Farmer Saint

Who are these people? We know Gio is a wind-up, so who else are you talking about?

But it's not my plan, you do realise that don't you? Because you've spent so long having a go at me for bringing it up you surely must think it is? Maybe, as you say, you are just a simple urban lad. Anyway, I've had my fun with you tonight, so I bid you adieu.

Love that I've rattled you 🤣

My priority is very low on this one, so would appreciate it if you could spoon-feed me please - try not to get too hysterical whilst doing it though. I feel you owe me that considering you've been criticising the idea of a yo-yo club strategy for as long as I've said it.

Look, stop being such a little bitch and apologise. We all make mistakes, no-ones perfect. It's fine. If you're lucky, I may even accept your apology.

You're so full of shit it's hilarious - you're backpedaling so fast you're becoming a blur. Look, just because I don't get hysterical like yourself and try to be measured in my criticism doesn't mean I'm a fanboy, just means I'm not as emotional about football as a lot of people on here, including yourself.

I read the whole post, but you said the yo-yo thing on this forum was horseshit. You then said don't believe the bullshitters. 2 different things. - Horseshit is an all-purpose term for condemnation. - Bullshit is a term for lying. I should know the difference, I'm a farmer, and I can smell both on you.

Exactly that.

Oh, turns out you're lying.

I never said it was a good plan. Literally never. Just that is what was happening and I can see why they're doing it.

Are you being serious? You're going to parrot my thoughts - the ones you've been deriding for God knows how long - as something you now think is happening? What is written above is the definition of yo-yo. Fucking hell.

Well, yes, but before he joined Swansea he was bang average in the Championship and then decent in League 1 for Ipswich. Swansea then paid £1.5m for him and a great season under Martin then got him picked up by West Ham for £12m. He then didn't do anything at West Ham and came to us on loan. It is my opinion, but it would be odd if anyone said anything different tbh because I don't think he's really looked good for anyone else, outside of L1.

He's only ever looked good under Martin TBF - he is a system player and fits into Martin's system perfectly. It's why he got his move to Wet Spam, it just turns out he's just not a PL player.

Downes is not a PL player in my opinion.

Yep, and she asked to tell you that "...his dinners in the fridge".

Yeah, he's always been unable to understand what I'm saying - I assume he does it on purpose and thinks it makes him seem clever. It doesn't. He's trying to copy CB Fry's posting style, but he's just not very good at it. The plan is not to get relegated. The plan is to make sure relegation is not a financial disaster like last time and minimising the players we have to sell, whilst (in their minds anyway) giving us enough players to have a stab at staying up. It's a risk spreading strategy which is really quite sensible considering we were favourites for relegation and we had to spend £50m this Summer just to have as good a team as we had in the Championship last season.

But we needed to pick up players for next season in the Championship with the pull of the PL. We probably wouldn't have signed those players had we waited for next season to sign them as they wouldn't have been interested. It doesn't surprise me that Weston is misunderstanding it, I've tried to explain it many, MANY times but he is either willfully ignorant or thick as shit, as well as being an despicable cretin of a human being. I think it's a mixture of all 3 tbh.

Yeah, I don't think anyone foresaw it being this bad. I thought we were favourites for relegation, and with less points than last time due to a far worse team, but yeah, it's been rubbish. But where the strategy seems to be that we covered our bases financially to mean relegation doesn't matter, I guess we'll just have to suffer longer.

No dick swinging. Just asking you to name the posters, that's all. Very simple ask, you could have named them in any of the 4 or 5 replies where you've said you won't. You're either scared or you can't, and I don't know which it is.

Lol, brilliant. Seems you're as good at backing yourself up as @CB Fry is.

Apart from Gio, I don't really know who you're talking about, and I certainly don't think anyone thinks he does no wrong, but as you raised it, it would be useful to know if you can share please?

Absolutely, but apart from Gio, who are you actually making these points to? I don't think anyone has said he is close to walking on water, in fact even Gio has been quite critical at times (but he is also quite clearly on a bit of a windup), so I'm interested to know who is part of this group. Let me put this forward for instance: - I think we need a new Manager this season if we want any chance of staying up (and even then he would need to be outstanding to do that). - I don't think he should be replaced with just anyone - we saw how that worked out last year with Selles and I don't trust the board to pick another Manager. - If we got relegated, although he would have been pretty much wholly complicit in that (along with whoever bought our Championship level players), he has proved that he can take a severely damaged and transfer ravaged team up to the PL, so we could probably do a lot worse. I know people from the beginning have hated him, and we are now at a point where the list of hates are: - His face - His hair - His beard - The fact he's vegan - His smugness - His arrogance - His ego - The fact the he is dating an ex-glamour model - Photos being taken of him on holiday and subsequently put on Instagram (not by him, mind) - His clothes - His demeanor on the touchline - His press conferences being too honest, or not honest enough, taking blame, or giving blame to the players, blaming the ref, and not blaming the ref, him getting annoyed with press questions, or not getting annoyed with press questions - His laughing with his players - His hugging and congratulating of his players - The fact his players seem to like him - His charity work (outside of his charitable foundation) - His charitable foundation (have I missed anything?) Whereas in actual fact what people should really hate is: - His tactics - His team selections

Don't disagree at all with that. They're gash and should never have been given new contracts (maybe Bednarek to at least give him some resale value).

Yeah, that's when we really started hearing the gnashing of teeth...that's gnashing, not noshing.

I'm not sure people are necessarily advocating for him to still be here next season, but it's more that with him in place next season will we be one of the favourites to go up? Yeah, of course we will, as long as sales aren't too extreme (which they shouldn't be).
