Seem to be going for it.
A couple of non league “gems” and Mark Beevers already signed, along with a very highly rated keeper from Exeter and a highly rated defender from Newport.
Now they have signed Mo Eisa from Bristol City for a seven figure fee.
We’ve seen/heard it all before with Peterborough I know...but they appear to be having a go again.
-
Beevers playing right wing, keeper left side of three at back, Eisa in goal. Nothing wrong with 12th place. Seen it all before pal!
-
Bristol City did well to get that much for a Championship flop. That doesn't mean he won't do well, they've got a decent team and when you splash the money the majority of the times you flip a coin it'll bring success.
-
What's this, a Ferguson-led Posh chucking money about? genius, that man.
-
One more heave! Just another million quid and we can make top half! Beevers - left wing today for you lad and no arguing else it is off at half-time and away to the gulag with Etheridge.
-
One good season in League 2, then a grand total of 5 appearances in the Championship with zero goals. I am very glad we didn't have the budget Fergie wanted if he is blowing a million quid up the wall for a player with that record. Ridiculous.

It is a lot of money for a player not proven above league 2 level but think he missed most of last season injured
-
I'm sure he'll be needing to do more business in January.
-
It’s ok though. He’ll get a reaction next game... All very well splashing the cash. Moulding then into a winning team is entirely different.
-
Honestly, i'm not even worried about Peterborough, they're going for boke, how often does that work out? Coupled with a shite manager is a receipe for disaster.
-
Are people forgetting Ferguson has won promotion from this league on more than one ocassion? I wouldn't write them off.
-
Fergie isn’t the free spirit now that he was at the outset of his management career - he stifles creativity & tries to manage via intimidation - a recipe for flop rather than promotion
-
Certainly showed with us he's capable of getting teams out of the division.
-
Does the lad know he has been signed to play left back.
-
I’ll give it to October until their gobby chairman is having a meltdown on Twitter, slagging the players off.
That long?
-
Well I’m going to put my neck on the line, I think they will be a big threat this season.

It'd be daft not to think that.
-
P45 for DF by 30th Nov.
They are a disaster waiting to happen.
-
Every year they spend big,
Evans spent last summer let’s not forget.
We only just pipped them last season, they’ve done their business early though so let’s see what we do.
Should be some money available now All the out of contract players have left and also the loan wages now available.
-
100% trust in McCann & Cliff to deliver players to take us on
-

Horrible nasty piece of work and I don't care what he or anyone else says, he has far too greater influence on, on pitch affairs and player selection. The fact that he openly posts every day on twitter is just plain wrong, he is a Chairman/owner of a EFL side and should be seen and not heard from. Don't even get me started about the online broadcasts he does, its all about him lol.

He can do what he likes, their fans seem to like him.

Ferguson will be doing the same in the local media long before this.

Of course he can do as he likes but its interesting how 99.99% of English football club chairman choose to stay in the background though isn't it. I can assure you not all PUFC fans like the fact that he is so public though and having had a little to do with the man I stand by my opinion just as I am sure you will.
-
To be fair to Ferguson he has an eye for a good player, wether he can get the best out of them remains to be seen.

We’ve got McCann

It’s difficult when you can see what a head case their Chairman is.
To appoint a manager twice and sack him twice and then appoint him a third time. Basket case.
A club being built on sustainability. Just watch them disintegrate when the two Americans who have invested in the club get fed up and go home.
We seriously don’t know how lucky we are to have our owners.

Two Canadians not Americans
-
They'll be top in November, 7th in May
-
The tactical genius that is Fergie will still f**k it up, I feel sorry for the left back they've signed because hes a very good left back but the poor kid will be playing centre half by November. I think they will lose a couple of players before start of the season like Toney.
-

Top 2 end of Sept and 7th end of Nov and then sacked.
Any way i am very confident we will finish above them again and this time the margin will be considerably greater.

I think one of the occasions he left to go to Preston didn’t he?

McAnthony sacked him twice.
-
He’s certainly always done a very good job for them.
Grant is doing a very good job for us, but we do need a good summer of recruitment to progress from last year.
I know it’s only early and there’s plenty of time yet but we do need 5 or 6 new players whether that be loans or permanents

Not atall, that was a while back now and I am talking about todays game, the here and now. Chairman are rarely if ever heard from nowadays, the current chairman and board have it spot on doing their job behind the scenes and leaving it to the manager and players to get on with things on the pitch.

