Big difference doing it in January when you are X amount of points clear of 3rd. Than moving up a league come summer
Not when your main Striker is out badly injured.
Plus you really believe Tan will put money in?
He’s not done this for years
I'm not saying he's going to stump much up in summer.
But he certainly wasn't going to put any in January when we were top of the league

Clearly tan isn’t willing to spend and BBM has been told this. So hes saying we don’t need anymore to keep his boss happy.
What do you want him to say? We need more players but Tan won’t buy them. Imagine the fans and tans reaction to that.
Well he’s not straight talking

You've stated he was told before getting the job he will not have money to spend. So, if he knows there's no money to spend why would he come out and tell the fans he needs players? It's just going to cause more friction with fans and the club and put extra pressure on the players we have.
He did the right thing.

Well why say he does not need strengthening or a striker etc
Just say I haven’t got a budget for one etc
You see if you look at all the previous managers under Tan who have kept saying they fully backed by Tan, when things go wrong which kept happening the Fans then turn on the Manager, as he becomes the fall guy.

Yes he was told NO MONEY for League 1
But BBM made out he was happy to play without a Striker, No Manager would be.
Would rather him say I’ve got to make do with what I have in front of me, that would earn a lot of Respect.
It seems you are losing it and have started name calling. People only do this when they are losing a debate.
It’s a football forum enjoy and don’t take it to heart.

The name calling came from your little friend first.
Yes that might gain your respect, but the majority would have kicked off about tan not willing to spend etc. (which I agree with, he should have been backed)
He fighting a losing battle. Whatever he says someone’s going to moan.

Big difference doing it in January when you are X amount of points clear of 3rd. Than moving up a league come summer
Not when your main Striker is out badly injured.
Plus you really believe Tan will put money in?
He’s not done this for years
I'm not saying he's going to stump much up in summer.
But he certainly wasn't going to put any in January when we were top of the league
Anyone who knows about football knows that you strengthen when you’re in a good position. Not having a go at you mate, more the 3 amigos.

Yeah I don't take offence mate. And I'm certainly not a tan follower. But I do get why he didn't buy in January and I'm not saying he will in summer. But being top and full of confidence that we are definitely going up I think stopped any thoughts of him spending. But everyone knows championship he is going to have to.

But that’s the time to invest with a couple of quality players who help us succeed and go on to another level.
Remember we lost our top scorer.

I fully get what you're saying. And in the end I suppose is gamble will pay off in terms of promotion.
