Parker out

[ClaretinBudapest]

Strangely we ended up with almost 59% possession, more passes and greater pass accuracy than Sunderland and that's after they overran us in the first half hour. So what did we do with all that possession and pass accuracy, keep playing it back to Trafford?

Tippy,tappy then back to Trafford with the defenders getting progressively more irate because there was no movement up front or nobody coming deep for them to pass to.It was like we were time warped back to the VK teams in the PL last season.We even gave the ball away on numerous occasions and Trafford was almost lobbed again.It was laughable.

We have not signed as yet a single creative type of player in this window, but sold a stack of them and the result is there to see. Team's will stand off us and challenge us to break them down. How do you do that with no width and no pace or creativity?? The club must sort this out ASAP or we willl struggle.

If we sell Koleosho after all the other sales I suspect ALK are bailing out, we are selling players we should be buying, Garlick must be pissing himself.

It might be Garlick instigating the fire sale because he wants all of his money back.

After the car crash of last season and the VK debacle there could be a lot of investors who want their dosh back.I think the Pace & Co. have realised that their 5 year plan is dead in the water.

All this unrest and all caused because many fans wanted rid of Garlick because he would not spend silly money, even though, under his and JB's Chairmanship, along with a steady set of Directors, the club was doing quite well, both financially and on the field in the PL.

The fans got what they wanted so they should stop moaning about the consequences.

Bit harsh that Sub.Most on here just wanted a bit more investment than Garlick was prepared to put in knowing he was selling the club.Nobody on here wanted us to change the playing squad from the one that won the Championship in 2022/2023.Just a couple of quality additions would have been fine.
It was Pace & Co. who sanctioned the massive squad changes together with VK I presume.The owners were trying to make us a club with “global reach" which will never happen.
In my humble opinion we are now where we belong as a club-in the Championship and probably a mid table finish.It suits me if we play attractive football and the players put a shift in.

Can anyone give me some positives - PLEASE?

Certainly.... ALK and the shareholders have made a sh1t load of money...... AND reduced the overall wage bill by half.

It'a an ill wind.....etc, after seeing that team sheet at 2.30 I was straight onto t'internet and had a decent bet on Sunderland. Easy money.

A lot of luck comes into football and Garlick got lucky with Dyche. Garlick should have backed Dyche and invested in the playing side the season we got into Europe, but he only had his own financial interest at heart.

Once Garlick saw that their was money to be made through BFC his mindset changed as his main intention was to walk away with a massive profit. The only thing BFC saw from the profits created by Dyches shrewd management where at Barnfield (that was on Dyches insistence) and the disabled stands, forced on us by the Premier league.

We have now inherited foreign owners who have only their own interest at heart. I honestly believe this lot won't be hanging around for much longer, they can see the writing is on the wall and this project is running out of steam
