Sullivan sounds a warning

|

sullivan_5535cDavid Sullivan has declared that our end of season challenge could make the difference of adding a player or two to the squad in the summer.

He said: “The weekend’s draw with Stoke City was disappointing and frustrating in equal measure, particularly after Aaron Cresswell had got us off our feet with that magnificent free-kick.

“However, we have six matches left to play and must give our all in those games to ensure we pick up as many points as possible.”

He told the official site: “The prize money for each finishing  place could be the difference between signing a new player in the summer and improving the squad, so every point we gain is potentially vital.

“On that front, I can assure you we are already casting our scouting and recruitment far and wide in the hunt for talent to make us better next season.

“Targets are being identified and you can expect us to be doing plenty of exciting business in the transfer market this summer, as we did last year.”

    David Sullivan is talking about exciting business in the transfer market, would there be a season ticket renewal deadline coming up?

    the problem is that does sam know we want a good finish to the season? because on recent form,we haven’t been playing football like a club hoping to get a higher position in the league.

    I know 2m isnt small fry too most,but it seems a trivial amount when we coughed up 17m or whatever it was for Carroll & pay him 85-90k a week for sitting on his arse.Another thing we must thank Sam for,but ofc i will just be called a Sam hater,why lets the facts get in the way of a slagging,lol 😀

    Just think in Jan sitting 6th we could have got rid of BFS probably for 1or 2 mil max with only 6 months to go,and now so far we have dropped 3 places 3 mil I think and we could drop 2 more places,
    No stats man but that’s min of 3 mil worse off now Mr S you are telling us BFS HAS probably cost us 2 good players for next season so that’s us who suffer again not you,
    You decide to keep him so you buy us those 2 players as compensation for your mistake we all ready pay every week by having to watch the rubbish you rubber stamped by keeping BFS,it’s not rocket science when we get spanked this week send BFS daisy pulling
    BFS FOR CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW

    just get rid of sam we will get no where with him championship manager at best bfs out

    Just pay up his contract or put him on gardening leave there would not be any need for compensation.. surely it wouldnt cost much with only 2 months of his contract left. It must have more to do with the owners wanting to stick to their words and let Sam see out his contract.. they have a reputation as chairman who give managers a fair crack and it must be important to them that they keep that intact.

    The scenario pointed out by Mr Sullivan has been pointed out by contributors to C&H for some time now.Perhaps he should be sounding out the manager for starters. Allardyce’s “no brainer” team selections and late substitutions have left most supporters bewildered.The only reason I can see why Allardyce has not cleared out his desk is the compensation factor.Again Sullivan & Gold need to look at their own reason’s for allowing the slide to continue.I can assure you there will be no respecting the point this weekend against City.
