That does not make it ok though !

So we are saying that SL will not back KM in the transfer market ?

To be fair SL had a history of backing managers, but in KM this trend has suddenly stopped !

So who's fault is it ?

He has backed him, too the tune of over £1m already, which is on top what he gave coppell.

But as lansdown has said over the last 18months, we need to reduce the squad size, which Millen has been told he has to do before adding any more.

So far he's brought in 4 (2loans) and got 3 of the bill.

.....but Lansdown had to sanction these spends, so surely we should be asking questions of SL?

?GJ, SL, KM, the 36 squad players all surely to blame......oh and SC.

I was there and I think my summary of the game was pretty spot on. Two bad teams battling it out to see who was slightly worse, we really had nothing going forward at all... No-one had a particularly good game the only entertaining part was some of the stupid songs we sang!

in which all 4 of those were successful! If it weren't for Pitman, Stead and Caulker we'd be seriously in it right now, albeit Caulker was 'recommended' to be signed by Twentyman and Stead was in talks with us whilst Coppell was still here, but Millen has made 2 of his own real signings in Stead and Pitman and those two are the only real successful players we have in the squad right now. You can go on and say that it's all down to Millen but he's come into a squad full of players he didn't buy himself or really want/need in his team. On the other hand, he's had more than enough time to make his impact on the side, maybe he's just out of ideas?!

So your saying sl should of questioned gj signings a bit more. But surely a chairman must trust his manager to do the right thing.

All new managers come to clubs with other managers players but he knew what he had to work with so can't really see the problem

The way things are going you can't help but wonder if SL really thinks of KM as a long term appointment.

We'll be getting rid of about 10 players in a few months anyway - surely if he wants the manager to be a success he needs to back him NOW, big squad or not.

At the moment it's in the lap of the God's whether we go down or not, we don't seem to be taking any measures to try and ensure we avoid it.
