The point is Tisdale effectively hascreated his own fecking embargo!Genuine question but do you think he'd have retained the same players if the embargo hadn't been in place? Having spent a fair bit of time in Embargoesville over the past few season we often seemed destined to keep hold of the dross whose registration we already owned whilst missing out on many promising trialists and other targets because we couldn't guarantee that we'd be able to sign them before windows closed - of course said players took the 'bird in hand' option when it was there.
Don't get me wrong - I've read plenty to suggest that Tisdale's made mistakes and has alienated a large proportion of your fanbase. However, if there are plenty of managers in this division doing their jobs with one hand tied behind their back it does seem that Tisdale has only been granted the use of a single digit this Summer.
Please don't tell anyone I've been sticking up a bit for a former s****ampton player - I'll never live it down... ;-)
Because of three seasons of mainly tedious, lacklustre home performances, we have lost an (estimated) 400 ST holders.
400 x £400 = £160k.
The sums don't lie!,
