ChippenhamRed Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 This shambolic situation reminds me how we meekly let Greg Cunningham sign for a rival simply because he wanted to go. All very nice of the club, but at what point do you put the club above the individual? How critical did the situation have to get? With Williams playing plenty of games at LWB I'm certain that, in hindsight, Cunningham would have got plenty of game time this season. The guy was under contract and was paid a lot of money - would it have been so unreasonable to expect him to have honoured that contract? Sure, Cunningham got his move, but what good did it do the club? We sanctioned his departure without any replacement lined up. It's this sort of decision making that makes no sense to me. Like I said, shambolic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Si Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Yes but the big wages have not been spent on any players to help the cause, unless you count Simon cox's 20 mins of play!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that he was and that unfortunately although he enjoyed his time at Swindon and wanted to return it was not going to happen due to "reasons" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should put Carrie Mathison or whatever her name is in charge of transfer negotiations. Without her medication. We'd sign some players then...

man in the middle Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 we are truly down to the bones. The problem is SC like's to have a small group of players put with that a cheap skate board of directors trying to run a championship club on a league 1 Budget and we find ourselves in this position now. Call off the game and give the win to our opponents city are unable to field a team when Saturday comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairman Mao Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 isn't it normally prudent to have two players for every position? So we are at least 6 short in the squad atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
