WORRYING....

If true... the fact carl stated in his update slade was TOLD we had enough midfield players in our squad. Slade is the manager he should call the shots on this,if he thinks we need a new midfieleder he should be backed to get him imo.

Hopefully this information aint 100percent correct because a lot of inside information we get isnt true and thats not a dig at carl or anyone else but if the information is true then its worrying imo

What if they were trying to persuade Slade to bring through some of our younger players, maybe give a chance to Wharton or O'Sullivan? :ayatollah:

Managers only think about the short term, you may have a point. Boardroom interference is not necessarily a bad thing as they are the ones that set out the objectives of the club.

I've got to the stage where I want to see youth players in the starting 11 whether they are ready or not. Sink or swim, some will make it :ayatollah:

dont see what the fuss is around this. Doesnt mean we cant bring someone in, just that someone has to go first.

Agreed, it seems the club are truly getting their house in order. Simple figures, too many midfielders in the squad so Slade has to wait to improve the quality

Not so much the message but the choice of words you must take with a pinch of salt,mind you,all the people who think Tan picks the team must have a little stiify right now.

Remember what happened last time the club let the manager sign as many players as he wanted to?

It's their job to say we've got too many players already and look after the budget in that regard. Slade just tells them who he wants.

Some good points lads.. i agree looks like their keeping the budget in mind and i agree also be great to see wharton or osullivan given a chance, or if whitts keeps upping his game or ralls moves to centre alongside dikgachoi our midfield options could be good enough for promotion anyway..

Truth be told since Slade took over the leeks from the club have stopped...nobody on this board knows for certain what was or wasn't said!!!!

personally I believe a few will go out on loan and we will maybe get one in on loan...but who knows.

All I do know is that transfer dealings seem to be done in private and they seem sensible and more long term...and long may it continue

Maybe he was told by his support staff.

"Slade mate we've got some cracking young lads in the U21's, if all goes to shit and we lose a few midfielders to injury don't worry since we've got decent cover"

I think its spot on, move people on.
If it was my money id say you bought O'Keefe and haven't use him so why should I buy you another midfielder.

On the same token people were having a go at the board for allowing Malky free resign in signing a load of expensive rubbish as they "signed it off". Sometimes they just cant win.
