Bury V Swindon Town official match day thread

[joteddyred]

Have I understood this right, we're under an embargo until we pay the fees for Collins and Archibald-Henville?

In all honesty though, he's brought in enough players to have adequate cover.  Now he seems to be saying if the embargo isn't lifted and he can't bring in more players it will be difficult to get promotion!

I'm not sure, but I think he said we have one of these:

PDC:
- 3 points is the maximum you can get in a game
- Can travel back with a big smile
- It wasn't a joy to watch this game
- We came from a 4 game win streak which sapped energy
- Poor game Tuesday and scrappy game today. But we got 3 points
- If club has desire to go up this year then we need other players. But we can't get any yet because of embargo
- Difficult with 2 or 3 injuries.
- PDC is working 24 hours per day still. Hopes that club and chairman is working to same plan as when he signed.
- Williams has a calf injury. Benson can only play one game at a time at this level
- If we want to carry on using 'hope' as a strategy then PDC will carry on loyally to Jeremy Wray who gave him a chance, but hope is not the strategy that PDC wants to use.
- PDC plan from 16 months ago has changed a little bit.
- Roberts, McCormack, Williams all injured. 30% of main players.
- Ranted about embargo and players having to go before he can get more.
- Talked about embargo being because of timing of tribunal decision. Swindon haven't paid the money yet and so cant buy anyone else.
- PDC sounded v angry. Sounded as if the 'embargo' was by the board not wanting to put more money in yet.
- If board let PDC work like last year then great. PDC is waiting for an answer as to whether they will. He is looking at one player - a top level professional.
- PDC has only found out about embargo in last few days
- PDC doesnt know when he'll be told.
- Its not the end of the world. We are 4th in L1 having come up from L2. We have lots of passion at the County Ground. But, we have to know whether there is still the intention to push for the Championship. He has to know so that he can plan properly, work 24/7 to get to the championship or just carry on and do the best with what he's got.

Sounds as if the board may have said no to him actually - rather than the FA...

Does he not realise how good he has had it? He is skating on incredibly thin ice here. He's just called himself a "God" and saying unless the purse strings are released he is off in December.

Sometimes I love the man, at others I think he's a bit a nob. Today is the latter. He'd be a walking disaster at a club with a chairman without the patience (and generosity) Wray and our board have.

Pretty sure he said "I'm not god, I'm a very good manager, but I'm not god"

I think he owns a heavily modified DeLorean

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

Come the fuck on Di Canio, we really don't need any more players. What we have here are more than good enough to get us up.

Jebus.

Trouble up Mill

Anyone else getting a bit worried about how unstable it feels our club is?

Come the fuck on Di Canio, we really don't need any more players. What we have here are more than good enough to get us up.

Whether they are good enough or not, we have two squads worth of players that could play in the first team. Can't remember such investment in our squad. PDC is lucky.

That said, most managers want more. PDC just chooses to put the pressure on via the radio. Not sure its fair on Wray, but I think most fans are understanding there isn't a money tree in his back garden.

Paolo has an annoying habit of bringing things down with a big bump when we should all be celebrating another win.

He needs to learn that sometimes it's better to keep your gob shut.......

[Nomoreheroes]

Yes. Must admit, if PDC were my employee, I would have a quiet word about that interview.

[Exiled Bob]

Anyone else getting a bit worried about how unstable it feels our club is?

Only when Paolo gets interviewed........

So Benson can "only play one game at a time"-Im afraid that's just not good enough!