Possibly could do it if they get rid of Ferguson early enough.

I'm not going to lie, I would absolutely love to see that happen.
-
I'd be worried about Peterborough if it was anyone other than Fergie managing them.
-
He’s got them into the championship twice before.
Going to be a tough league next year with Pompey, Sunderland still here and Ipswich, Rotherham joining us.
Sides like oxford and Coventry will push on next year and also mk dons Lincoln will go well
Think it will be a much stronger division next year
-
People seem to forget he did build a promotion winning team with us.

What is it about Oxford that people seem to always say they're going to do well?
I mean, they may well do but I'm sure people have said this for the last few years, both on here and elsewhere, and they always just finish mid table.
Have I missed something this summer?
-
Second half of last season they were as good as anyone in the division
On paper they have a very good squad for this Level and have already started recruiting well
-
Second half of last season Oxford obtained 34 points which on a season-long basis would have given 68 points and still been well adrift of the play offs.
Their second half of the season was not impressive.
-
Football isn't played on paper, as proven by Oxford last season. They were in the relegation battle for most of the campaign.
-
The last 3 months of the season they got 27 points from 13 games. Also they were the only aide to take points off charlton during their excellent run of form.
So granted may not have been for half a season but definitely for the last few months of the season they were as good as anyone else in the division and will be looking to carry that form on.
They have a good squad, look at all the changes they made against us and still gave us a difficult afternoon

No but obviously you can look at a squad and use your nogging to identify whether it looks strong or not

Oxford United accrued 34 points in the second half of last season - exact same number of points that we accrued. Not sure we had the best second half of the season tbh.

I’m pretty sure they were better than a lot of sides, Scunthorpe, Bradford, Plymouth Southend off the top of my head.
Anyhow there’s no denying they ended the season over the last 3 months as good as anyone in the division and will be looking to continue with that form

Myself & my dad thought they'd be a force this season. However, aren't they suffering from money issues so it's causing a bit of unrest?

Possibly, but that was not the point made. They were not as good as anyone else in the division in the second half of the season. That was a made-up statement.
-
Which I acknowledged and altered in the very next post which you just keep ignoring
-
Still a good enough reason to expect them to do well this season which was the question asked

-
If there’s one thing you can’t question of Peterborough, it’s their ambition. However, whether that ambition is used properly is more than questionable.
Who knows how they’ll do next season? Certainly I don’t, but they do appear to be having another attempt at overhauling us!
5 signed already, but, like us, they did lose a few as well.

I was gutted when we lost to Charlton and particularly in they way lost after playing the 5 x , but now when I think of what the coming season could bring , with a great local derby with Rotherham, another visit of the Mackems and now what is becoming a return season greater than an episode of Starwars , is playing Peterborough with its cast of Villains . It’s got to be worth the cost of my season ticket on its own . What odds we get them in the cup!

Somewhere around 78/1 if you are talking about round one I guess.

Hang on a minute guys fergy has at least been posative, and is building on last years success, bit different from us letting Butler, Rowe go after losing Kane Downing and Wilks, then super Mcann speaks of letting Marquis go. Looks like were on a cost cutting exercise. So much for sustained championship side.

Pretty sure if you look through my 1000 posts or whatever it is you’ll find no criticism of any manager we’ve had nor the board.
You’re a Very odd man

Tell me how we are supposed to keep players who were on loan if the parent club want them back or loan them to a club in a higher division.
In the case of Rowe if he is asking for wages which are not within the budget do you seriously think the club should pay up.
In the case of Marquis he is only going if the price is right. We can’t keep a player from leaving to go to a higher league. ( subject to price )
You are quite frankly talking a load of tosh, even though you unfortunately are of course entitled to having an opinion.

Peterborough have transfer listed five players, released four more and sent six players they had on loan back to their parent clubs.
Probably no different really to most clubs in L1.
Would you be happy if we had splashed a seven figure fee on a player who hasn’t much of a good history, except perhaps in L2.

We're not on a cost cutting exercise, that I can guarantee.
The club will spend as much as is necessary to compete in the top 6.
-
If anything I would imagine the signings this summer will be the best we have seen for many a year. McCann has said he wants a much smaller squad so we are talking here about fewer and more expensive signings - if he spends his budget that is of course.
