I dunno mate, the post you replied to wasn't Mr saying its being delayed due to WP btw, was just saying Regis was in that boat.

I'd be chuffed with Mendy and Ugbo if that happened, or even Vipotnik/Mendy, Vipotnik/Ugbo. Like I said, the feeling is the loan market will be used for a striker, so with that in mind, we'll go out and sign someone hopefully in the next 14 days, such as Ugbo, Mendy, Vipotnik etc, then we'll relax and pursue another from a Prem club, possibly.

I really think the club should take advantage of the opportunity to own a striker like Vipotnik or Ugbo, a 15 goal season in the Championship and their value doubles.
Apologies mate I misread the initial message

some good realistic options there hope we land one soon vipotnik seems the obvious one given the previous interest but the vultures will be circling and he won’t be short of options, interesting few weeks ahead
 
A lot of people jumped on the skullduggery comment I think, took it too literal. We aren't all great at the English language like yourself :emoticon-0105-wink:

I assume you're trying to say 'too literally' <laugh>

Yes a lot of people jumped on it because it's yet another example of the accusations that Speakman is some kind of crook who's working against the club. As it turns out the 'information' this was based on was an absolute nonsense. If people are going to claim club employees are doing something underhand surely they should have more than total guesswork to base it on.

I'm sure we'd all be annoyed at being accused of skullduggery in our work without any justification ...

... it seems some people believe in the old adage, 'Throw enough shyte at the wall and some will stick'.

Can't see us getting Vipotnik, like you say. There'll be loads after him. Clubs will be able to offer him sunny beaches/more money/bigger signing on fee...etc.

I think you've proven my point, the defence of a man against a word. I don't think as many complained when some mad ****er called him Hitler.

Skullduggery, shenanigans, underhand dealings...whatever name you give it it's a load of bullshit when applied to Speakman's approach to getting players in.

Some people have an agenda against the bloke that they're determined to cling to no matter how many times they're proved wrong. Could win the league under his watch and they'd just be biding their time looking for somewhere to stick the knife in.

Yeah it’s such a mad one, just as we thought it was coming to a close a new snag in the Mendy deal (because of mbappe) could cause it to go on for a while leading us to look elsewhere. Really hope we have something sorted within the next two weeks
