I'll repeat it...GB/Waggott brought the wrong scouted striker from Plymouth....had we may have been up there in the table.... terrible decisions made in the summer. GB/SW responsible.

This time 12 months ago were you thinking Szmodics and Brittain were a waste of money? Tbf you wouldn't be the only one but both, to different degrees, show it's dangerous to write a player off after 6 months

Long term viewer of this forum.  Made me chuckle reading the summer comments on here of people arguing this time was different and that the Venky’s will allow Broughton to reinvest funds. Ta

For me the statement put out by the club stating we had funds to get to the end of the season, is spitting in my face , when they bloody knew that was based on selling our biggest asset. Loans,

The sticking point is that Rovers are insisting Gally plays against us.

We had no money hence why we signed Ennis early doors on a free. This idea that theyve got 2 players confused is a bizarre conspiracy.

 It is quite possible ! 

The club is infested by people , who in previous times wouldn't even have got an interview ..

Watching the highlights from Plymouths games last year...if our scouts thought Ennis was the better of Ennis/Whittaker last season that's madness....they got it wrong and now JDT wants him out after half a season...I think he's fuming... Surely JDT wanted Whittaker but got Ennis...

More like they were told to look at the other one then decided on Ennis because he was free and Waggots famous flex came into play.

Neither Waggot or GB are fit for purpose if we are being honest.

One was free. One cost a 7 figure fee beyond our means.

It wasnt, we must sign a Plymouth attacker, which one do you fancy. Your theory is utter lunacy.

His current contract is worth more than £1m

Well it isn't in his bank yet and there'll be a whopping amount of deductions so i doubt he's comfortably a millionaire yet unless his family is of course. He's 19 and spent most of his time on apprentice wages but i think the point is if he signs for Palace he is very likely yo have a million quid from a signing on fee after tax dumped into his bank account !

We’ve had to bargain with a league two club over £500k, we have no chance in signing Morgan Whittaker.

Plymouth signed him at the start of the season for £1m, since then he’s scored 15 goals and got 6 assists.

Have some of you started your Friday drinking early?

Isn’t that what Thursdays are for?

Getting into semantics but by any definition he’s currently a millionaire, after tax. Obviously moving to Palace will be attractive financially but I think moving in the summer will be just as attractive and he’s not exactly skint now. All I’m saying is that the financial pressure to move right now is probably overstated.

So you believe the club got confused purely because you saw them both play last season and thought one was better than the other..? There are enough reasons to criticise the club, there’s no need to invent them.

He’s already a millionaire, comfortably.

He's only been round the 1st team less than18 months. To be a millionaire post tax he'd have to earn over 2m and not spend a penny of it which over 18 months is 25k a week which he's most definitely not on.

Yeah he's a sensible lad and the money is there either way although basically doubling or trebling your current contract and cash at hand overnight will turn the most grounded of heads.

Even as a football decision though the temptation will be huge because he'll get a chance straight away at Palace.

Tough decision for him IF the clubs agree a deal.
