Ed just remind me how much these "sows ear's"are being paid? I would guess most are on at least 25k pounds per week and SD is on 5M pounds per year according to reports. I don't expect them to be Man. City but "sows ears" for what we paid for them and what they take home I expect a little more.
{Ed025's Note - i think you will find that its a lot more than that Mike, and in terms of quality im afraid we are far from silk purses mate, that will hopefully change in the next couple of windows barring sanctions and maybe the style of the play will improve..

Actually Ed mate I believe that we have a pretty good squad who up to now are under-performing. Results over the last few games have shown an improvement. I just don't agree with the tactics employed especially when playing at Goodison. I live in hope that they will improve and this season we will not have to go through the last game agony of the last few seasons. As far as the next few windows I believe that we should be focusing on young talent for the future. No more over-the-hill and/ or aging duds who no other team wants and who are happy to take the millions from us as a retirement pay-off.
{Ed025's Note - our squad is pretty decent i would say Mike, but if we get either injuries or suspensions especially to key players we could be in trouble, in a perfect world focusing our transfers on young up and coming talent seems a good way to go mate, but us getting to Bramley Moore in tact is paramount for me so we will have to see how Thelwell sees things..

You say getting to Bramley Moor is paramount Ed but once we are there, it will shift to ‘staying in the Prem at Bramley Moor is paramount…’
It feels like the move won’t save us from the state we are in sometimes! When do we run out of hope?
{Ed025's Note - im a glass half full person BR i cant help it, our time will come again mate and the new stadium will be the catalyst believe me..

Am with you Ed. I am quietly confident we will get ourselves back in/ to regular top half finishes and progress as a club.
Just need clarity with the FFP malarky.
Someone's in for a tanking 1 game when it all just clicks. Love it to Utd at next home game ??.
{Ed025's Note - i hope your right Mocker mate..

I think we are missing a midfielder who looks for the ball and can stamp his authority in middle of the pitch.
