Now we're on the same wage bill, if not greater, and it looks just as far away as it did back then. Gross negligence from numerous board members and others. Not to mention apathy from us.

That's the annoying part, they told us it'd take forever to cut that gap, 20 in a row, years of dominance all this shit. We fucking cut that gap and won the league unbeaten!!! Threw it all away. Our stock was high after 55, our players were worth money then. We failed to sell the likes of Kent and Morelos when we could turn a profit, reinvest and revitalise the squad. Now we are watching those players walk away for nothing and the players that are left couldnt give a toss about the club. Guys like Kamara have completely downed tools because we kept him instead of selling. Its all business failures and its so so tiring. theblueoysterbar, NeoGeo7, VanVeenRangers and 5 others 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeRab 2,892 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 The gap does feel massive and they probably have a bigger budget this summer than we do (even before the prospect of what they could recoup in player sales) We’re going to have to get very lucky and fluke 2 or 3 Bassey type signings this summer. Both for quality now and just to keep up financially with them Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the hope that kills ye man, finally think we've rounded the corner, sorted ourselves out and back ready to regularly compete for and win trophies. Then ye get slapped back to reality, this squad just doesn't care and isn't good enough, hasn't been for some years now. A refresh in the summer, few decent signings and a good preseason and we might actually be on to something though...n there I go with the hope again.

The players have been awful all season. Better results, and albeit not beating them the performances haven't been as bad.

First half today was one of the worst I've seen from us in a while to be honest, simple mistakes and basics of the game that you'd expect junior League players to be able to handle. And then seven players not playing to the whistle and giving away a goal, I can genuinely say that's some of the worst I've seen from us. The bar is much much much higher, surely.

Madina 3,874 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 If Alfie and/or Kent are still here next season that says it all.

Guaranteed They shouldn't play again this season, nevermind being here next season (they won't be). I don't expect Kamara to be here either, Beale needs to ask him what he's wanting because I don't think it's being here, even if we sell him for less than we think, we're making a profit. Wright, I suspect we will keep, though I agree we can do much better. Madina 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladytonbear 375 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Hindsight is a wonderful thing, and of course we should have cashed in on the likes of Kent and Alfie when their stock was high, but there would have been a lot on here, myself included, who would have slated the board had they done that at the time, especially as Gerard appeared to want to keep them. I think that ruthlessness is what is currently separating us and them from a business perspective. Kyogo likely to be their player of the season, but at 28 with two years left on his contract, if they get a decent offer for him in the summer they will have no qualms in selling him.
