No one has lied . No one ITK stated when the embargo was gonna be lifted but that we are doing all we can to get it lifted and that there’s players ready to sign when it does

It would have to in a poll and i do not think thats possible. all posts are timed.

Read back lots of people all excited said was done Tuesday. Others doing the eyes emoji. I think we’ve all had enough now tbh people getting our hopes up repeatedly false dawns.

See on the takeover thread a lot of chat about an announcement tomorrow regarding the lifting of the embargo and takeover possibly next week. If true and the embargo is lifted then hopefully we can get a couple in, but as you say so many false dawns its hard to get too excited anymore

That's funny, I don't recall anybody saying it was done on Tuesday. Not anybody worth listening to, anyway.

Sorry to keep on but it’s an easy piece of adjustment in the computor language of the poll page to allow this.

If the embargo had been lifted, or there were players coming in for the weekend, why on earth would the club announce it on a Thursday, when one of our biggest advantages going into every game is that the opposition will underestimate us due to our struggles.

Considering about half the clubs have reps on the NL board I'd imagine that embargoes and player registrations are hardly a secret in the footballing world.

Nothing is secret in the NL because of Shrimperzone....fact.

Even I said it's coming but could be 24 hours but not 100%.

Not only are we talking about paying multiple debts, but various companies who are winding down for Christmas via various bank accounts.

Add in the national League and their lack of empathy and help and you have a recipe for delay.

I'm sure that those behind the scenes are literally doing everything they can to give Kev and the boys a boost in numbers.

It's funny because you'd feel that the NL would want to get past these issues with the club, but they've clearly shown to us already they don't care all that much at all for it.

 

[stewart]

i gave up worrying or getting excited quite a way back, now just sit back and wait for JR or TL to say the takeover is complete and the Embargo lifted ,only then will i get excited for the future of SUFC.

 

[bluethroughandthrough]

Is anyone on here looking at the other clubs fanzones? I'm assuming if there are people looking at who we are keen on - are we doing the same to other teams? Maybe that's where John still finds these players!
