Thread: Rigg. What's the point?

  1. #1

    Question Rigg. What's the point?

    SD is on record saying he does not expect to make any signings in the January window.

    Why are we paying Rigg?

    That a a good question BT and there is going to be considerable unrest I think if things carry on as they are doing ( I have to say the murmurs have started with people re Dyche s Tenure ).
    I know we have discussed it many times recently in a round about way but I do think we should be told exactly what this man is doing and if the club are going to invest and give Dyche the backing he’s earned if we’re being truthful.

    I’ve mentioned the three signings previously Wells , Vydra and Gibson totalling 32 million approx but when I thought about it there is also Heatons money and Vokes money , another miserly 15 million on top so now we’re at 50 million quid Ish with players who don’t play and won’t be involved and Lads who have left leaving us with a smaller Weaker squad .

    WHAT is going on ?

    "WHAT is going on ?"

    Wells who never got a look in under Dyche, is knocking them in for fun at Loftus Road, right now we have a very leggy squad, but still Vydra, Gibson and Drinkwater are warming the bench. Fees and wages going straight down the pan.

    I'm beggared if I can understand "WHAT is going on ?" army88.

    Things have just got a tad more complicated of our board. A month ago we were top ten and looking certain to trouser another £100 million plus TV money next season, there was scope to free up some spending money for Sean in January, even if the DP store would have been unlocked with great reluctance, it was feasible 'without putting the financial future of the club at risk' as they like to say they won't do.

    But now, look at the league table, look at the next four games, by the end of January Mr Garlick's bean counters could be calculating not next season's TV money, but next season's parachute payments. If I were Sean, instead of continuing to bang my head against the Turf Moor Boardroom wall, I'd feck off and find another club, BFC having made his reputation, are now in the process of ruining it. But that's up to him, maybe he's a good naval man, prepared to go down with his ship, but I'd be jumping into the lifeboat if I were him.

    Seriously sinkov, even with my prudence barometer we MUST have access to £50,000,000 available to boost the squad? The players are there, we just need to buy them.

    There's the kid who plays alongside Wells at QPR, the Bristol City captain, the young shooting star at Huddersfield, the Derby right back and the free scoring right winger at Hull.

    I'm phooked if I am naming names, let Rigg get on his bike and get some bloody deals done!

    Terrier Taxis are heading for receivership if we don't start moving some players around soon!

    A lot of people un happy Bt who sit around me ___ maybe it is time for outside investment and the directors to accept that if they have contributed as much as they are willing to do they should allow others to take us forwards .

    I'm all for us being a family institution and being run by prudent business men if they allow us to progress ( try to , I know no guarantees ).

    I really do think we've come to a cross roads and some serious decisions need to be made.

    Its split i know -opinion , the fear of the unknown but as it is at the moment I can see us sinking quickly.
