Just to play devil's advocate - if (and it's a big if) the board said that all funds raised at the Port Vale game would go to GC for transfers would those choosing to boycott change their mind and actually attend? I realise it's not going to be a massive amount of money but it might be enough to tip the balance for one player. id pay twice 👍🏽

A bit harsh I believe kitty deserved a minutes applause a few can't be arsed but many would still out of respect including me, the loss of someone close shapes your life. I think the point is she wasn't any Tom, Dick or Harry. But because we do this for every Tom, Dick or Harry now its difficult to track and devalues it completely. A game with a minutes applause should be the exception and not the rule. And definitely not three times in a single game There not just TOM, dick or Harry to everyone, there sons, daughters, mums, dads and grandparents, just because we don’t know them all, or not centurions, makes them any less. There all gas family

About time someone told the truth, those players need a good kick up the ass, sugar coating it, isn’t gonna get results. Too many of our players need to grow a pair. We’re desperately short on quality, no leaders, no winners. But I also think GC looks short on a game plan, from what I’m watching, I don’t know what we’re good at??

I don’t think the main problem is the defence, we simply do not possess a game changer, someone who can find a pass, and certainly don’t have a goalscorer. This just adds up to very boring, predictable football

Locks cost us the goal? Regardless is a defenders job just to defend, or also play a part in starting off attacks? If somebody delivers a wicked in swinging corner to the far post there is every chance a goal will be scored. Dont matter if its lockyer or van dijk defending it. Sorry but I thought the goal was avoidable, if we’d at least been touch tight, we weren’t they scored. Sort of things you coach kids at an early age

we also don’t know the full amounts we were paid? But I bet we didn’t get a third to spend on players. This club has a decent record, of selling us the fans short. It’s been going on consistently since the late 70’s, since I’ve been supporting them. A third??? Lol we have spent way more than that. If we got £250,000 for the snake, £500,000 for Bodin and only received about £200,000 for Ellis so far that's only £950,000 roughly. We spent about £300-£350,000 on Nichols. £150,000 roughly on Sercombe £250,000 on Payne roughly That's about £750,000. Then how much on Burn, Mensah, Partington and THD. If you said £50,000 each roughly that's the £950,000. Not to mention signing on fees for player's like Rodman. Clough said they could not compete with our deal. Like I said it has to be close to 100%. That's rough, some could be higher, some lower. But I can't see how we have only reinvested 33% ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) ?? Would like to see your estimated to get it around a third. Maybe if you count the whole Ellis fee. Even then that would put the total at £1.5 million. We have spent more than £500,000 even if you under estimate the fees. you don’t and I don’t, know what we’ve received, only that it’s not anything like every other club seems to get. All I’ll say is, pay peanuts, get monkeys 👍🏽

I wasn’t there. My point wasn’t that we played well. It was that people really do love to exaggerate on here. but you weren’t there? Hard to comment surely 🤷🏽♂️

yes but not 100%, as you’ve suggested! Far from it Can't remember exactly what I said, but thought I said probably not far off it. A lot of fees were undisclosed, so we don't know how much money we waisted lol. we also don’t know the full amounts we were paid? But I bet we didn’t get a third to spend on players. This club has a decent record, of selling us the fans short. It’s been going on consistently since the late 70’s, since I’ve been supporting them.

How is it?? We have been through this loads of times before. Or Ellis, we had reinvested all of the money we received from Bodin and the snake roughly. We only got a part of the Ellis money upfront, which was spent on Payne. Don't forget DC wasted money on player's like Burn and Mensah as well as spending loads on Nichols. We paid for Partington, THD, Sercombe etc. We have reinvested a higher percentage than most teams at this level. Most sell there best player's and replace them with free transfers. yes but not 100%, as you’ve suggested! Far from it

oh my god wake up!! What did DC get as a % of previous business then? Not far off 100% of the money received most of the time. He just waisted it! well that’s bullshit👍🏽

Jesus Christ the amount of times in the past year that we’ve played “as bad as people have ever seen”, the performances must have got so much worse since our superb 2013-14 season. Did you enjoy the game?

If we don’t sign, at least 3 players, 2 strikers, were f**ked. Going down, end of. If none are signed, I will not be buying 3 season tickets next year.
