I think he/we will sign players because for all you say the allams are, they are business men who can and do make money, take all your personal feelings (which BTW are funny and a little ott) and look at it from a business POV for the allams to make the most money, we need to be in the Prem,

It's still very early in the window and yes it would have been great to have the team and squad sorted and settle, but let's be realistic for a second, no team has all their business done and players will continue to move and become available as the window goes on, I'd rather we get the correct quality players in rather then any player quick.

Your correct I don't have a white stick, nor am I stupid, I just don't get hysterical like you did and slag people off I have no personal knowledge of or someone who hasn't done anything to me personally, I don't agree with a number of things they have done and I want then to sell up and leave, but I won't and don't let them bother me and will continue to look at things from an unbiased and non blinkered point of view :)

Interesting... which players will 'become' available that aren't available now? If anything, the longer we leave it, the less there will be available as they'll have already moved clubs.
 
What difference does it make when we get them it makes a huge difference because of the numbers required.
Again we don't need 1/2 players who simply slot in.
Also perceptions outside of the club does matter when trying to attract players.
Do you not see the similarities to last season.
I realise you believe a passionless none emotive stance gives you some high ground but doesn't it makes you look naive.

Gives me some high ground??? Over who and what? I really don't get that one....
 
Davies and Tom had buy out clauses so can't stop that. Maguire and Robertson where always going to go Tymon could have been handled better then it has. I would still be surprised if we don't lose two more out of clucas, Elmo and grosicki which again was expected after relegation.. it's not the players leaving it's the fact we haven't brought people in quick to plug the holes in the squad.

Seriously....do I have to explain that one?

teams will only let certain players leave once they have done their own business, it's the same every window, players who wernt available become available later in the window, top end Prem teams will let players go out on loan to champ level once a Prem move is 100% not happening, again as I keep saying I'd love us to have done more business at this stage, but the window is still wide open and a lot of business is yet to be done
 
They're just doing what they said they would do; acting in their own interests after the name change failed.

Obviously the experience of last year has shown them that their asking price wasn't going to be met so they are finding a different way to raise the money that they want/need.

£10m income from fans is more relevant than last season but still not a lot compared to £47m in parachute payment.

The one issue is that a fire sale doesn't bring the full value of the assets (player valued at £10m and sold for £8m) and so the club would be worth less than it was before (although liquidity would improve).


After the sale fell through, they never had any intention of selling the club. In fact I'm sure they probably knew that "that sale" was going to go tits up too.

The Allams are incredible spiteful and what is happening is of no surprise to anyone.
The problem is what they don't realise is apathy is rife through the fan base nobody really cares.
The only people they hurt are the kids they price out and treat like ****.
I will go this season but to away games only.
I expected (Davies, Tymon) apart for us to lose the players we are have but naively expected a lot of signings.
I was concerned about the new manager at the beginning as he brought no backroom staff no assistant with him it felt like a farce from the start.
We won't get relegated but will finish in the bottom 6.
Of course people care. Thats why there is so much frustration on here. And afraid I will still be going. Been doing so for 50 years and Ehab aint going to beat me
 
People saying that the Allams are savvy business people that know the path to financial redemption lies in returning to the Premier League. You need to answer one question - if that's the case, why did they criminally under invest last season and allow the club to tumble out of the Premier League? Let's not forget Silva performed miracles to even get close to survival in May.

Or, with each passing day each agent knows we are becoming more desperate and increases the demands or transfer fee..

As I do too.
I wasn't born 50 years ago so you beat me on that one.
But the 20/30 people who post on here probably lean towards the more fanatical side of the fan base.
But as we all I'm know a lot of people have had enough.

Different people have differing levels as to what they consider personally affects them.

I consider trying to change the club's name for nothing more than a childish & petulant disagreement as affecting me personally.

I consider being continually lied to & misled as affecting me personally.

I consider being referred to as a hooligan as personal.

I consider throwing disabled, children's & sports clubs out of their facilities under the name of the club I support to affect me personally.

I consider pricing out different groups of supporters such as disabled, children & oldies as personal.

I could go on but I'm sure you get the gist, you're not stupid after all.

It's about principles & values. Mine are different to yours.

Yes yours are different to mine, yet I still don't resort to personal insults where as you do.... Just shows the intelligence level of who I'm talking to ;)
