Because I don't think Walter would be being as vocal if he knew signings were imminent. And despite all those roadblocks Posh have signed 10 players to our 2.
Where do Posh sign many of their players from. They are seen as a springboard for non league to greater things. If we're in that pool and had their scouts we may be up to 10 now. We aren't.
They pluck some of the best from L2 and NL and give them a chance to play. Having the stability of the owner and having had a decent spell of managers also helps.
I’m astounded that people think Acun shouldn’t be doing this. It’s not just this forum, but I’ve now checked others, as well as talking to other City fans, and there are too many whispers about where his intentions are. Acun is absolutely right to come out and clarify things. He has also clearly seen the need to and fair play to him if it is just to settle us down. I suspect it’s more than that now and I guess we’ll know tomorrow. But this not knowing is causing unrest and as I’ve said before, unrest is the last thing we need ready to kick off a new season, on top of a depleted squad!
Chris Needler held more shares than everyone else put together, plus the mysterious 'non voting shares' or what ever they were called. The person who held those controlled the club, as Don Robinson found out to his dismay.
Norwich also agreed a loan for Doyle weeks ago but its only getting completed this week because he was needed for their pre season tour. I watched a few of their pre season games and they have some outstanding youngsters who could be available. Nico O’Reilly probably pick of the bunch
You're totally right, they not only add quality (hopefully) but they show we're aiming for top young talent. Also shows we're willing to spend when the deal is right. I think the problems this window are due to a few things; honestly missing out on targets for no fault of our own, being specific in players and their value to us, the window being slow in general and internal resource (Tan/Acun debate).
It would be great to get some clarity on what is happening with the club and maybe he softens the mood by unveiling a couple of new signings wearing the new away and 3rd kit
