Smurf interview


Recommended Posts

I dont see the statement he made as bad news... its not good... it never is when someone tells you you have run out of money... but its not bad... its the timing thats all wrong. It may be factual that the budget is spent but it swings the positives, the buzz, on a downward spiral.

We have had a string of decent news from the club over the last few days... from kids shirts, to box/sponsorship sales, to new signings... and the positive vibes were gaining momentum... why slap it down again with suggestions we wont be getting any strikers?... I know thats not exactly what he said but the implication is there... simply say [perhaps] the budget is being stretched a little, ST sales are not as good as we need/expected, I will be interviewing 2 strikers next week....... job done, facts covered, no lies, positive swing.

Thank You l have learnt a lot over the last 3 seasons

Let me be clear

To support a budget of 1.7M l need ST at circa 3300

The budget currently stands at 1.85M

There will be some player movement next week but that will still leave the budget over 1.7M

If we only sell 2500 that 800 represents a reduction of circa £233,000

What would you have me do ?

 

Get someone else in to invest?

It's so frustrating. All the preseason so far has been about creating a bit of a positive atmosphere around the club. Clean sheet for the manager, quality players, cautious optimism all round, blue skies. That is so important when trying to encourage people to get a season ticket. People want to buy in to something that looks like it's going to be good. Then, with one misjudged interview, Norman blows a massive great thunder cloud into view. Even the comment on here about interviewing 2 strikers next week doesn't sound too good.

 

But anyway, we need ot try and concentrate on all the good so far rather than what I hope was a blip yesterday.

Why are people so ****** off? The budget won't be far off spent , for a start is was reduced from last season , then we lost Pope, veselli, Marshall and Williamson , we have then signed Foley, purkiss, Kelly, Grant and street. Plus o connor resigned , possibly at a pay increase?? I'm happy with the dealings so far, we have roughly 150 k left? Maybe more , this is 3k a week, which gets you either one maybe two decent players add in a couple of loans like inniss and we aren't far off a top half side.

 

.................Neal

Purkiss..street..Iniss...dicko?

Moore..o connor..grant...Foley/Kelly

..........new forward...loan?/Dodds?

I don't agree with on many things saying that don't think I have agreed on anything you have ever said lol.

 

Yet this post I agree. Football is a funny old game.

Come! Come rent a flat in my luxury development! Look at the snazzy bathroom and luxury bedroom! Unfortunately we'll only be able to put a roof on if we leese all the appartments out.

Wasn't that Harlequin's business model?

We all wanted a clear-out in the summer but the only clear-out has been of the quality players.

 

Instead we're left with deadwood like Yates, Birchall and Doods and only the suggestion of strikers before August 8th.

 

Looks like a major communication error between Page and Smurf or total incompetence. Or both.

 

Sorry Alan and i am more than likely in the minority here but i dont think Yates is deadwood,he is decent cover for me.....also we have added some very good additions so far,all positives for me
