Zero improvment We are 13th in the table below even Bruce's Wednesday and he has been there less time than Smith. Smith's doing a pretty poor job so far. He has to improve and quick.

VillaJ100 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 It's the same story of too many shitty draws. Swap our number of wins with draw and we'd be up there as we've I my lost one more than sheff. Utd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have McGinn and Jack back to make us tick and come away with a 2-0 win. When was the last time we won by more than one goal there? Even in the MON "glory" years we only won with a late goal there each time. Hoping Che Adams picks up a knock for them at the weekend as think we'll struggle to keep him under wraps. Certainly a goal we could lose with how lax we've been away from home since December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Blose did is worse than breaking ffp. They not only broke it but signed players when they were not allowed to. A Utter shit fest. This should have been dealt with much earlier in the season.

VillaJ100 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 If we'd done it we'd have been kicked out of the league probably. Absolute piss takers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Based on how much money we spent it's an absolute disgrace that blues are above us and is probably gonna finish above us by the end of the season. Dean Smith done an awful job so far, truely pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have to balance the books and you get a decent offer in turned that down and just ignored the rules then you should get a hefty points deduction. If they get a 12point deduction they won't be getting promoted and they will ha e to sell cheadams in the summer whatever happens. No one else has any resale value there.

If no decision is made soon and they go up nothing can happen as EFL rules dont apply in top flight. Be uproar if a decision not made soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but the EFL clearly don't have the cajones to tackle it, it was last August they signed pederson despite being under the soft embargo, the fact the EFL eventually signed that transfer off was laughable. The fact that nearly 7 months later they still haven't been dealt with is ridiculous Edit And we're at the business end of the season now, any punishment will be dragged out through the courts with appeal after appeal Edited February 28, 2019 by Jimzk5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’d have possibly gone down and then bust. Far better chance of “balancing the books” keeping him firing them to the top half of the table. Even with a points deduction and fine they’re better off holding him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
