Not under SR we won't 🙂

Only Spors and his recruitment team.

By the snake-oil salesman.

If you only got 12 points you clearly have to 🙂

I wonder who is to blame for that....hmm.

The point I'm making is that Johansson was available to us at that time - we could have signed him for not much money.

I get that but we all watched Johansson play superbly against us for Rotherham and he's now at Stoke while we have inferior Bazunu as our first choice.

Agree. It's this attitude towards recruitment that has us on a downward spiral under SR.

Not based on past record.

Chemical Dragan

Yeah, when you look at our number one and two picks you do kind of have a point there.

Spors needs to have some superb signings up his sleeve.

Most of us if Baz and McCarthy get injured.

Did well to get this one over the line. I bet the competition was fierce.

Is this the lull before the storm? Or maybe a sign of what is to come.

It's just the norm for them.

This could be reverse psychology from Spors - start off with an absolutely crap signing then whoever comes next will seem brilliant.

So we're putting a hologram in goal then - might be an upgrade.

Even if that's 40k Japanese Yen it's still too much.

That might happen 🙂

Signing a rubbish 3rd choice keeper and hoping he never plays sounds like a pretty risky strategy to me. Surely there are better options out there who, if called upon, could be expected to do a reasonable job.

I can't recall but I'm assuming Lumley wanted a higher role so asked for a move. He is number two at Bristol City.

Then they'd have to explain to Dragan why McCarthy is on massive wages but has been demoted to 3rd choice. It's a face saving exercise.

SR has been an unmitigated disaster from the first day they took charge. There is absolutely nothing to suggest that they will suddenly morph into a management/executive group who have a clue how to run a successful football club. They stumble from one crisis to another and spout meaningless platitudes to keep the fans happy but, in truth, not one of those responsible for running the club fills me with any confidence. Maybe they are all in the wrong industry because that's how it comes across. Total incompetence again and again as we slide further into oblivion.

I'm guessing they figure we're paying McCarthy big bucks to be number two to Bazunu so why bring in someone who might push him out to number three.
