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. :roll:

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.

Salech

“The intention is for him [Yousef Salech] to train over the course of the break.”

“It’ll be great for him to start getting back to fitness and we will see how he progresses, but I’m still keen not to put too much pressure on him in terms of when he’ll be available,so I don’t intend to rush him
back.”

What are you two talking about?

Too much I think.

I’ve already said we need a striker and explained why BBM has said the opposite.

Clearly you are too to understand this.

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.

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.

I don' t think they where prepared for salec' s Injury but they should have been, and loaned a striker from somewhere in the world.
