I like your style, though I fear not many will come on board - look at the training ground debacle I still cant believe folk are not making their voices heard and demanding answers.

Well we don't know what he was told. but i'd hazard a guess that Trev said our wage limit is circa 20k for right player and there's a few million in the transfer pot. Doubt he said go and bid for a 10 million pound player.

You may be right but it would surprise me if he was willing to go so high.

Exactly. Blackpool fans not being on the case with Oyston set their club back years as they ended up crashing into League Two. Had they called out the Oystons when they made their shambolic signings in the Premier League they could be back there now, as tough as it is to take.

The moment Stewart Donald screwed up a city-changing investment deal with Michael Dell, their fans absolutely lost their minds and turned on him. This was only a few weeks ago. The other day he put the club up for sale. Sunderland will likely get a sensible owner, maybe even Michael Dell again, and be able to build for the future, thanks to fan power.

The tough truth is that if Hemmings doesn't invest this winter, it proves he has no interest in this club and the obvious domino effect it will cause needs to be stopped before it causes us to go down. If we don't get the players in this window, we have no choice as fans but to fight back against Hemmings.

Bet they are already are looking and TBH can't blame them Preston won't make the premier league. The only way the likes of pearson and davies will play in premier league is to leave preston sad but true .and I don't give a tosser no one likes it

If as it seems most people are now coming around to reality in respect of lack of quality player investment by Hemmings, and if as many people seem to be suggesting that along with numerous of our better players that AN will also fly the nest, don't be too surprised to see Hemmings once again attempting to appease the supporters by installing Gally as manager, I would hope not personally as he needs to do a proper apprenticeship but its what Hemmings does as can be seen by the introduction of Nugent. It's all about NOT spending money. Transfer windows are not good for the likes of us. Please don't tell me he almost broke the club record last window, cus it could have been a tea lady called Brenda for all we know.

Why don’t we hire some lads from Larches and kidnap Trevor’s son, Craig. Parents usually will do anything to get their kids back and I suspect Trevor would feel the same. We demand Trevor signs a top striker, wide player and dynamic central midfielder by the end of January. Trevor obliges, then we release Craig, we get promoted and everyone is happy.

I understand the negativity (because of the last two games) but if this squad of players has done so (relatively) well up to now, what's suddenly changed so much ? Are we now a complete bag of sh*te ?

I hear you, but the last 2 games were shite, and some of our very good players didn’t turn up. We have had a dire December. IMHO our good players have not turned into shite overnight. At the beginning of the season they all played way above expectations, they were marvellous. So what has changed? We discussed last August what had happened to the Hugill, Robbo and Cunningham’s money. My fear is that the players can sense the lack of ambition in the club with money not being reinvested. what is the mood of the dressing room and how has this affected the players motivation?

The fans need to take to the stands, If the bulk of the fan base went on once or twice a season, The transfer kitty and money for wages will improve

Wouldn’t blame any players or manager to leave Preston. North end

If results don’t improve, I can see a very toxic 2nd half of the season between the club and fans. Players probably see this and will want out.

the past two home games have been toxic, personally think Preston fans have been embarrassing. Kicking off when we’re trying to build up play, then kicking off when going direct and losing it. Booing at the end of every half. We’re only 2 points off the play offs!
 
I always try my best to get behind the team and get the crowd going. I sit in the middle of the Alan Kelly and I can sense the lack of belief around me. Fans go on because Preston is their team but they don't feel that the team has a realistic chance of the play-offs and especially not promotion, you can sense it.
I've been going on since 78/79 and haven't chosen to miss a home fixture in 25 years (even during Westley). I will not be there tomorrow. Make of that what you will.

He isn’t serious about premier league. He would have a heart attack just thinking about transfer fees and wages needed if we got promoted. PL ambition was a lie along with the training ground.

Where we are now and how we operate is exactly how TH wants it. It is his business model and he has it working very well.

I think TH's business model only works well if he is able to sell one of two player's per year for around £7m-£10m in total. If he doesn't then we run at a big loss each year & the debt spiral's.
