I would be surprised if Jake didn't play, he needs to look after himself now and make sure he secures a contract away from Bolton, by not playing you are shooting yourself in the foot.Darlo_Pete wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2019 9:18 amI hope Jake will turn out for us, I'd be surprised if he didn't. Our young keeper should be on the bench today, let's hope the events of the last few days don't stop him getting his chance.
If you want to break that down though. Of the 170k of players sold. 70k of that was gray taking players with him and Beck to Harrogate. Sceptics could argue that the amount we got for Heaton (a player who gray identified and brought in but couldn't sign due to injury). Then there will be money from the loss of Turnbull and Gillies who a fair amount of fans would say were the wrong decisions given. So he gets credit for selling styche. Who was a salable asset because we bought him for 20-30k the previous season. (Also note he makes no mention of the amount of transfer fees he spent against that income. Styche, trotman, ainge were all signed for fees so it's not like he wasn't supported.grimsbyquaker wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2019 7:39 amYet he’s generated £170k in transfer business, had to sell our prize asset CF and midfielder, seen two of his team represent their country, do a mid-season rebuild with loans...he steers us 15 points clear of the drop and, oh yeah, sets up an academy for the good of the club rather than himself as was the case with the previous incumbent. For me this negates the mistakes Re recruitment last summer. With the constraints we work under and the lack of any assets to attract outside investment I would like to know what those who were so eager to see TW axed would see as a realistic long term ambition
Interested to see your figures for this. I suspect they won't stack up.grimsbyquaker wrote:Yet he’s generated £170k in transfer business,
Perhaps if he'd been more consistent and not made poor summer signings, we'd have kept Styche.grimsbyquaker wrote: had to sell our prize asset CF and midfielder,
Wright had to tear up his strategy mid-season because it wasn't working. Nuneaton beat us (the same Nuneaton who who won only one more game after their win at BM).grimsbyquaker wrote: do a mid-season rebuild with loans...
Avoiding relegation on a competitive budget is not a success so stop pretending it is.grimsbyquaker wrote: he steers us 15 points clear of the drop
You're making it sound like we have a bottom third budget. Our budget was competitive for top 10, yet we spent most of the season dangling on the edge of a relegation battle.grimsbyquaker wrote: With the constraints we work under and the lack of any assets to attract outside investment I would like to know what those who were so eager to see TW axed would see as a realistic long term ambition
Winning a reasonable amount of football matches would do for most fans.No one is expecting us to go out and smash the league or get promoted but I for one would expect us to be organized and competitive at the very least.Something we haven’t been for the bulk of the season.grimsbyquaker wrote: ↑Sun Apr 28, 2019 7:39 amYet he’s generated £170k in transfer business, had to sell our prize asset CF and midfielder, seen two of his team represent their country, do a mid-season rebuild with loans...he steers us 15 points clear of the drop and, oh yeah, sets up an academy for the good of the club rather than himself as was the case with the previous incumbent.
