It's more the "we" and "us" bull that's annoying.

People who post that kind of stuff without understanding the reasons are the blind ones, no one else.

Ah the old 'rose tinted specs' boring diatribe. It's so easy to blast people as being positive.

He is wrong in this in my opinion.

Sorry Brother but I just don't know where all this rubbish about the cap comes from. How do you know how close we are to the cap, you don't know how some players deals are structured or what they earn for a start. We have some issues at the club but you go overboard with your criticism. It actually seems like you have some personal issue with the club that clouds the way you think.

The Brother has a couple of valid points though. The club has had plenty of time to sort out training facilities and they are now rushing around trying to do something that they could of done yonks ago.

However the bit about inexperience is rubbish. Iest and Barry have not coached at SL level before so Crusaders have the most inexperienced

It's fair comment, a happy medium is required. I agree with his sentiments personally. We simply must have circa 200k on the cap left, I cannot see how we cannot. Berrigan must have been on around 130k, and unless we are paying silly money for Phelps then he cannot be far wrong with the 200k assessment IMO.

It does a bit.

I am sorry to say I am in the glass half empty gang, although the club can not be blamed for the selfishness of Tansey or the personal issues of Berro, the lack of half back cover (you can see the injuries coming a mile off) & for me the unispiring signing of Phelps( who in my opinion is steady at best ) have me feeling well and truly deflated before a ball has been kicked/passed.

I hope to f*&k the prove me well and truly wrong on Sunday ....Come on uulllaaaa!!

Clubs in crisis and Brother wants us to go shopping in York

Or have i got wrong end of stick

Did they have the funds in place?

Harlequins and Catalans are also inexperienced.

Going by how badly it was written, I'm doing to say that the OP may have had a few glasses of vino.

AGREE WITH EVERY WORD

Can't we at least wait until we've been whupped on Sunday before we start all the wailing and breast beating and the calls to sack the coach/board?

I agree, I have many serious concerns about the club, but can't the negativity wait until after Sunday?

a win against the Dobbins and no doubt many will be tipping us for Old Trafford

Get to the red side because he's passionate about his club?

A lot of fans are feeling down about the club at the minute, myself included, doesn't stop people like The Brother going to games or spending money on the club though.

Maybe we should all get to the RED side?

Yep off there.

With a points difference like that we'll never challenge the top 4.

Worse thing is is that f comes before k so you are above us in the league table !!!!

And B comes before them both.

Been that way for most of the past 25 years, so not really a suprise.

Every-one is entitled to their own opinion that is what the forum is about, a couple of valid points have been raised imo.
I posted last year that my hubby did not want us to renew our passes, as a team we are forever patching up and using different combinations etc...Now we should celebrate the signing of Phelps because he is a fullback who we can utilise every where else



I talked my hubby around and we have renewed, however I am indeed one of the most optimistic fc fans there is but my rose tinted glasses are starting to steam up, I fear it could be a long season ahead.

I am just thankful we have still got a club.

Excellent post, exactly they way I feel! I go home and away every week no matter what's happening with the club, players etc but my patience is starting to wear thin!
