Ye glad weve been bought ect but seems everything else that could go wrong, is!

 

[leeblue]

On the pitch affairs still a bit $#!t, extremely fussy transfer policy seemingly looking to sign perfect people on perfect money because we dare not take a slight risk on players....injuries, scandals, buy out clauses.
We won't fill the bench on Saturday....Still poor.
Frustrated to say the least.

Corrected that for you.

I'm pretty sure the release clause was mentioned on here around the time when Cardwell signed his new contract. Something in the region of £120k was my recollection.

Well, hope he rejects them then

Money bags, not a prayer.

They'll offer him an extra grand a week, he'll say to the club if you.match it I'll stay the club will not match it, he Will leave.

 

[JB Shrimper]

Oh well, if he leaves I wish him well, thanks to him for sticking with us through the mire, and pin our hopes on the next guy

Lot of money. I don’t begrudge him at all, he can’t turn that down. Would go with our appreciation. Be a sad day, he is a great striker, a real throwback but that’s a lot of money to turn down.

I don't begrudge it at all. What I'm a tad miffed with is our snails pace transfer policy....compounded by injuries and scandal

How could he refuse. I get the loyalty card etc but if someone offers me another £1.5-2 k a week I wouldn’t hesitate. It’s a short career and at 27 he has to look after number 1. It’s football unfortunately. But this would cause us a huge headache. More worryingly Chris Phillips doesn’t tweet stuff unless the story has legs. Feel it’s time for the club/Cosu to make a statement giving us some sort of update of where we are at. Some improvements to the stadium fine, but on the pitch we need what 4-5 players and don’t seem to be making any progress

Agreed, it seems like we get the same comments from Maher every week and nothing really happens in terms of signings

 

[WillMay333]

Think this is going to be the real test of the management team, last season was no expectation, but this is totally different. Got faith in them of course and its a f***ing big stress, but they need to shape up

Possibly due to the fact we lost half the summer to an embargo while everyone else snapped up our top targets.

The EFL deadline is tomorrow and that will possibly free up some players to become available.

I do think as a fan base our expectations are way too high for this season. It was never going to be easy.

Yeah, it is immensely frustrating. I think we all wanted/needed fast action given the lows we’ve been through to keep the feel good vibe going. I feel like they’ve messed up slightly, like when we lost Corr after going up, he was our talisman and it set the tone. This slow pace has set the tone and set the fanbase on edge, whether unjustly or not, we are hugely damaged as fans. The injuries are unfortunate and if happened last year we’d have been sunk. We’ve been through too much but I’m trying to keep perspective, we will get it right in the end this season, no doubt, I trust the football management team but it won’t be easy or fast.

Fair comment but just frustrating
