Worrying times these but what club would you compare us to.
The worse I can think of is Blackpool.
The best would be say someone like Norwich stagnate for a few years.
Worrying times though and asset stripping was always my big worry if we ever got relegated under this lot. |  |

It's the lack of incomings that worries me.
1 fit striker
And the midfield is woeful. |
I think a midfield of Caroll, Clucas, Fer and Fulton is more than enough for the championship. it is just that 2 of them are injured right now. but the problem is that if we buy a new midfielder to cover the injured ones now.. once they recover then we will have too many cm's for 2 positions.
I don't see why GP hasn't played J.Ayew in Striker position.. unless he is definitely linked to going. If not he should be preparing so that we have 2 strikers ready with 1 more coming back when he recvoers from injury(Bony). And also Asoro can play as striker (but not as comfortable as winger). so we could also use him upfront with Montero and Narsingh as wingers *or celina when we sign him). | | | |

Agreed on the overall lack of incomings and the MF, but don't we have a fit striker who scored 9 goals in half a season on a bad club in the Championship last season? |  |

How do you work that out?
Potter knew exactly what the situation was.
Delays in shipping players out has been down to three things - ridiculously inflated estimates, injuries, the difference between Europe and English Leagues over transfer deal line days.
Difficulty getting people in -
they don't want to come to way out west
people like Neil Taylor whispering in the background
we can't bring players in until we know who's going and how many and how much money that frees up.
Players in Europe are not atet fussed on Championship football (way out west) and are holding on until 31st August which is too late for us. |
If Tosh was 30 years younger and in charge today, he'd have had them all in and told them up front "If you don't want to be here get on your phones to your agent, and if you don't want to be here then don't expect to tour or train with the first team, lets be men and lets be honest" |  |

If he gets injured, what then? | |

We need a spine of a team starting with a striker worthy of the name
Right now, we have centre halves who want out, Tom Carroll and Mc B
Not great
Spineless really | | | |

If he gets injured, what then? |
Then, there's Jordan Ayew.
Also, there's Bony, once he gets back.
But I was responding to the assertion that we don't have "1" fit striker, not that we don't have 2 or more. | |

We were already a poor quality team last year. The team has been in decline for around 3/4 seasons now.
We are reminiscent of Blackpool and Coventry. It's a bubble waiting to burst. Our team lacks depth in real quality all over the pitch and barely looks up to the challenge of the most competitive League in European football. Mid table will be seen as an achievement. Those who weren't disappointed with relegation are in for a rude awakening as opposing teams like Preston and Millwall aren't going to excite anyone.
Jenkins seems to have escaped with his testicles intact surprisingly. It's going to be a long hard slog but to answer the original question. At the moment it's neither. It's a rudderless ship. | |

So is there any actual evidence that we are being "stripped bare"? I dont see how the Americans can be criticised for the money we have spent.... £15m on Borja, £20m on Ayew, god knows how much on Sanches last season, £17m on Clucas, Bony and his £100k a week or whatever it is... it isnt their fault it's been spend unwisely.
We have been spending £80m a year on wages which was worrying enough when we had £100m a year TV money coming in plus all the other trappings of being a PL club. Now, our parachute payment is £40m or thereabouts this season so we'd be absolutely screwed even if all the players had a 50% reduction on relegation which is doubtful. Our finances must be frightening at the moment.
I think the club are doing exactly the right thing in this window. Of course, the pain of this window is down to the shockingly bad decisions they've made over the last few years and the fact they've probably had to throw money at players in order to get them to come here.
I'd be very interested to know what people think the club should be doing differently... |
But it is their fault its been spent unwisely, they ate the ones who employ Jenkins and have over seen his disastrous regime since they arrived. |  |

I think it's pretty obvious that we are cashing in as much as we can. The Americans have no ambition when it comes to the club achieving things. Their only concern is making sure the shareholders get nice fat cheques.quite shocked we still have a lot of fans who still believe huw and the other cronies are working towards anything other than their dividends. Guess these are the same fans that wanted to give Clement more time, no protest against the board etc. The club is slowly drifting away. | | | |

I think you misread my post it said we have 1 fit striker.
As regards the replacements Bony is out injured Jordan Ayew is not a striker. | |

Huw calling the shots, running a business with a history of business failure. Only one way we are going. The yanks strategy is open and clear, recover what has gone in, chip away at a few more dollars and get out.
No strategy for recovery, no vision for the future, and no communication.
I'm loving it, aren't you ? |
No, not enjoying it....🤑🤑😂👌 |  |
