****s sake. They need to stop hedging their bets. We have an actual billionaire in charge and we are letting deals slide because we can't get 10k off the wage bill? Pathetic and small time

That's the **** thing. If we go up into the premier league under his stewardship, doing things a sustainable way and promoting local youth, then he will still be on his arse when we have a wobble in the premier.

Nah I am feeling it. The info was good earlier and I really thought it would happen this time. Once again, nope. Same issue under speakman for 3 years. Literally not signed a single, effective striker ever.
Stewart was a Johnson signing as speakman stated btw
Setting aside our drama as it’s our fault for leaving it so late. How **** is this for Fofana? Won’t get a look in at Chelsea.
We signed 3 last summer and that's a bigger problem than what everyone focuses on. Signing strikers isn't a problem, signing quality clearly is. Quality of recruitment is the problem
Got to hope Isidore stays fit otherwise there's ridiculous pressure on Mayenda

What a rollercoaster that was.
Effectively went from “Very happy. Going to be some quality brought in.” to “This club is ****. Speakman out.”
I think it’s horrific that no other senior striker was brought in today to help Mayenda & Isidor (let’s face it - Rusyn isn’t up to scratch). They can spin the “we tried” line as many times as they like. They had plenty of time to sort it out and didn’t.
You can say “we’re top of the league though”. It’s 3 games. 3. We could well be mid table by end of the next month. Way too early to get overly positive.
You can say “we have January coming up”. That’s 4 months away. 4 months of playing a fair amount of games with a lot of pressure on Isidor & Mayenda.
I tell you what’s really frustrating as well. The thing that really annoys me. We are 1 other striker away from it being a very good window in my opinion. Mepham, Samed & the young Serb are very good signings. Very good. But the lack of another striker is just too much of a risk for me to be really happy.
I hope we find ourselves in a strong position come January, I really do.
Onto tomorrow. Haway lads!
Little sly jabs at concerned fans isn't warranted. Speakman will know himself he's failed. We didn't even sign a replacement for Clarke man.
Hopefully Tommy Watson is given plenty of opportunities this season.
Feel for Isidor, the more brainless of our fans will not give the lad a chance. Hopefully he hits the ground running.

I’d assume every fanbase in the country feels there teams short in areas, fully trying to tell myself everything’s okay, feel flat as **** really thought we’d nail it this window but ah well, £18m to try again in Jan I suppose, get these lads announced so we can look forward to tomorrow
The media and even the other clubs have started announcing our signings. Why are the club not?
Not allowed an opinion on here though mate. In the mean time we sell Clarke for 15m and Birmingham sign one of our main targets for 10m a league below us,
Hull sell a much lesser player in Philogene for exactly what we got for Clarke to Villa, but of course we have a plan and nobody is allowed opinions anymore, right or wrong
Rooting for the lad. He’s our Clarke replacement AND our striker. Big shoes to fill.
