I repeat I’ve been told BBM lined players up and above turned him down and yes they agreed to back him but with players they chose and of course he turned them Down.

If he speaks out he’s Sacked

Everyone with a bit of common sense can see this is down to the board and bbm is towing the line to keep his job yet some people cant seem to grasp this fact and actually believe bbm didnt want more players

I think he would fall into a new job quite quickly.

It’s very likely that if he is staying quiet it’s for the players then?

We are closer to the bottom and can't strengthen this squad

If we finished top 2 seasons ago instead of getting relegated I'm sure we wouldn't be saying anything then either

Just like Leicester fans wouldn't be complaining if they finished top instead of getting relegated last season

But unfortunately neither of us finished top so don't get the point of your comment

You mention kanga but forget players like Bamba and Hoilett who we signed in October on a free and they both were key players for us and helped get us promoted to the prem


Who was the third signing Warnock made when he signed Bamba and Hoilett? Anyone remember?

Yeah but I just proved that they don't always turn out bad either

You can also buy players that don't work out either

so maybe no clubs should ever bring in any players just in case they don't work out?

There is players out there obviously so where are they then. Although it's down to the last resorts "free agents" does that not tell every fan something about the past window. Some will never ever grasp it "free agents" most are free for a reason. :bluescarf:

Too right.

But 50/50 aren’t odds I would want to throw by this board.

Yes they're past it like vardy and no-one will take any free agents? I agree something is not right but by same token I'm not so blind to think its down to one person? do you actually believe tan would not spend another penny on a squad desperate for additions that is only going to face a relegation fight? (That is one hell of a gamble!) Will we get additions doubt it very much now but why iis open to debate if open minded.
