Tomo Given you don't know the truth either, how can you call others deluded. Most explanations have some degree of merit. Personally, I think that SL is unable to identify good value, promising players and so has to focus on high risk /high cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Grim Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Preston paying ridiculous wages? MK? There's a lot of clubs in this league who haven't got bags of money but they seem to be coping. I'd say the deluded few are the ones defending the inexcusable. He is out of his depth. Performances are dire, especially away from home and things don't look like changing. I can't remember him making any changes to try and influence a game. We are going down without a fight and people seem happy for this to continue. Yes not completely blameless, but needs to take his fair share. The silence from the club is remarkable. We are a sinking ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoons Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 In my opinion the transfer situation is a massive cock up involving SC, KB, KD, JL, SL. Problem being SC took all the praise two summers ago before our successful league1 campaign, regarding new transfer strategy, signing players early etc so he needs to take stick when it goes bad. But not all his fault. But that aside he needs to do ten times better with what hes got and tactics etc. His stubbornness and use of substitution's is embarrassing, whilst he sees loyalty as a strength I see it as weakness. If and its a big if, there is a better manger out there ( e.g Pearson) I would replace him now. But only because I think hes to narrow minded. my fear now is SL might be reluctant to back SC in transfer window 100% as he has in back of his mind he might sack him?? all round mess! But SC for me takes a good 75% of the blame for this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make a good point and I also think they are all to blame in some way , but ultimately it is Lansdown who must hold his hands up .If Cotts messed up in the summer so badly he should have sacked him ..If like most think me included the tactics are wrong, ...get someone else in....if there is money to spend let your manager spend it including competitive wages...if the manager still does not ..sack him...! And get someone else in...You cannot stand still in football the rest pass you by to quickly.sadly not only have we stood still we have gone backwards. ...Balls is your court Mr Lansdown.

You should of been sitting where I was sitting on Boxing Day, there were plenty of them already!!! I wasn't in that camp before, but I am getting increasingly frustrated with the man, I can't listen to his pre-match / post-match interviews, as we are fed the same old rubbsish, everyone's fault except his! Well at this moment in times he is solely responsible for the mess that we are in, he is the only one that can change things on the pitch, and the only one who has final say on transfers, as well all know if he doesn't like them, they won't play! I don't swallow the whole story about Bennett, saying he only went elsewhere for more money. He went elsewhere as he would be playing for a team much higher than us, for a manager he respects, and one that won't play him in a position that is alien to him! For christ sake SC has been banging on about players needed since 2nd Sept, that being the case I would of expected him to have a list as long as your arm of potential targets, that have been scouted to hand to the board, but we all know that is not the case!!! Of course we have to work within a budget, it's not as though we are targeting the Messi's/Ronaldo's of this world! I think SC needs to set his sights a little lower, it's not as though we are the only club having to do that, and they all seem to be able to bring someone in! But no, we have to wait until the end of the window, that is when our work can be done, yeah cause that plan worked so well in the summer!!!

Yes it is Tom, because the manager clearly doesn't rate the players supplied. When Cotts came here, he said quite clearly that his condition of employment is he has complete control over the playing side. SL either explicitly or implicitly accepted that. There are people on here have been blaming the manager and eventually it will be clear it is not his fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only deluded ones are the ones who delude themselves into thinking they know better than everyone else without any justification. The fact is, we don't know who is at fault and it is likely a combination of more than one person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
