We've had penny wise pound foolish for the last two seasons. Where are we now?

I've been pound wise this season and saved myself a shipload of pennies by not getting a season ticket.

Nothing more to see here.

Balanced and fact-based as always.

Is this another one of Bill Phillips clangers? Whichever genius came up with this idea needs another lesson in saving pennies but costing pounds handbook of avoiding ****! But then they learnt so much last season and look where we are because of it.

In any event, nobody is completely indispensable; there are plenty of others who could do an excellent job, and we should not pre-judge the work of the new man in the post. Rather, wish him, as well as Damien, all the very best.
It's a shame we could not get rid of one of the players we don't want, or one go one light as he was an important member of the club. :keepie:

Would like to know who's decision that was. I'm sure a compromise was negotiated but it worries me that this was unattenable under any circumstances.

DD has been an excellent physio for this club, we've often heard of almost miracle abilities!

But we have no need of nor can afford 2 physios, and Gareth Law has been under guidance of one of the best in the business!

If true, this one might have to go into the penny wise, pound foolish camp. As I understand it, DD was worth much more than the sum of his parts to the squad. We might end up paying the money we've saved on some sort of emergency loanee for the sake of not having him around.
Worse yet, not having his skill available to us could just be the difference between 5th place and 6th.
This is all bit End of Days, but I've seen longer odds come home.

Matt.

Yes-very skilled profession and Damian was very good at his job.Gareth will do a decent job I'm sure but Damian's experience will be sorely missed.

Hell.

This worries me greatly. Nothing against Gareth Law but it will be a big loss losing Damien (who is much liked and respected) with a replacement who is inexperienced. Does not fill you with confidence!

I am pretty sure they have managed to get rid of the security guard for the treatment table although I think cooper has probably taken it with him as possession is nine tenths of the law.
