Dazzler 16205 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 36 minutes ago, Craig said: Isn’t he the one who signed a bunch of duds for Rangers leading to their fans protesting at his removal? Sounds a perfect fit for our circus It wasn’t the fact they were duds. It was the fact he rejected bids for star players and then didn’t bother to negotiate new contracts so they left on frees. Or so I’ve read. Fills me with a great deal of confidence when we’re sat with an Isak situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 63253 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Isak has not travelled to Singapore with the rest of the squad.... Whether it's just cos of his injured thigh or not, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1837 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 For one reason or the other we're going to need to speed up the striker recruitment. We're either not going to have Isak or not going to have a fit Isak for the Villa game at this rate. If we have to start Osula up front we may as well fuck PSR right off and take the 10 point deduction because we're not picking up many points at the start of the season anyway.

There's no getting away from it, the club management are royally fucking this up. Plenty of time left to do what needs to be done but it's getting harder and harder to faith in them doing it.

David Kelly 1837 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 If this is as bad as it looks, you have to worry about Howe's position as well. His demands for early business haven't been met (whether that's through lack of effort, mismanagement or things outside our control) and we're currently going into the season without a fit striker (at best). He can't be expected to work miracles with a squad that's weaker than the one we started last season with and has the extra workload of european football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitman 2869 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 It does seem like we've fucked it up with both recruitment and Isak. And every little thing that happens with Isak is subject to media speculation and just adds to the hysteria. Eales should have come out when Liverpool were up to their nonsense and say that he is categorically not for sale and any attempt to tap him or his agents up will be met with a lawsuit.

Unfortunately we appear to very much asleep at the wheel at the moment in terms of the management of the club. Anything other than selling Adidas replica products and we're not interested. Signings, contracts, stadiums, training grounds and sponsorships seem to be very much on the back burner. At the womens team seem to be giving it a go. They might get promoted so we can maybe sell them to ourselves in a few years time when we get round to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 63253 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Weird that this is happening mind, cos @Dr Gloom was absolutely adamant that he was a great lad who just wasn't the sort to do this type of thing, and was content with just being an NUFC club legend for winning the Carabao Cup.

Gemmill 63253 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 At this stage I feel we should just be going to Liverpool and saying "right if you want him, it's £150m and you've got a deadline of next Friday to sort a deal or it's off" I don't think they can afford him now this summer anyway, but that needs to be brought to the surface so the player sees it and can straighten his fucking face or find another club to go to. This whole situation has been a fucking disaster. I'm not buying it that we shouldn't have bid for Ekitike though. That's not why Liverpool came in for Isak, they were going to do that anyway.
