All in all, a bit of a strange thing to put out. But I think it’s just a case of ‘ I’m still around ‘ type thing in all honesty.

Pezo Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 I’m sure he realises how bad it has been recently he can’t come out and say that though can he, same as he can’t come out and say we’re going to buy 3 players or spend £3m in January. While he is a very powerful person he doesn’t control everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are bleeding money, SL has to write a huge cheque each year. We have some of our highest paid players not making the squad and you want him to pour more money in? NP has been given the job to balance the books. We have little chance of offloading our dead wood even for nothing because nobody will match their salary. They will not clear our books for 2 to 3 years. I am not sure that SL will be so impressed by the signings made under NP to risk another chunk of money. I think we are faced with a period of, survive in the Championship (I think Reading and Derby will not be the last to get points deductions). Bring on the youngsters wait until the expensive mistakes are gone. By that time you would hope that our post Ashton management team will have put together a recruitment proposition strong enough to tempt SL to open the wallet again. I think many Championship clubs will be taking the same approach. Unless wages fall to a realistic level and clubs start to live within their means, I think the championship will be the grave yard of many formerly big clubs. It cannot go on as it is. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted December 15, 2021 Report Share Posted December 15, 2021 Well, I think we are turning the corner of recovery under Nigel Pearson albeit slower for some on here. As others have said he feels exactly the same as everyone else as he's a fan also. People who say he doesn't is a little bit disrespectful in my view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
