Always usual to mention indoor plumbing in negotiations as well in such circumstances...😉sam3110 said:I hope it's us that's signing him and basically said look either way you're playing in League 1 next year, you either do it in London on a higher wage, or in Sheffield on a lower wage, your choice1 -
This not to say we are going to get him, bit of work is needed.. might have been the player Andy Scott was with last night.DubaiCAFC said:
Surely not, not a deal that is close then doesn’t go through… surely Sheffield Wednesday have planned that… Surely not a player has changed his mind!!fenaddick said:

I wonder which Championship clubs are also sniffing around ?0

You would assume he has agreed a contract elsewhere before completely turning away from Wednesday0

Perhaps it was Wednesday that couldn’t increase their package and pulled out ?PWADDICK said:You would assume he has agreed a contract elsewhere before completely turning away from Wednesday0 -
Apparently wednesday offered a fair bit lower than us, personally reckon Scott met him last night and may have changed his mind...27

You’ve got to try to hold on to Watson if you cash in on Dobbo.

Seems a strange U turn by Cawley, so quickly after his initial message. He obvioulsy knows something and has been made aware by someone ITK2
-
It’s not out the realms of possibility he fancies it with us over a championship club up north. He’s had many loans across the country but if he’s to settle with a new club on a long term contract he may want to stay local, as ever there are always many deciding factors as well as the money.2

Just seen that Weds have massively picked up (apt choice of words). Everyone presuming it’s a forgone conclusion they will be in league one are a way off - they are only 3 points outside of getting out and in better form now.

I get your point and agree with you so this is not a dig, but not sure this particular example works when you use the shockingly badly run Sheff Weds as a benchmark. They even employed Katrien Meire!! 😂0 -
IF Coventry joins us I wonder whether it would be his previous links to Appleton which helped secure the deal. He managed him at Lincoln.0

Careful what you say. His missus might be reading this. 😉DubaiCAFC said:

You know we will sign Coventry, he will play one game and have a blinder then he will get a hamstring strain in the next game and be out for 3 months!!5

If so, plus points for Scott - he apparently sold the performance guy from Brighton on the "project" (dirty word) and if that's what he was doing with Coventry last night and it comes off, that's a big positive.ButtleJR said:Apparently wednesday offered a fair bit lower than us, personally reckon Scott met him last night and may have changed his mind...14 -
So as of Saturday we have two loan players in . Neither fit enough to start the game and one who may not even be on the bench.

Listening to today's Guardian Football weekly and one of the panel has been studying transfers and if they're "successful". With success being playing more than 50% of the teams minutes. Apparently over half of all transfers would be considered "unsuccessful". Obviously it's simplistic but it's worth bearing in mind when assessing recruitment.1

Why do you think that Bakinson isn't fit enough to start?msomerton said:So as of Saturday we have two loan players in . Neither fit enough to start the game and one who may not even be on the bench.

The problem with that is, and reading between the lines, I don’t think our backers have been led to believe it will take that long, or, be willing to kick up the funds to do so.DubaiCAFC said:
What other options do we have?Henry Irving said:

Club is a mess.. It is no quick fix! this years of damage.. And if you are not going to allow time, it will never be fixed!supaclive said:

Na... they will just blame the owners!!Oh Eddie Youds... said:If Dobson leaves then it’s all Bromley Addicks fault.
Simple as that.
Same goes for CBT too.
If we were top 6, winning games, with a real chance of promotion and the club made them a good offer, they'd sign.
I wouldn't re-sign for us based on the current footballing prospects at CAFC
They must be crazy though- what with Appleton being the best coach in the world and all that...
Super hero Varney isn't coming to the rescue.. suck it up, and support! We have little option..
Wow, you really just told other fans who aren't happy to "suck it up"
Unbelievable.
Suck it up and try to support the club, and see what happens or don't go and spend your hard earned cash.
Think last night they delivered a message, they know they haven't got it right, they have made mistake, they know it isn't an easy fix, they are trying to correct the wrongs, they have owners who are willing to invest money in the playing side, and non-playing side.
I am frustrated as much as anyone how poor this season has been, how we have left ourselves short, how things don't seem to be going to plan this window.. But need to give them a chance, personally,
I don't we will see the really benefits for another 18months - 2 years in my opinion, it is a project!
I think it’s pretty clear Methven etc have sold this on the basis that we can implement cost control measures and optimize spend to get losses to a reasonable amount, but at the same time achieve success.I agree with your point about years of mismanagement and the potential time it would take to put it right, but, there’s nothing about this set up that screams long term commitment/investment. Granted that could be the same even if we had someone come in spend millions and say we’re in it for the long term, but we have seen from experience how quickly things can go downhill based on how TS exited
You’ve also got to factor in they’ve set themselves back a season based on how much a fudge they made of appointing Holden, the summer window, sacking him, and in all likelihood, may have to get rid of Appleton if results continue. This 2 years could easily become 3 or 42 -
And after we are relegated. If do not do something for the now and forget 2 year or 5 year plans.cabbles said:

Every ownership group has come in and talked about "years of mismanagement." And then they have proceeded to mismanage.8

Doesn't have many followers but I think I've seen his name before and he's been fairly accurate so not immediately ignoring. Could be wrong though!charlton_hero said:0 -
He's a typical "post things which contradict eachother and then add in caveats, so you never look wrong"

I'll be very pleased with Coventry, he was very good for MK Dons.
That being said, our record of signing players who have performed well for MK dons is pretty poor.5 -
Our record of signing players who performed well anywhere is pretty poor at the moment29

McLeod, Reeves, Aneke, Gilbey, T.Watson... it's not a great list I'll give you thatcovered_end_junior said:I'll be very pleased with Coventry, he was very good for MK Dons.

IF we sign Coventry and he is half as good as the last central midfielder we signed from West Ham, I will be ecstatic.7
