Makes my teeth itch.

Teigngull wrote: ↑18 Feb 2018, 16:03 What's the bleeding obsession with how big or small the budget Nicholson had compared to others ?
Surely it's not what you've got that counts it's what you do with it. Both Nicholson & Owers had or have no clue about building a successful squad that is fact, they've both wasted money on absolute tripe & should be condemned for doing so.
All this fawning at Nicholson's feet is pathetic, yes he was a great player servant to our club but absolutely shocking as a manager , no tactical nous, too pally with his players, & some of his sound bites were extraordinary to say the least e.g. " there will be no fitter team of players in the National League this season " proved to be one of the unfittest , " the new manager will think he's won the national lottery with these players " Gowling, Injury prone ( was before he signed ) Clarke, injury prone , Fallon, not fit for purpose, Pittman, injury prone, Gray, not fit for purpose, etc etc.
As for Owers , too many useless signings, no tactical nous, taken too long to build some sort of team that resembles a competitive team, too many players on loan , his obsession with Reid is baffling at best, couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo etc etc.
The sooner we're down the better, then may be we can move on.

Anyway, he's an old codger now,

Do I really need to point out the obvious?

I'd be much happier than most to move on from talking about our previous management. I'm not the one that keeps bringing him up but I'm also not going to sit back and ignore the unfair criticism he gets from people.

If you want to continue with such a blinkered outlook then you would be better off ignoring my posts. Just look at the Steve Breed thread, that'll explain why the budget makes a difference and also highlight some of the difficulties he had trying to assemble a team, let alone a squad.
