Mr Popodopolous Posted May 6 Report Share Posted May 6 9 hours ago, GrahamC said: SL is absolutely brilliant at investing too much at the wrong time (when GJ was randomly signing striker after striker towards his end) & of course the LJ/Ashton era then not investing enough (GJ’s playoff final season, Nige earlier on in this one). Yes, SL often, persistently in fact backs the wrong horse at the wrong time. It's incredible really. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep he never learns, you’d think with all the experience we have at the club at the moment he’d be taking some serious advice’ oh hang on a minute. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can but hope that the opportunity to build on a solid base is taken this summer, to salvage it as best we can. I'm hoping.. *New contact for James *New contract for Williams *New contract for Conway or at worst wait and go to Tribunal. *Twine or other 10 and striker. *Keep anyone else who is key, stand firm. Plus without going nuts if we can get depth to improve the position a bit, we go for it. Still think a 4th CB but then I'm pro 4-3-3 so maybe I'm out of touch. Well one of these is down, and I fear a 2nd.. Albeit Williams going maybe out of our hands but to lose both.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing on fee, location ie back to the North West..security as in longer contract? Edited May 21 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think joe felt a little undervalued’ the club made it really clear nothing was going to be offered until the end of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My impression is that he’s had more playing time under Manning than he had under Pearson. There was a very long period when Pearson was saying that Williams couldn’t be risked for anything like 90 minutes. I’m not sure that Williams has justification for feeling undervalued, given how supportive the club appeared to be about his persistent injury problems.

There’s an argument the club didn’t handle joes original injury very well’ he’s been fit for 18 months now . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, as I’ve said before…with the club taking this approach, they’ve left themselves wide open to him getting “better” (not just financial) offers elsewhere. Nor does he have to rush into a decision. Club can withdraw offer of course after a set period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 On 05/05/2024 at 16:25, Cidre Monita said: Yes Graham you are correct it is our club and means a hell of a lot to us all. However it’s now got to the point where I think that buying season cards, or putting any money into the coffers is helping prop up the Lansdown regime. Not really. Like most PL and Championship clubs, the majority of our income doesn't come from fans. Lansdown would make bigger losses if fewer people attended but they wouldn't be a staggering blow to a bloke who is a billionaire. He wants to sell up. What stops his departure is the price he wants for what is at present only a very modestly successful project. Making it less successful won't speed his leaving the club.

He certainly wasn't when it really mattered ie. the January window. A shame cos we could've been top 2 instead of 4th I remember Lansdown asking him if he needed an extra striker at the time to which johnson Sn said at the time im happy with my family now johnson jr he had his goldmine to spend and mostly purchased crap players except Brownhill and webster .
