Middleby has no ****ing clue what he's doing, that much is obvious. Might explain why Fury folded as well, with Middleby at the helm, they had no chance.

Bosnar looks to be on his way to UAE FFS Middleby OUT.
Spiranovic will do then
News just in, Remo is meeting up with a potential signing in Rome this weekend. He is a former international and has played in the EPL and Serie A, played mostly as a playmaker. He got busted for doing drugs/beating up his girlfriend back in the early 2000s but Con is keen to sign him.
...I miss the good old days :'(
Livio Prieto :wub:
Spira training with Victree.
I don't get all the Middleby out stuff. The guy is running a club owned by a man who is losing money hand over fist and selling everything to try and resolve his debts. Money is not going to be free flowing.
I have no doubt if the club could afford it GVE would be gone.
We got Heskey, there is no way Tinks is going to spring for an Australian marquee and Bosnar was never going to fit in the salary cap. Probably explains why the club never really pursued Kewell.
I'd be judging Middleby after Tinks gets his shit together, until then the club will continue to be a basket case.
Tarek elrich possibly being signed by adelaide
Palmer is clearly one of the best sports administrators the world has ever seen and GVE is better than Sir Alex. So must be Middleby f&*king things up for us.
Everyones grievances on here seem to be his inability to get rid of GVE and the recruitment of players.
The GVE thing seems obvious. The club is stuck with him. Pretty sure GVE was at the club before Middleby came on as CEO. I want GVE gone as much as the next person, but I can also appreciate why the club hasn't done it.
On the recruitment of players. I don't think our squad is far off the mark. Sure we need some experience in the centre of defence and attacking midfield but it comes at a cost and I can also see why we can't pony up and use the second marquee status. I still think on paper we under achieved last season. I'll blame the manager and not the CEO for that.
People whinge at the PR dribble that comes out of the QandA sessions. Seriously, what CEO doesn't do that. You want him to come out and tear strips off the FFA or the players or GVE? That isn't going to happen.
I can't see too much that Middleby is doing all that wrong.
Sorry Sammydog but your whole arguement is based on flawed knowledge. Middleby was here before GVE and as such had a say in his return. Since its been all down hill since the pretender returned one can safely say Middleby has failed. RM and GvE can get the f&*k out.
I think it's pretty obvious that the cb we sign will have a major influence on how our season pans out, even more so than heskey IMO, but unless its a known Aussie I just can't see the current management picking up the right import
Did Middleby sign GVE on the extension though?
Didn't Middleby turn down signing Griff?
Shunned for eternity. imo.
maybe u should meet him in the carpark
Back to transfers
Richie Garcia is apparently on the outer at heart, he would be a top No10 we desperately need.
Also GVE has a interview on soccer stoppage time next week should be interesting
