Best squad we've ever had that unfortunately becomes useless once we inevitably lose one or two players, which was the known case for 9 months before it becomes a crippling issue. Parish tweeted we had a better squad than Burnley when he arrogantly tweeted that Benteke may not get injured and the sun may not come up after another loss when our season hadn't got started and arguably still hasn't. But look at them and others with these inferior squads. It's a squad game and for that reason you can argue it isn't our best ever squad but best team when all 11-14 are fit, which never happens. Hopefully he does the business with the main stand which I think he will, and freedman presents long term and not stop gap solutions that Roy values too.

I would say that the majority of teams in the prem have the best squad they have ever had. It's progress there is so much money in football now days that buying a moderate amount of success is part of the game, As for Sakho & Benteke being worth £60m I know that's what we actually paid, But I would not think anyone at present would touch Benteke at £30M. Anyway the league does not lie we are bottom of the league and no denying that. Can I ask if it's our best squad ever and we are bottom of the league and fighting relegation with the likes of Townsen, Cabaye, Zaha, Benteke, Sakho in our team after 5 years under so many different Manager's, Why are we in this position year after year?

I'm befuddled as to why you have drawn such a conclusion. At the end of the day I'm not infused with any self-importance - I am just a humble supporter of many years.

Because among a few other things, in some areas there's been zero backup, obviously.

Parish lost it a long time ago, And is possibly taking us down with his mismanagement and lack of strengthening the squad in positions where he should of done over the past 4/5 years, We are no further forward with building a team fit for a mid table side than we were 3 years ago. As for the proposed new stand lets not hold ou breath on things before the council grant detailed planning permission. Edited by Medway Eagle (09 Dec 2017 8.08pm)

We would actually have had that squad (not side) last season and this season if things were done correctly for a football club and not a cost cutting exercise, that inevitably costs more each time and with stop gaps that are very soon not up to standard once the immediate goals have been achieved.

Can I just categorically deny that the incident had anything to do with me. I was mud wrestling with a Crystal at the time or I might have just been asleep at home.

FFP No. Tge summer with no left back and no def mid and light at CB we spent the money later in January, when we should've in July. Yes July, so they can prepare, not 31st August. Repeat the same this season. Nothing to do with FFP. I don't want to keep replying to these posts or I'll be accused of excessively bringing it up myself.
