I don't think he said two having medicals today did he? From what I heard it was just "Two coming; one almost coming...". Even if they are having medicals today, I just find it hard to believe we're going to sign several players in the next three days without their identities being already known. It always takes us a good few days, often a week or even much longer to finalise and complete transfers after the point at which they're known to be close. If we don't know who they are, then I struggle to believe they're that close. I can see Burns being done given that his medical was reported as being today and a deal done. But even then I wouldn't be surprised if it dragged on as they so often do.
The stated plan a few weeks ago was that we would do most of our business towards the end of the window. Given that’s evidently unchanged, maybe he didn’t feel it necessary to repeat the message.
That would be my only criticism of the event too. No one really dared to say the current situation wasn’t good enough, despite the reasons given. I guess the actions just need to follow the words now and we’ll see by the end of the season whether this approach has paid off. I still believe we will have success and challenge for top 6 and I am also relieved he is not on his way!
So we spunked a lot in January which was speculated on here and can’t spend till we sold greaves philo and Tufan Acun says we’re waiting till the end of the window This has put us in a much weaker bargaining position We could definitely have got more for them And he alluded to the fact we can’t spend what we got cos of ffp Let’s hope these new players coming in are going to hit the ground running This is putting a lot of pressure on Tim We play a high risk game now If heads go down with defeats he won’t be here long as players lose belief quickly Fingers crossed it’s all going to come good but for me the warning signs are all there no matter how’s smooth and reassuring acun is
I was a little apprehensive going into it this morning. With the rumours of him wanting to sell and with the last Q&A being an absolute car crash. But very pleasantly surprised at how positive it was. Calmed some nerves and to give a definitive answer "0% chance of selling the club". Brilliant. My one annoyance is the question about Hughes - talking the finances of what is probably a hugely complex deal. Acun being the excitable big kid he is, has now confirmed our interest. I get that it's probably already well known, but I don't like when we mention specific players before they've signed. We've seen in backfire too many times! Otherwise, he played it excellently.
If Narwych have such a healthy commercial side, I reckon Delia must be selling her tarts behind the bike sheds.
found today v reassuring from an ownership perspective, just need those incomings to hit and we can all chill out a bit more
Parachute payments is the big one with them, they've got a few players, Rowe, sara and sergeant who are all potential 15-20m players, would be surprised if more than 2 of them are still there come end of august
