Re: Problems with Gartside

I appreciate the candid interview, but this bit made me shake my head. Very few players transfer from this level to Premier League – they [Premier League clubs] would much rather, as a rule, buy a foreign player rather than recognise a player that has dropped down. There are exceptions, but it’s not...

Re: Problems with Gartside

The West Brom game still hurts. I didn't think that even Coyle could blow a 2-0 lead in 15 minutes under those circumstances.

Re: Problems with Gartside

If we hadn't spent the money maybe we'd have come down a fair bit earlier. Megson kept us up a couple of seasons, as did Coyle. Allardyce is an exception to "two year" managers not the norm. The norm is about 2 years from managers. "It could have been worse" isn't much of a defense against charges ...

Re: Problems with Gartside

The way I see it, whilst the fans are pointing to our level of debt and crying foul, they want us to have money to spend on players etc. which would add to our levels of debt - which seems to be a nonsense, in the absence of "magic sticks" to make it go away. I think Freedman took the hard steps th...

This implies Gartside still cares, which I think is inaccurate.

Re: Next Up - Freeman's Replacement

maybe i am being naive - it's certainly possible - but I am not buying the idea that every footballer has some kind of a series of hate-texts on his phone - or that they are all morons. Maybe it's not a hate text. Maybe it's "Freedman is a ****ing **** and he can shove his head up Gartside's fat **...

Re: Next Up - Freeman's Replacement

Does anyone seriously give a crap about the Mackay thing? Surely every player in that locker room has something on his phone that would bar him from any future employment if it were released in the press by a vindictive lunatic. really?? you think every player has racist/homophobic/sexist or some-k...

Re: Freedman gone

It had to happen.

Hate to bring down the good mood but I have zero faith in Gartside to bring in a good replacement.

Re: Problems with Gartside

As a Chairman, he has overseen a six year decline at the club No other large company would have contemplated keeping a Chief Executive who took their business down the same route. To build on this, I sort of wonder if the problem with Gartside is that his background is in business - what business i...

Re: Problems with Gartside

Can we agree that a twenty nine place difference probably suggests that Allardyce was the brains behind the operation?

His first match will be against my Sounders and our front line of Clint Dempsey and Oba Martins.

We're going to score 5.

Re: Problems with Gartside

Gartside has done precisely one thing right, which was appointing Allardyce. After that I think Gartside got an enormous ego and thought he was far more responsible for the success of the club than he actually was. The table doesn't lie, and Allardyce is currently TWENTY NINE places ahead of Gartsid...
