Wigan aren't allowed to put up so much as a sketch with blu-tak without the Latics permission. Some nice football pictures in the ground though.

Very good - contented with cheating yourselves out of relegation

Very disappointing to see him sign for Leeds. Firstly Leeds get probably the best British backrower for probably well less than his true market value. Secondly we don't get him. You could argue it's too big a signing for us with our small-club mentality.

Hopefully that's true means we have about 100k left over on salary cap. Means we could do a mid season transfer. Plus his a cu#t so glad his not working round these parts

Re: Brett Ferres : Thu Jan 07, 2016 5:36 pm  

I remember when Everton used to try and attract the top names, knowing full well that a. they wouldnt sign for them anyway and b. they couldnt afford them anyway, but at least it looked good in the press to the fans

It's a bit like getting worked up about not signing Gareth Hock.

On paper he's a good player. But if we signed him and he suddenly started playing up and causing a ton of backroom friction the club would get slaughtered.

On grass he's an even better player

An excellent no risk signing for Leeds , only doubt maybe is his fitness , to compare him to Hock is laughable .

Yeah definitely. But Saints have a zero risk policy. If it's costly, we don't do it. If it's a punt, we don't do it. If it could make us win a trophy, we don't do it. McManus is in full on Arsene Wenger mode, do enough to fool the fans into turning up and give the impression we're a big club whilst not putting a penny towards actually winning anything. A lot of people on here jutify it becasue of the business side of things and the sustainability it brings, but it's not like we're even any good at the business side of things. We don't even make a profit, which is something Leeds manage to do whilst winning all the trophies as well.
