I think that there will be thousands of fans disappointed at the lack of ambition shown by the club to date. There is getting the club's finances in order but it has been extreme without a penny being spent on transfer fees this summer. Very little was also spent in the January window even though we are still getting parachute payments.

The club stated in their season ticket renewal letter that it is their ambition to get promoted. That is clearly not the case because the current squad is not good enough to get promoted. If the same stance carries on throughout this window and January's then I believe crowds will be very sparse next season.

Another season ticket holder not turning up then already haha..

I though we were balancing the books how can we buy players like Gayle? Did you not know this before you renewed, it's been the plan since before Christmas?

Lack of ambition :lol: how much debt has the Club got due to "ambition" , buy now but don't worry about paying later , a ten year season ticket would make the OP one of them that dived in when Sam the scam arrived and believed all that BS .

We are back where we started.

Only that the manager is not as good as mackay. The team isnt as good. The football is worse. The core of the fanbase is gone because of tan. The club has an oriental worm on the badge. We have a red stand. We have become a joke throughout britain.

And they think going back to blue will return the club to what it was.

Too late Mr Tan Im afraid.

Only a small minority of footy fans in Britain see us a laughing stick, many empathise with our situation and think of how it could affect their club if a nutter like Tan took charge, and believe me, there are plenty out there. :ayatollah: :thumbup:

Get a grip! We have had 15 good years, we spent money, dupidnt do that much, it's about consolidation, sometimes, just like the surely have donr, you have to take a step or 2 backwards to move forward.

He'd obviously never heard of the Financial Fair Play Rules before he renewed either!

So you've been a season ticket holder for 10 years in that time we have always bought players and been spoilt with having the funds (or making debt) to do this. This is reality of how most clubs work, can we justify £6m on one player when we need 3 or 4? Is Gayle even worth £6m when players like Frazier Campbell are probably worth less? Support the team and don't have a tantrum when we're not signing players for millions, you'd never have lasted before Hammam!

Spot on this! Apart from one sensational signing he spunked the cash and thought a clutch of no hopers could compete in the Premier. Vinny equally to blame, he thought we could stay in the Premier on the cheap then sacked a duffer and brought an even bigger idiot in to do his job! Pity help us :thumbup:

No hopers?.. When malky was sacked we still had spirit, organisation and a good fighting chance of staying up. Also were above the relegation zone... It was the boards cluelessness that employed OGS and that man himself that fucked it up. Although everything for a reason, at least it ment we returned to blue.

Velikonja 2 million, Kim 2.5 million, Maynard 2.5 million, kiss 500k.

Squad of 9 was year before.

Footballs worse than under Malky :lol:

We've had shots in the past two games, for the final 20months of Malpky's range, shooting was plan B, was plan D after we took the lead.

Re: Wish I never renewed

Wed Aug 12, 2015 7:50 pm

I can't believe what I am reading.

"Tans too tight" ffs, he was open and honest about going back to blue in the respect that the quite considerable investment in players we had made was going to stop.

Oh and the football is worse now than it was under Malky, although there isn't much in it at least won under Malky in the Championship.
