I am the new @blackpool72 just sell the club and fuck off.14

I love the revisionism of Pearce. Most of the time he was here as a player our defence was a shambles, or he wasn't in it.ValleyBen said:Joking aside, no idea how good he is but unless he is a once in a generation far too good for this league talent I would have preferred someone experienced as neither Hector, Thomas or Jones look to be that leader at the back we have so sorely missed since Pearce retired.
Obviously like every player who signs though, gets my support and will hope for the best.6 -
Would hope Watson is fit enough to go straight into the team against Crawley in the pizza trophy next week.1

Pearce may not have been a great footballer, but he undoubtedly was and is a leader.25

Am sure he has not had a pre-season, but we'll hear that we beat off Champions league interest in him.5

Leader I'll give you but he wasn't some sort of defensive organisational mastermind that some make out.Covered End said:Pearce may not have been a great footballer, but he is undoubtedly was and is a leader.4 -
Nice one @Callumcafc you're always quick to giving a bit of background info on the linked players with stats and why we may be linked, it's appreciated
Sounds as if he had championship interest then, so it's not exactly a desperation signing, especially as he was already on our radar..3 -
This is January all over again @Callumcafc and I'm said to say my arguments were proven then too.Callumcafc said:
If you had interest from Championship clubs, why would you sign a contract with a mid table League One club as soon as they put a contract in front of you? Just because he’s out of contract doesn’t mean he’s forced to sign immediately with anyone…supaclive said:Six weeks...??!
Oh yes, he's FREE!
As far as I’m concerned, it looks as if Watson was the #1 target all along as that aligns 100% with what Scott said about waiting for the players they actually want, rather than just taking what’s available.
These owners have no cash, no plan that will work and sadly no amazing plan that will see us rush up the League anytime soon.

You were proven right in January - but let’s give it a couple of months at least until you can claim you’re right about blokes that haven’t even signed for the club yet.supaclive said:

But he was captain at Wembley and has played in the Championship for us and others.
He was also captain at most of his other clubs.
Not the greatest player but made the most of his talents which is just what you want from a manager.
Personally, I hope he gives Fleetwood a thrashing and then steps back into his U21 role to continue his own development as a coach.

I'm very much under on the whelmometer currently!1 -
It’s been quite clear for a while that there isn’t mountains of money to spend on overhauling the squad so I don’t understand when folks get so irate about the situation.

WE didn't pay for May, a sponsor did apparently.sam3110 said:Nombe at £1m when we already paid for May wasn't going to happen.
Time will tell if it turns out to be a good deal for him, disappointed we decided he wasn't worth it, but pointless debating that now
I'm interested to know where this has come from.
I seem to recall people being 100% sure the previous shirt sponsor paid the £300k to Thomas Sandgaard to help him with finance the training ground renovation but, seeing as that is my father I enquired if my inheriatnce had taken a further hit and he confirmed it did not.
So be careful what you believe. These stories are often put out with an agenda in mind
100% mate reliable mate, the money for May did not come from pocket of the new owners.Henry Irving said:
Not doubting you but how reliable is your source on that @Plaaayer ?Plaaayer said:The only reason we stumped what was asked for May is because some money came in from a sponsor partner on the day that he was just about to sign for Bristol Rovers. The owners have put in the bare minimum they have to so anyone thinking we’re signing a top striker on a perm is off their heads.We’ll be relying on loans and free from hereon in I would expect unless something major changes.
Funny nobody picked up Plaaayer on this or called him a keyboard warrior

Because Charlie Boy and his group have been telling fans (who then tell us), there is plenty of money available.Callumcafc said:It’s been quite clear for a while that there isn’t mountains of money to spend on overhauling the squad so I don’t understand when folks get so irate about the situation.
Therefore if there is little cash we've been played again and the only people going to enjoy the next year are CM and the group who will be trousering significant salaries!
Whilst we continue to suffer and be lied to.
That's why.
Sadly.23 -

"Yeah he's good, quick, strong, intelligent, able to pass with either foot and dribble out with the ball. He's a CB but is currently playing at RB, he'd be perfect in a 3 at the back system." An Irish view on Abankwah, Clare's replacement?0

IF we sign Watson & Tedic, we have a very decent 12/13/14 if all fully fit and on form.
As said by someone else, the trouble is that will likely never happen and we've given most of our intended rivals a head start.0 -

We've been that club for near enough ten years now. I suppose I'm past the point of being angry about it.

He played over 150 games for us and I can't recall more than a handful where he "organised" some sort of defensive reguard masterclass. Which was my original point.
Ironically his best run of games for us, IMO, was at the start of the championship season when it was like the Alemo. It was also the season he played most games for us.
Great leader? No arguments for me. Great organisation of the back four? Not in my book. Sorry.
My favourite memories of him where one on one battles, especially Mitravic and, I think Wyke at Sunderland.5 -

It is the Watford owners though, they probably thought wow they’ve sacked their manager already what a well run clubRC_CAFC said:Genuine question: If he is a brilliant young centre back that they really value highly. Why would Udinese think, “I know who we’ll send him to, that random side in League One in England without a manager who have started the season really badly.”37 -
Crewe Alexandra signed him five minutes ago.ProperCharlton said:11
