If we don't invest this summer we are effed. Look at our saleable assets. Virgil is the last of the big money sales. Bitton will get us a decent wedge but nothing near what we have sold out best players for recently. Our policy is failing because Virgil was the last player brought in that we will be able to sell and he was bought two years ago. Since then we've squandered cash on failures and guys who'll do a job. |

Fans have accepted the team becoming some kind of finishing school for the epl. Player profit is talked about more than squad consistency. That said, the board will (probably rightly) have felt that we had enough quality to get past Malmo. |

The transfers this year have been shaped by failure to qualify in for the CL last year. So Allan, Janko, Ciftci* is what we get after missing out. Imagine what it's going to be like next year. A couple might turn out to be good signings, but they're low cost gambles in based on hope rather than expectation. |

That's my fear too There seems to be an acceptance of where we are now The club also do their best to put the fear of god into us by telling us how we could end up going the way of the huns if we don't keep paying through the nose Also seems as if it's harder to organise fans to do anything these days, should it not be easier with sites like this and twitter / facebook etc? |

Same as last year. A few folk will chant Lawwell GTF, some floof will respond to them saying 'Do you want to end up like the huns?' An argument will ensue, we'll win a few games and it will all be forgotten. |

They did have enough quality to get past malmo,the board did spend enough to give us a tilt at the champions league. As others have said we did not invest wisely enough and combined with poor performances it has prevented us qualifying. The blame for that does not lie with the board,it lies with the management and whoever is signing the players. Malmo,maccabi tel aviv and bate all qualified - how much did they invest i wonder ? We are doing something fundamentally wrong on the footballing side. |

Sorry but I don't agree with this The board didn't sanction the signing of players to make our team better, they followed their usual strategy of signing (mostly) cheap players that they hoped we could turn around for a profit and keep us at pretty much the same level as we have been for the last few years This is on top of them letting what was a great squad a few years back dwindle in quality when what they should have been doing was at the very least maintaining the standard of the team to give us half a chance at CL qualification There was no need to spend crazy money to do this either but in their infinite wisdom they decided we only needed to be slightly better than the rest in the SPL and crossed their fingers that we would get lucky in Europe They're using the big money flying about down south as an excuse for going after "prospects" as "it's the market we're in now" Our strategy is quite clear |

The board are responsible for many many things which are wrong with the club. However, the manager inherited a squad which had played in the group stages in the CL. From that he lost Forster and was handed Gordon. He also lost Samaras. New signings notwithstanding, we had and have a squad who are capable of qualifying for the CL. It's not the board's fault that the team failed. Edited by idyllwild, 27 Aug 2015, 10:30 AM.

Sunday games due to playing in the Europa definitely definitely have an impact on this. |

We have a board of tories running the club like you'd expect tories to. Everything for sale, downsize at a dramatic rate and reward those at the top handsomely for doing it. effing sick of it and them. What will it take for the support to do something? |

I want Lawwell to go now. However it won't have any effect unless there is a change in business policy from the board of shareholders. And that won't happen. |

You do remember how badly that CL squad got spanked out the competition at their previous attempt after scraping by a bunch of no marks from Kazakstan to qualify? The manager inherited a squad who couldn't cut it at that level, we still can't - nothing has changed in 2 seasons. |

Theyre doing a helluva job of ruining good football teams we have by selling the best players on and then not using the money wisely to strengthen. Expect Peter to have his state of the nation address soon and all be rosy again |
