of our top talents is insane year on year and we just accept it as if it’s the normal ?So glad Pearson has acknowledged what I have said in my previous posts ! The sale of Scott was totally unnecessary and destroyed our chances this season

So frustrating watching Tanner so frustrating there is a good player in there but the way he seems last ditch and his clearances always ending up with the opposition ?Williams obviously not the player he was at Wigan also just constantly off the pace 2 passengers you can’t afford to carry
