  • Offer another contract to Ante Covic..........and we get rejected again

  • Ring every local goal keeper in town until one answers the phone to board a plane that evening, so to avoid fielding a 15 year old keeper

  • Sign an 18 year old injury replacement from the NYL, albeit has worked out ok

  • Offer a 31 year old a 2 & 1/2 year deal on rumoured to be 300-400k a season.......only for the 31 year old to break down

  • In an effort to sign anyone half decent, we offer 3 year terms and employ the equivalent of George Weah's cousin to seal the deal, just to have him walk out on the deal leaving us with George Weah's cousin.


Hope I haven't missed anyone.

Would seriously like to know what good things that Lawrie has supposedly done in his time at the helm other than his trump esq twitter engagment
So let's just get a couple of things straight here.

The coach other than research and telling the club whom he wants signed or let go is responsible for this how??

Jones says I want player x
It then up to club to get the deal across the line

Hey bag the Gypo out all you like he more than fair game here.


But if Jones is up to his nuts responsible for the signing of players and is at fault here for these run of outs as you put it.
Then may is suggest the Gypo is to blame for not getting Jones out of this role at the club

Maybe he would be better pressed at this point in time in actually teaching our mid field to do their job better so our back 4 are not so much under the pump
