Theregulars

If that's true then yeh, it's a massive discredit to the manager.

Not sure I agree. If what he's good at is unearthing talent for purchase, did he not come to the role with an active contacts book and suggested talent that he / his people had scouted? I would have thought that was part of the driving force in him getting the role; maybe it was in fact his willingness to deal with the fallout of not buying anyone. Either which way, he's a day and a half away from failing his first big test.

Total and utter silence. He has a day and half to do something, else he's not going to be popular for at least 6 months. Makes little sense to me why he'd take the appointment if unable / not allowed to do what he's supposedly good at (of which I've seen no evidence). Similar foreboding about him now as I have with Eales.

Absolutely

You'd really hate to think that we were never planning to spend much all along, but something somewhere doesn't add up. Monumental risk taking by the club to proceed standing pat.

No, it must have eluded me there. Could you explain it again?

Is it a different day for other clubs then?

Why stop there? Kill the bastard

Harlem Globetrotters away

Palace progressing 2 signings today might suggest it’s happening, but pure wishful conjecture.

Maybe we don’t want to start any contracts until sept 1 to save money, he clutched at the straw

The most abysmal please help us klaxon

Proven commodity in the league we play in; already fluent in English to understands our complex playbook; perhaps they think he's a better player.

Ah, some more assumptions belched out as facts. Glorious

Mitchell’s and Eddie’s sleeves are way too far down the forearm. Worrying

Cracking post

Apart from a range of journalists with connections to both clubs saying they expect it to happen. We will never know the truth about transfers.

Do you know whether he has or not? Do you have any way of knowing with any degree of accuracy?

You guys sure seem to know Marc well as a person

Yes. Recommend buying shares in regional pitchfork producers.

True dat

To league 2, I’d imagine.

Almost certainly beyond doubt a plant from Masters.

Clubs in the PL typically do more business in the summer. On balance we have done post-takeover. Because the squad was not at the desired level to guarantee PL status. Neither point changes the fundamental and original issue that you’re completely wrong to say we don’t usually spend in January. Where should I send my invoice?

The first point is comical - you’re trying to argue that we didn’t spend because we spent out of a strong need to do so. The purpose isn’t relevant - your argument was that we don’t spend often in January. Your argument has a fatal problem on interaction with facts. As to your second question, I would imagine it probably stands up quite favourably in comparison to the rest of the league. As does all our spending post-takeover
