The General C. Krulak Thread XV

[sfx412]

General now the transfer window has closed and we still have most of those who I believe O'Neill was asked to remove from the wage bill, how will that impact on the clubs future financial thinking? I appreciate avoiding spending on new inputs has helped the balance sheet tremendously if not the teams short too medium prospects on the field, but has the objects outlined pre Mon's exit and just after been achieved?

[Lambert and Payne]

General,

Any chance of a quick pm when the decision's made so i can stick me some money on it?!!!

;-)

and me i could do with a few quid this month

[west sussex villan]

PM me general and i'll donate the money to the club so we can buy some bloody players!
I know you don't discuss transfers but any chance you could get someone on here who does talk about them? I have a few questions.

[Mazrim]

Yes, could you have somebody from the club reveal all our plans for future transfers to the watching press please General. Some bloke wants to know something.

[midnite]

Hi general, I don't know I this has been asked before but I for one don't have a clue what's involved and out of curiosity would like to know.
With buying a player what has to happen? It surely isn't a case of picking up the phone, seeing if someone wants to join if so, get his name printed on the back of his shirt. Collect his P45 and away we go.

There is so much that goes on deadline day. Why is that? What has to happen? Are insurance companies involved with the moving of players so if there's then is an injury he's covered or is that down to the player?
I just find it interesting is all and just want to know what processes are involved when selecting a player then going about buying him. What kind of things usually turn up in contracts (eg is a house involved for relocation etc). I understand you can't probably be too specific with that bit. We know that some paperwork has to be then faxed to the FA. Which I find funny. Talk about embracing technology! The FA not heard of emails?  What other stuff has to be done? It does seem a complicated process. Or is it quite easy once you've met the player and he's had his medical?
Cheers general

Thats right, twist what i said. I didn't mention future transfers at all, I just want to know the reason for lack of transfers in the summer. We can't go forward without signing players. Or are you easily pleased? sounds like it.

Hi General,

just seen a post that curbishley has been interviewed !  THIS CANNOT HAPPEN !!!

Please see http://www.heroesandvillains.info/forumv3/index.php?topic=39650.0

to note that he is not wanted here by most of the fans going by the 3 votes

[Nastylee]

Curbishly would be ridiculous as would our caretaker. Why do I get the feeling the appointment is going to be underwhelming?

[The Walshmeister]

Curbishley = No
KevMac      = No
Koeman     = Yes
Sven          = Yes


Please pass on my thoughts. I am serious about placing my season card in the drawer and not spending my kids inheritance down VP if Curbs gets the job. If KevMac gets it, I will be disappointed but will continue to support the club. If an internationally recognised manager with credentials gets the job, I will relax and admire my clubs ambitions to be amongst the best. A substandard appointment will take 10k off the attendance! What would that cost us? If the best costs, the fans will be back. Appoint pants, we all lose.

Thanks GK and continue to be our voice (this is my opinion, before anyone has a dig!)

We have a thread for manager chat guys and I am sure the general knows where that thread is and will have noted that the most uninspiring man in Britain only has 3 votes.

Just to reiterate Ozz's post, we all know there is a thread where Britain's least inspiring football manager has polled 3/518 votes (a whopping 0.6 percent).

Just to be 100 percent sure we all know where to find it, it's here:

[ozzjim]

Should we make the point again that only 3 of 518 votes cast in a poll on a Villa website have voted for a man that spent money more shabbily than MON while achieving lower league placings and then getting the sack at his last job over 2 years ago can be found though the link on your post above Paulie?

No maybe we should leave it there.

No winking required. At all.

Are those 3 people banned yet?

[ozzjim]

Once they have been identified they will be. Insanity is not something we need in these parts! Clear heads are essential at a time like this!

[Villa'Zawg]

It was me. I voted for Curbishley as a type of dirty protest because Pellegrini wasn't in the poll. Unfortunately, I hadn't thought it through fully and was unable to change my vote when Pellegrini was added.

General, please strike one vote off Curbishley and add it to Pellegrini before you next speak to Randy and Paul.
