The biscuit deal was £1.5m a year so great money for a club sponsorship (double what Corendon pay) but not ground breaking when it comes to transfers.
I’m sure it was said that safiport (I think) paid the same as mcvities, also it was mcvities that ended the deal as they didn’t feel they actually needed to spend that money on sponsorship as there was no gain for them

Because Acun was distracted by the PL in January and pushed the boat out - even though promotion was always a slim chance.

We really should have used that window to prioritise new younger talent with half a season to bed them in or loans with an option to buy if they worked out.

Instead we got in talent which would never have been allowed to stay and the one loan we did get that might have been allowed an option (Ohio) we didn’t. Last January was a right mess and foolish.

Yep, not even with hindsight. Remember saying exactly this at the time and everyone being all “oh they’re only loans, it’s cheap, nothing to lose”
 
He hinted it was a loan. Taylor is the only left back we've been linked to but can't see Celtic letting him go on loan when he's a free agent at the end of the season. Maybe someone not getting a game at the bottom end of the prem. Luke Thomas or Conor Townsend perhaps?

Tyrell Malacia? <laugh>
 
Those 3 need proper competition. They’re all having to play 80+ mins a game at the minute sometimes 3 a week with no back ips

very good point

and it seems quite clear to me at least
in the summer, i could see simons, palmer, mehlem and omur gone
we are getting some good young players in with high potential, along side some vastly experienced steel to see us through

how can you complain at that

Lets just all keep everything crossed that we get through. Because if we do, the summer window will surely be less shoot from the hip. We will see a huge amount of outgoings, non renewed contracts perhaps and 'selected' signings. If we do, the nucleus of this season at last stays together and gives a great platform.

It was always going to be difficult this season because of the amount of loans we had ect. It was basically a complete full rebuild, Did we make some good signings, definitely, I think Pedro, Belloumi,Puerta, millar, Alzate, Hughes’s , I’ve not seen enough of Burns and Rushworth, I think in the wide areas we have had big problems and once you get a few injuries then as a squad we are not good enough. Hopefully we have enough to stay up and build on what we have in the summer. It would be good to have a manager who stays in the job for a lot longer than the previous ones and thats the reason why we have a lot of changes. Every manager will have his own opinions a bit like everyone on here, Looking at new signings at the moment then forget if we have decent players in certain positions because you need rotation, good strength in-depth and let’s not forget even good players lose form sometimes. Also competition stops you giving 90% instead of 100%. We have also made some poor transfers so our team consists of a mixture of decent, average and poor and when you get injuries to your better players then the team obviously struggles because your strength in depth isn’t good enough. Hopefully some of these new players will be a big help but in truth I’ve not really watched them, I don’t even know much about them in fact some I’ve never heard of, I never watch foreign football, Lower league football ect so I’ve got to admit I’m clueless on who we or are bringing in. I will judge for myself when I watch them.
