Jesus fucking Christ.
I know this is the TEF and all that but fuck off.
I dont give a shit what you think of the board, their invest and our strikers. For all you know the money could be there but Wilson not spending it. Perhaps no players wants to bloody come here and play infront of ingrateful people like you? Maybe the money has gone toward paying off our debts so we dont go into admin and then bust?
Anyway, this post was supposed to be a serious post about our board apologising to the fans for the on pitch disaster that was todays. Other clubs have done it in the past and I think its a good idea.
If you want to bicker about the boards intentions then go do it else where like thisis.

I couldn't give a toss what you say to be honest, That's my opinion, Like it or lump it, The board need to sort the fucking mess out, get some bloody strikers in and give DW a bit more money, Unless you want another season like last season?
How did you know i wasn't thinking of a nice word?

What about Reading, look at them as a club that was our size when they were at Elm park (in fact probably smaller). If Madjeski had sold them when they were in the Premier League, I'm sure he would have made a tidy profit. The thing is that the board have to make us a successful club, if they wan't to make any profit from a future sale. However, unless they invest in the team it's not gonna happen.

it will take a complete restucure of our youth set up,and fitton to put some proper invesment into the team to mirror what readin have done. i'd love us to do a similar thing but cannot se it currently.

The board have been consistent in saying they'll not throw money at this project, and have been true to their word. We've got stability off the pitch and mediocrity on the pitch....it's a bugger, but that's how it is.

It also took Reading 10 years to get it right even with the cash.
Swansea are a better example for me. If they can do it so cann we.

can we please not get too carried away, at the end of the day its 1 defeat, i know its a very poor defeat but its still only 1 game. It was only a few days ago we was all talking up how good Morrison/Greer/McNamee/Douglas are, that doesnt change after 1 poor performance. I want strikers in as much as the next person but at least we know that Wilson is not signing players who he isnt 100% sure on, at least we know when we sign strikers they will be very good players.

Being Welsh means you can get shit loads of funding from England for new stadia etc.

Just been reading some Gills comments, they say that all their players were on top form.....maybe it was just the WRONG time to be playing them. I still think we need to see what we do in the next 5 or 6 games to be able to judge.

AS I've tried to point out before Wilson's record on buying strikers is at best patchy at worst embarrassing...however you want to look at it, going into the season with only one striker is incompetent. We're now under pressure, which increases the likelihood of taking someone like Trundle on loan.

Mediocrity is not the word Reg-we're far worse than that
