Obviously not the same league. But the principal is the same. As highlighted above, you need to spend your money wisely. Given how little so many of our players have contributed this season, it could be argued we havent done that, or at least need to do better. Of course we have been unlucky with injuries, but again, as others have pointed out some of those could have been forseen. Others, not so much. Wimmer needs to be quite ruthless if he wants to get his own players in and give himself the best chance of playing his style of football, if indeed ge still thinks he can do that. I note today there was lots of talk about "compromises". But if he does want to play a high intensity game, he will need youger fitter players to do so.

It's not the deciding factor but it's part of the equation for success, also knowing when to move on etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After his lay off with his most recent injury he looked like he was getting back to full fitness. Cardiff, however, are looking set for the drop. Turnbull officially relegated yesterday. Wonder if he has an escape clause in his contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to wonder how much additional money the club has had to fork out on loan players to cover the crocks and duds who shouldn’t have been signed in the first place. And then consider how shit some on those loanees are. The mismanagement of the squad and budget has been staggering. Heads should roll.

However would insurance not cover at least some of the wage costs of injured players? As for loan players, who pays their wages if they return to their parent club eg Vale & now Kaleta.

I was thinking about this and got me thinking about accountability or lack there of. Who's going to make the 'heads roll' for poor mgt. Previously we had an owner and if we pi55ed their money away with poor signings and bloated squads it was their cash they lost. Versus being in a community model does it hurt as much ? It could be a coincidence that since we've moved to the community model we've in tandem moved to signing +15 players every season. As I say appreciate it could easily be a coincidence but it has got me thinking about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very good point but I think that our no claims bonus us is well and truly shot. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've wondered about this as well. I remember reading something ages ago that the insurance policy to cover this eventuality was administered by the SPL/SPFL and covered every club for a set premium each year. Not sure if that's still the case (probably not) as I would imagine if one club makes multiple claims the other clubs with less claims could in theory end up picking up the tab. If its the case that each club have their own individual policy then our premiums will be astronomical at the next renewal date. Or such a thing might not even exist. Maybe a question for the Well Society? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a risk of injury, a dead cert for an injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
