@scott_tanfield@TonyKhan I do think the knowledge that Marco was frustrated with the transfer policy and the fact everything was done last minute so no option for a plan B would put people off…. People work for people
@FFCVoice They may have a plan, or had a plan, or have/had a plan for a plan, or they may just be being cunning…. A cunning plan. Or they may just have be clueless and in denial. And now they might just be clueless but reality has hit. Who knows! Just hope we have a decent manager soon
Sounds like the various agents are out in force drumming up interest in their candidates. Whoever it is will have a tough job of convincing the grumblers! (But please not lampard. Not because he isn’t a good manager but he is. Chelsea through and through)
@FFCJoe Wilson and Raul were not prolific. Outside nov/dec/jan, Wilson has 2 goals and 2 assists, and excluding his penalties, Rail had 5goals….. I’d like both to stay but they aren’t irreplaceable.
We knew it was coming. He was clearly a thorn in the Khans side at transfer time. A really good manager marred by a messy finish. Worried for what comes next. How many of the current team will leave? I actually do trust the Khans to make a good call on the next manager.
@Fulhamflutter Makes sense. If they know he is going, they don’t want to announce it before they have a replacement or they will look like a bunch of muppets….. if he was staying it would have been announced by now.
We don’t know the facts, and either or both sides could be playing a game the fans wouldn’t be happy with but the club need a deadline where if it isn’t done by, we move on. #ffc
@FFCVoice Irrespective of the outcome the board haven’t covered themselves in glory. If there’s been a negotiation then both sides have their non negotiable. One of the boards should have been sign by x date or we will go elsewhere. Instead it appears they have been played needlessly
It may be just me but I’m wondering if Harry’s mid season form may have been a bit like when Muniz got player of the month. He’s good but not that good. I like him…. He is Welsh after all but he just disappears from games (2 goals and 2 assists outside nov/dec and jan)
@1966MJG@Lidds84 I think we were a top striker away from doing well. Wilson had a purple patch (but only 2 goals and 2 assists outside nov/dec/jan) and aside from Jimenez’s 4 penalties he only scored 5 and Muniz got 2. Therin lies the problem.
@FulhamTransfer@Record_Portugal It’s not about the budget as such. It’s about control how it is spent (and probably the timing of the spend). I think the money is there it’s just that if a deal falls through on deadline day the money doesn’t get spent
@FFCVoice@Lidds84 You may be right but we don’t know how the negotiations have progressed. Silva may want to stay but it’s been obvious that he’s been frustrated with the transfer policy and if he has been trying to get that issue solved as part of the negotiation does that make him the problem?
I hope whoever manages us next is a better developer of youth than Silva. Godo, Osmand, Amissa (who looks like he may be going) and others weren’t given a chance. I’d even suggest that Muniz has been mishandled.
@jackellyffc But whilst it is toxic for the club, we shouldn’t assume that Marco is the problem. What would you be doing in his shoes if you wanted to stay but had one major condition that you were struggling to agree…..
@jackellyffc My guess is that he has laid conditions down in terms of signings that haven’t yet been agreed and won’t be (as that’s not the way the Khans run things) so he’ll be off.
