What came next was absolutely the case but, the moment we went from a lower top division club that was run properly, running a small deficit, to a club with massive debt left us vulnerable.
The leagues are littered with clubs that spent too much and floundered during that period.
The advent of...
History tells us the last time we gambled it all went pear shaped and we ended up in League 2.
I will be surprised if we don't get one more, but it has to be the right player at the right price.
As daft as it sounds, and how much we were being outplayed by Ipswich at home, bringing KKH on to man mark Clarke may have got us a 0-0 in that match. However, it is not the Lampard way. Shit or bust.
He is, but out of our pay range I would imagine. Depends how desperate Leicester are to get rid, and may loan with a much reduced contribution from the receiving team. However, doesn't really fit our character assessment and appears a disruptive influence.
I see two of Watford's loans have returned to their respective clubs. Don't know if they were even starting.
Watford v Ipswich may lay don a marker for what comes next.
I absolutely think Rudi will be back to top form. There were glimpses at Stoke. The only thing that can hold him back IMHO is if his shoulder troubles him. Hamer took at couple of seasons with us to hit top form albeit in a slightly less able team. Rudi has only been here one and a half seasons...
They are aiming for the playoffs. I have never seen anything to say he doesn't want to be there, other than people equating his form with him wanting to leave. If they decide to cash in, it wont be for £6 million. You are saying his worth has dropped £9 million in a year? Agree £15 million is...
Hamer was voted the best player in the Championship last year. They said they would not sell him for less than £15 million. I will repeat that, the best. He was voted Sheff U player of the season in the Prem the season before.
He has been injured recently and is trying to play himself back into...
If any so called supporter disses our own player when they are on the pitch, who does anyone think that benefits? Certainly not us. Support helps players get through bad patches.
The original Hadji was actually poor when he had that sore foot injury and had to put steak in his boot. When he recovered, he was class and annoyingly went to the Villa.
