Don't blame Rogers blame Madejski

[sawyers left arm]

If your not given anything to work with what do you expect. As far as I am concerned Madejski has what he wants now high earners going and kids taking their place.
I expect bottom 6 this year and nothing more.

Wake up everyone all that is happening here is Madejski lining his pockets before he goes. Where has all the money gone? Back in Mr Mads pockets

Speaking of money......when are those finance reports we were promised.

FOUR players in permanently
THREE on loan

Eleven transferred out/released

[sandman]

The manager did not want those players.

[winchester_royal]

Exactly.

Money in: 10million + loan fees for Rosie and Harps

Money out: 3million max

The manager did not want those players.

Are you thick?

So he didn't want Doyle? Or Hunt? Or BK?

[sandman]

No, but i'm starting to think you might be.

[Royal Lady]

No - the manager was told he had to sell before he could buy. If he didn't want some of those players, he's an even worse Manager than I currently consider him to be.

Madejski has stripped the club of its assets ready to sell on to someone else, but this will backfire now, because no-one will want the club in its present position, the fans have no faith in the management, JM will be stuck with a lowly club, fewer supporters, less money coming in and he'll have undone in one season all the good things he'd done previously.

I really don't think JM cares much anymore, his heart isn't in it, in the same way as Coppell knew he was leaving and stayed on for a season longer than he wanted to, JM is having to stay here but doesn't want to. It's all very well being prudent - but there's prudence and there's being a complete tight @rse - and I can't help thinking how different things would have been if, in our second season in the Prem, he'd speculated to accumulate and spent a couple of million or so and we would have stayed up and everything would have looked much rosier financially and footballing wise.

As I've said before, however, Rodgers knew what he was getting in to, he knew he had to "cut the cloth" so there was no cloth left - if he wasn't happy about that he should have said so and not taken the job. With the money he has been allowed, he's wasted it - he is tactically inept and certainly, to my mind, is and was not the man for the job. But who to have attracted instead of him? I have no idea, because any manager worth his salt would not have come into a club that was so willing to strip its assets bare. So you get what you pay for in terms of management and team - and we must now get used to the fact that unless someone comes in for us who has so much money they don't know what to do with it, we're going to be stuck like this for some time.

Speaking of money......when are those finance reports we were promised.

Oh the irony! They cost a princely £1 to download from Companies House (and I never promised them; just said how to download 'em - read the posts carefully). If you think I'm uploading 21 pages of PDFs up here you've got another thing coming mate!

[Royal Lady]

He meant the explanation about the finances that the club said it would give us.

[Bath Hoops]

This is Rodgers team, he has chosen who he wants and you cant blame that on Mr Mad. He has been given cash and hes chosen to spend it on his type of players. If you think spending 2 million on a centre bac kand then putting him on the bench makes sense then I guess you'll blame that on Mr Mad. Its not just about the money you spend but the type of players you get and the system you play, thats all done to Rodgers. So the buck stops there don't blame the chairman for having to watch a this rubbish at the moment, the blame is down to one person and thats the manager. Even Coppell always use to say the same, its my team blame me not the players. At least he was honest enough to admit it.

Ermmm.....

I meant the release of the reports from the club. Which we were promised by Sir John himself.

Winchester - you appear to have changed tack slightly since yesterday - are you no longer quite so vociferous in your support of Mr Rodgers?

[howser]

It might be "Rodgers Team" but he has had to put it together within in hi budget thus we have, some has beens, some never will be's and some, if they are lucky to escape stalag Madejski< promising youngsters all within the criteria of cheap.

You will more than likely see the figures that Mr Ego promised when he is gone, the heading of this thread is so perfectly correct, Madejski is the problem, he has no interest in the club, all his interest revolves around seling off all high earners and collecting transfer fees. Very hypocritical there when he refuses to pay "inflated transfer fees", his words, but scrapes every last penny when selling.

My confidence has been knocked by the shambles of yesterday.

No - the manager was told he had to sell before he could buy. If he didn't want some of those players, he's an even worse Manager than I currently consider him to be.

The manager was unable to stop the likes of Doyle, Hunt and BK leaving. They wanted out, and because of the promises made by the previous management/chairman, they went.

Any team which loses established talent like that, and does not have the resources to fully replace them, will struggle. Regardless of the manager.

[statto]

I don't think it's Madjeski who decides to play without wingers, changes the team every week, decided to buy cummings and decided to send two of our most experienced players out on loan to other clubs in the same division is it?
