Tbf recruitment has been mixed. An £8million profit on a player in just one season is pretty damn amazing. I do question (understatement) the strategy though and hope it changes from this summer forward as I think it's been pretty shambolic.
I would be surprised if we don’t see three signings next week. No inside knowledge just an old fashioned hunch.
"That summer under Acun two seasons ago is what killed us, he pissed money away and went out and bought whoever he wanted, when he wanted. Now we can't spend. Poorly run club." Walter in charge for only 2 weeks as of today... "We've still not signed anyone yet even though we've got money, we're going to get relegated and wouldn't compete in League 1. There's nothing going on behind the scenes and if we do sign anyone they'll be ****/too old/don't know the league/on loan/no resale value/an 'Acun signing'. Poorly run club. Also, something about 'brain team' being ****. Get Darnbrough back." And then simultaneously... "Doesn't matter that we played good football yesterday, it's preseason, it means nothing." Whilst... "We need players in immediately otherwise they'll miss preseason." There's obviously work to be done as of right now, but it'll get done. We've also gained a couple of players that had been previously cast out which may prove to flourish under Walter. Every little helps and all that. I still don't see any need to be worried about the coming season yet.
The recruitment of loan players last season was excellent, credit to Rosenior, I doubt we'll get as good loans again under an unknown Manager so our buys have to be very good?
Walter wouldn't be here if he thought fir one minute it was going to be a **** show - calm down folks- enjoy the ride
I remain positive about next season. Mainly because Rosie won't be here. It doesn't matter if we attracted the best loan players out there, playing under him would serve up the same ****e we had to endure last season. And I remain sceptical about how many of the loan players from last year came here because of Rosenior and his style.
Had a very brief chat with someone at the club. ‘We’re going for really good players, but as usual everything’s last minute and getting good players takes time.’ Got no names or any hints at all but thought I would share it. They are definitely learning lessons and not giving names away as much as they used to.
No I think it meant that they aren’t very fast at acting on stuff. That’s just how I interpreted it though.
I've no idea who you spoke to or how close to you are but it just sounds like what you'd expect someone at the club to say. I'd be surprised if they said we're after a right bag of **** get ready for a relegation fight
Does anyone know when the decision to axe LR was actually taken? And then when was the decision to appoint Tim? There was a lot of time from March-ish onwards when it was highly likely we would still be in this division next year. That's your planning and figuring stuff out time.
When some are drinking tonight watching the Match, please remember to fill the other half of your glass . Nobody has a clue what is or isn’t isn’t going on , so negative comments are as much a guess as most positive ones . Unfortunately this year the ITK’ers are quiet , to be honest I’m missing their insights . LOL
