Four months of negotiation eh? Sunderland weren't in a position to even start their's until the last few days of the season. It's all very well saying Newcastle are making signings but they've had 6 months start on us.
Yeah I said that yesterday mate, that's what happens when you leave it til the last minute to survive! Swansea fans are in denial by the looks of it, Michu and Bony should be off by the start of the season, Gary Monk's revolution is well underway.
He's a suicidal appointment imo and will be gone by Christmas. Swansea, Villa, West Brom, Hull seem to be fighting for a spot in the relegation battle.
With all the money flying about this league, I can't believe teams still offer players the chance to take over as manager without any previous experience in any league.
WBA made a great signing in Lescott, that's brilliant business but Alan Irvine, who's he? Everton youth coach. All I would say is that if you're going to make appointments like Irvine and Monk, if they fail then the owners deserve everything that happens to their teams. I still don't know why WBA sacked Clarke, he did a brilliant job.
I always expected us to start slowly in the window, we were virtually relegated until the last few weeks. The club are playing catch up in the market but I'm 100% certain good players will come in, 100%.
