Joelinton7 Posted July 18, 2025 Share Posted July 18, 2025 After Eddie’s comments the other day it’s become quite clear that we’ve not got the staff to cover all of the work that needed doing this summer. We’re absolutely glacial. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting rid of Mitchell seemed to suggest we would all be on the same page and that this window would be done well. Now we’re struggling cause we don’t have someone in Mitchell’s role. Took 2 years to find a set piece coach that would be the right ‘fit’. 2 years. Thank fuck our team does the business on the pitch because the club is seemingly ran so poorly behind the scenes. the problem is fairly obvious we’ve a set amount of money and a set amount of targets. We clearly don’t have the capacity to go above a certain fee or that’ll impact business in other areas and we can’t sell other than Longstaff. The market is out of control Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miggys First Goal Posted July 18, 2025 Share Posted July 18, 2025 Maybe we'll just sack the rest of the window off, try and get a transfer team in place, and go again in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted July 18, 2025 Share Posted July 18, 2025 We’re half way through window and we’ve still not sorted out CEO which we knew was needed since last year, or a DoF which we’ve known for a while too. Imagine if Howe left, we’d be waiting till Feb to appoint a manager, with Graeme Jones interim till then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted July 18, 2025 Share Posted July 18, 2025 I said a month back that if we hadn't signed 2 by the second week in July, id start getting worried. I'd consider us behind schedule now. It's possible to sign 4 players in a day, but its just not the way we like to work. They need 2 signings on the bounce in the next fortnight, to give them a chance going into the last couple of weeks. I just hope we actually spend the money we have. I hope we dont just do the "the deals weren't right" bullshit because ultimately the squad needs players. I'd rather we pivoted away from a plan to sign a specific type of player, if it meant bringing some quality in the door in another area. For example, we bid 69m for Ekitike, there's really no excuse why should end this window without a couple more additions. Even if we dont get the player we want, in the position we want, the squad needs fresh faces and at the very least we have to show our current players that we still mean business.

STM Posted July 18, 2025 Share Posted July 18, 2025 Anderson was a bitter pill to swallow but by pushing the PSR boundary, we signed some absolute elite talent, which ultimately is why we ended our trophy drought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
