I guess problem is there's very little out there with window shut to spend on and when the window was open we still had a realistic chance of the play-offs. Sacking KJ was never on the horizon until the new signings came in and have made us worse if anything.George M wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 5:42 pm Just a thought but wouldn’t have been better to have kept Jackett and Gallen and invested the 100k + severance pay into two decent players. Jackett may have kept us up and we could have let him go at the season end.
What right minded manager will come to us knowing we are almost certainly NL bound
Where does this £100k+ come from?George M wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 5:42 pm Just a thought but wouldn’t have been better to have kept Jackett and Gallen and invested the 100k + severance pay into two decent players. Jackett may have kept us up and we could have let him go at the season end.

You mean near impossible, providing anyone is brave or stupid enough to take on the poisoned chalice!
Our new manager really has got a mountain to climb with our bad squad. It’s Kenny’s team and it’s sh*tChocolate_brownie wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 5:13 pm A genuine possibility now. Originally thrown around as a bit of hyperbole in response to a patch of bad form. Clear now that this is much more serious than a bit of bad form. We can’t score a goal let alone win a game.
Really worrying.
It’s my best guess. Half a seasons wages each. It must be at least that.

Very good point about “spin”. I’m seriously starting to think that Travis is taking us all for mugs. His interviews and soundbites are meaningless. This club is hurtling towards the conference and things will get very very nasty if the unthinkable happens. A relegation will eradicate any positivity gained from getting us back in to the football league in the first place. It will also trash the legacy of Justin Edinburgh. They may as well tear his name down from the main stand because there is no way in hell the great man would want his name on a conference stadium after the amount of work he put into getting the very same club out of that ghastly division.KC & sunshine band wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 6:12 pm The dilemma is the mention of decent players
The recruitment team ( no responsibility with me guvnor I sit on a committee ) who have recruited Fletcher, Davis, Embleton , Embleton again, Reilly, Smyth, the aggressive six signings in the January window and Jacket would appear to have no idea how to interview, how to recruit managers or scout decent players
The marketing, spin and spiel is wearing vey thin, getting all a bit embarrassing
Fair enough, but we'd still have needed to compensate him at the end of the season if we wanted to get rid.George M wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 6:13 pmIt’s my best guess. Half a seasons wages each.

Didn’t he only have a rolling one year contract ? But aside from that , I still think as a businessman, surely the money waisted on the sacking compensation, would have been better invested in playersSmendrick Feaselberg wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 6:31 pmFair enough, but we'd still have needed to compensate him at the end of the season if we wanted to get rid.
Jacket might have kept us up . 100 k would be useless if you cannot sign players now until the end of season.George M wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 5:42 pm Just a thought but wouldn’t have been better to have kept Jackett and Gallen and invested the 100k + severance pay into two decent players.

The players brought in during January are worse than the players they were replacing with the exception of Khan who does look like a decent player.gshaw wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 5:50 pmI guess problem is there's very little out there with window shut to spend on and when the window was open we still had a realistic chance of the play-offs.

No way Jackett was keeping us up. Our players looked like they were playing with fear. The effort shown today by the players was much better under Matt.moonwalk19 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 7:06 pmJacket might have kept us up . 100 k would be useless if you cannot sign players now until the end of season.George M wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 5:42 pm Just a thought but wouldn’t have been better to have kept Jackett and Gallen and invested the 100k + severance pay into two decent players.

How many compensation packages is Ling still paying off at the moment? Is it just Jackett, Gallen, Jobi and Embleton?Smendrick Feaselberg wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 6:31 pmFair enough, but we'd still have needed to compensate him at the end of the season if we wanted to get rid.
