Ever since, dare I say it even as someone who wasn't a fan, Rosenior got done over

It was the start. The club have decided to revamp everything in one go and its a massive risk. By their own design they had a bloated squad that needed culling and I suppose job done in the department. The powers that be wanted a change at management and did that. Doing either one of these in an off season is risky. Doing both is beyond silly.

Acun wont rock up to the Bristol game and I bet Tim wont be here for long at this rate
 
These things sometimes happen, but as other have said, having 2 now pinched from under our nose doesn't look good. It's happen in the past, Campbell and Ayala from Liverpool I remember was agreed and then he went elsewhere. As OLM says, there needs to get a couple of deals done and dusted quickly to avoid a total melt down of the fan base and bring back some credibility.

It is starting to look that Liam's influence in getting players onboard was more important than most realised.
 
Sadly Barry has confirmed the bad news regarding the lad from West Brom. Can Jonny Ayre still put a pair of boots on for us.
 
It's not just about agreeing a deal with the player though is it? Other clubs will only sanction the deal if they are sure no one else will come in with a better late bid to gazump the potential buyers -which seems to have happened to us twice already. I'll believe it when the player has signed on the dotted line not before. This season is threatening to become a farce IMHO - although others seem to think things will be perfect come the end of August

Firstly, yes of course the club is a bit of a state at the minute when it comes to planning/PR.

But, if we get gazumped it’s two choices - either:

Wanting us to pay more to stand a chance of making the signing

Or

Leaving it.

In the case of Keiffer Moore and Assante, personally, I’m glad we left it.

Perhaps, with other players, I’ll have a different feeling.

It's just another embarrassing situation as he was at the game last night.
It's DJ Campbell like..."I'm just nipping out for a bite to eat..."
Never to be seen in this parish ever again...

Solution just thrust a contract at em and make them an offer they can't refuse!

People criticised the board for overspending the last few summers and leaving us in the current state but also want us to overspend on singular players when we have a full squad to build with limited resources…right.

Do we need players? Absolutely. But by upping to what Coventry bid we run the risk of not being able to sign a higher quality squad player down the line. WBA ITK has already said they’ve offered a better financial package for them.

Providing the board lower expectations I’m not fussed on missing out on players that we refuse to overpay for.
 
I think it’s interesting that Seri nearly didn’t come but Arun persuaded him by selling him the dream. In the words of Lindisfarne, “Hey Mr Dreamseller, where have you been?” Though I don’t think the answer in Meet Me On The Corner was to Fenerbahce.
Did Acun convince him by selling it to him, or did he do it by offering him more money.

'Current State','Limited Resources'?

Talk me through it,I'm all ears...

Pick me, pick me, I know this one. Its answer B, MONEY!!!!!

I don't know what's happened, but not getting dragged into bidding wars over wages is good. We move on. And as you say, just hinders us later on with other squad members.
