Huh? So your protest banners will say “can someone take responsibility so we can blame you please”. You are genuinely wanting to protest off the back of signing some players that didn’t work out, ending our most successful period in our history? What we achieved was remarkable, don’t throw your toys out of the pram because we went down. Most thought we would go down 9 months after arriving. I honestly have no idea what you would be protesting over. Doesn’t seem the OP does either. | ![](/images/avatars/21008.gif) |

Unfortunately loyal, they will just say they need to reduce the 90 million wage bill and recoup as much cash to save the club from going under, emotional blackmail. The wasting of the 75 million last season is crux of all this, surely big nose has to go? He presided over all this? | ![](/images/avatars/21555.gif) |

So you think we should have kept the big money players now in the Championship? Well I would advocate protesting if they followed that route, yes. [Post edited 10 Aug 2018 10:21]

I kind of on board with what you’re driving at but there’s no getting away from the fact that we’ve sold four of the five centre halves that we had with no noticeable replacement. Surely that is alarming to everyone, without question. | ![](/images/avatars/9328.gif) |

I have no doubt that will be corrected come the end of the loan window. As it stands it’s VdH and Rodon. It’s about the long term health of the club. | ![](/images/avatars/21008.gif) |

Who sanctioned buying those players that cost you 75 million, that you got 15 is it? Back for? You never know with the loans if you are still paying some of their wages too? Then there’s Bony?

The same people that sanctioned the purchase of Gylfi for 10m and sale for 40m and a whole host of other financially superb signings. Some work, some don’t. We were there for 7 years so we did far more good than bad. Can you imagine the work you would have to do for your club to stay up just one season let alone 7. | ![](/images/avatars/21008.gif) |

I know, but immediate health needs to be considered too. Surely one of Bartley or Amat could have been retained for the short term if the others were to be sold. The loan market isn’t exactly cheap either and there’s certainly no ‘retained value’ in that. I get it that we’ve only sold one starter from last week but we’ve also sold both suitable replacements so it’s disingenuous spin to suggest the impact isn’t massive. Other than that I still kind of agree that what needs to be done, needs to be done, but having one senior centre back going in to tomorrow’s game cannot be brushed over.

Bartley wanted out, Fede had to go as did Mawson. No idea the situation regarding Amat was. We had a PL squad, that had to be trimmed to a championship one. That’s what we have done. No spin nothing disingenuous, that’s simply what needed to happen and has happened. | ![](/images/avatars/21008.gif) |

LOL yeah sure..Mawson's money is too good I agree Fede wanted to go..alright.. Amat for 1 m? LOL..that's where sh!t starts to smell. Oh ok..we'll need 2 CBs to replace the departed and of course a CMF to replace Clucas..what do we get? Nada. That's the f*cking problem dimwit. [Post edited 10 Aug 2018 10:58]

Selling him for 1 m would have been tolerable if we brought in at least 1 new CB before deadline day plus Woods..as for a new striker and a back up CB we could have got them on loan later on..I wouldn't have minded much. But you do realise..Our net spend in the WORST in England this year..it's embarrassing..Our owners make the Allam family at Hull look very generous in comparison. Disgusting really. | ![](/images/avatars/23803.gif) |

That would defeat the object. We are doing this to improve the financial burden on the club, not swap it around. We can not afford Woods. Maybe a loan with a view to sign if promoted, but that’s it I am afraid. | ![](/images/avatars/21008.gif) |

You had three very good managers in a row, as soon as laundrup left the demise began. Rodgers is top class you were lucky to get him. Apart from gylfi who else did you make big on? You could say bony but you lost half buying him back and have paid him 5 million again in wages. All the good work done by roberto and Rodgers was undone. Nothing last forever though as you say, very hard to maintain it especially when you have clubs like Bournemouth and Burnley spending big. Seems like it’s all about good management, quite basic really, but very hard to attain. | ![](/images/avatars/21555.gif) |
