Look, if we tried building Andy up for a change, instead of cutting him down all the time, he would feel ten feet tall (or 10'6" if he writes it up).

I think that if anything will cause us going down it'll be Cotts' lack of realistic targets in the 2 transfer windows. Our best player (IMO) Kodjia Cotterill probably wasn't even sure about signing.

I don't see how you can slate Cotterill for being unrealistic then even think we have a chance of getting the Angers manager. Unless this is a whoosh moment.

RedRock Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Even the Slags has signed someone now! Can someone close to Cotts tell him that we're becoming the laughing stock of English football and if he hasn't got a Plan B to move on quickly. I've lost it with him now, as much as I love his formation, style of play, what he did for us last season, 'I'm a winner' personality... the fact that he had since last April to develop a team/squad capable of keeping us in the Championship and failed abysmally to achieve that means it's time to move on. We clearly have neither a realistic or rational transfer strategy and seemingly, no sense of urgency either. For **** sake, we can't wait until the end of the transfer window to pick up any scraps from the Championship. Day 1 of the window was time to reveal your signings. You and whoever, ****** up the Summer and Autumn Windows and you're messing this one up as well. A message to the Communications Department also, stop him stating the bleeding obvious.... 'the January window is the hardest to get players in', 'we haven't got enough players to rotate' etc..we know that and knew it in the Summer. This kind of stuff just serves to wind supporters up even more. Your tweet that 'Cotts has abandoned hope of signing Clough' about 1 hour ago demonstrates about the same level of incompetence and disrespect of supporters. Someone get a grip at the Club FFS!

Alex#40 Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 It really is hard to work out what is really going on here. We have been categorically told we are not losing out on these players for any money reasons, and from what I've been told about the Gray deal that is true. We are clearly bidding for very good players in Gray, Gayle, Clough etc but they are in no way realistic, especially given our current position and therefore attractiveness to players. It seems to me that Cotterill's constant reference to not being able to compete etc is a shot at the board, but other comments from SL etc seem to contradict that. From the Cotterill side of things you can't really moan about players but then refuse to (a) use anyone from the U21s to even fill a bench place (b) Not use all members of the squad you have and (c) continue to only identify players that very unrealistic. The time to buy the likes of Dack and Bradshaw was the summer as now we're far from attractive to anyone at the top of League One as we could well swap places. Every time I hear Cotts or SL talk they seem to be taking shots at each other's handling of the transfers. If things have broken down to that level then surely he'd be gone by now? What ever the reason though if we don't sign a minimum of four players before the window closes we are drastically undermanned irrespective of their talents. It needs bodies, quality and experience and that costs money, especially in January. Time to look at realistic targets, pay over the odds if necessary and get them in the door. We can have our 24 year old policy etc but a fat lot of good that'll do us in league one opening a new ground at home to Rochdale with the Gas with us in that division. These 16 days are as big in this club's recent history as I can remember. We've got to act and we've got to act now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snufflelufagus Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 In my opinion I recon this scenario could have happened in the summer. A fee of about £2.5million was agreed for Harry Maguire in addition a fee of about £4.5million was agreed for Gray. In the case of HM the player had accepted personal terms. Then the holiday season started so SC and KB both left for holiday. Whilst away JP and possibly one other though they could get a better deal for HM so went back and then offered £1.5million the selling team got slightly cross about this and then changed the fee to £4 million. A similar process happened with player AG...............though he hadn't at the time accepted personal terms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Jordan Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Why didn't we just keep JET and sign Matt Smith. Then we wouldn't have spent all season chasing unrealistic targets and would have had two proven forward options that are settled into our team. I'll just never understand...
