    About time Mr Burt departed, the Summer signings was a total shambles except for Kodgia.

    Cant comment on that I heard one signing failed "due diligence" The truth is that this is a SL inspired decision and he alone will know the reasons

    This line /comment/remark is typical of when the reasons, are "dodgy" in other words "there was a problem regarding these 2 members of staff, which we will need to keep quiet, as we do not wish to fall into a trap regarding any possible on going actions that may arise" ... .. .
    so that is 3 members of the "team" responsible regarding team .. players .. transfers etc pre PNE !
    WHO IS NEXT?

    Well the 2 transfer windows were there for all to see - we signed 3 permanent players - Kodjia (very one footed and raw), O'Donnell (Wigan's 3rd choice keeper) and Golbourne (A Bristol City fan)

    Now I do admit that all 3 are good players - but it was a shambles

    The fact that you can't have emergency loans next season makes the Summer window crucial - it would be nice to get Tomlin, Odemwingie and Matthews all signed on permanent deals in June

    'it would be nice to get Tomlin, Odemwingie and Matthews all signed on permanent deals in June'

    And even better if we signed Baker.

    I cant see any of these staying on permanent deals mainly for age and availability reasons

    Nice to get them, but I would want to go all out to secure Tomlin a deal
