this time next week

Apparenty, he dropped Gilks because it would have been Gilks’ 10th game and we’d have had to pay Rangers a fee for him.

But aside from that, you still reckon Sharpe is picking the team?[/quote]

What do you mean ‘aside from that’?

Barrow didn’t drop Gilks,he was told he couldnt play him,hence he wasn’t allowed to select the team he wanted too.

Its not that difficult is it?

Hence,puppet.

‘Sorry Graham, you can’t play Gilks because it will cost the club money’ is your definition of Sharpe picking the team is it?

Never happens at any club that, does it?

Who says we did?

Does it really matter who was in goal, we won ffs.

Okay, the keeper buggered up for their 2nd goal, but he certainly made up for it with two cracking saves a few minutes later which would have had us dead and buried had they gone in.

It not the first time and certainly won’t be the last that a player has been frozen out because of contractual arrangements.

I personally think we should had saved all the cash spent on Bogdan, Gilks and the Stoke keeper, and just played Jussi with the youngster as back up. We wouldn’t have been in any worse a position.

Because it cost nothing to sign him as a backup keeper.[/quote]

Yeah I get that Standish but with more than 10 games remaining when he signed it was always likely he could play enough games to trigger the fee. I’m surprised the club agreed to the terms if they didn’t want to pay anything. Just seems a bit daft when you’re in a relegation scrap and need the best players available to you.

Im sick to the back teeth of Whelan’s penny pinching.
If he had invested a few million last summer and built on our title win and feel good factor then we wouldnt be in the shit we are now in.

Yeah, but who appointed those managers?

Whelans time is done. By installing David Sharpe, it allowed him, selfishly, to keep a foot in the door, so to speak. Rather than selling us and cutting all ties.

Make no mistake, the selling of Yanic will have been engineered. It was made out like he had slapped a transfer request in. Maybe he did. But there was more to it than that. Once the club learned of interest in him, and the money being talked, they decided to take the coin.

A great decision, financially. 7 million was literally a steal, for a player worth no more than 3. (In my opinion)
A bad decision, football wise. As we lost our main attacking threat.
