They have planned if you listen to the interviews! Things don't happen all at once. You have to respect GMs choices. He's already acted to get Agard in. He's already told us about Jacobs who seems to have dithered and wants a chance to stay where he is for now, so I'm sure GM will look at other options on the list. Some he'll give time to, some he won't. We've no reason to believe he won't stick to the deadlines he's set aside for each acquisition. As they said, the next 7 days or so will tell us more about who he's targeted. It may also mean there's scope at the end of the window to do more business. Let them get on with it!!

We could potentially do more harm than good in the next two weeks. Targets at the start of the month could have been put off by recent form.Don't buy that. If they're getting a decent length contract on decent money I would not imagine league one or two makes much difference to a lot of players.You'd be mistaken. The club has to have a relegation cause built into the contract, so it does matter!They don’t have to, you’ve already stated non of our contracted players have relegation clauses

I don’t like to go about acting like I think I’m right all the time, and I accept the counter arguments happily. I think I’ll put the opening post down to an expression of frustration on my part. I won’t be one of the ones demanding that the board be sacked, or the manager be replaced. I just want the best for the club and the team, and more than anything I want us to be in a position to get results to shut the Netto mob up and restore a bit of genuine pride. We are fortunate to have a club that has lots of good people working within it. These are imperfect times and not everything can run smoothly. We’ll see where we are over the next week or two and in the mean time the best thing we can do as supporters is encourage the team to compete in the coming games. I am, as always, behind the manager and the club.
We’ve basically given up on this season. New signings should have been ready to sign on Jan 1st. That would have given us a fighting chance. What the hell has Younger etc been doing since August ?

Quote from: normal rules on January 14, 2022, 04:24:42 pmBoston United have just signed Hanson fromFarsley Celtic. Yes he is 34, but plenty of league exp and knows where the goal is. He could have done a job for us. Boston have him till end of season so short term deals are out there. I'd hope we weren't shopping in the same shop as Boston.

What the hell has Younger etc been doing since August ? That's because it doesn't work like that.You can plan to have as many players lined up as you like but that doesn't necessarily mean that it will all fall into place.Clubs can agree to let players go many weeks in advance, but in the few days leading up to the actual agreed date a player can change his mind, the club can change its mind, the club can have further injuries affecting their choice and in this day and age Covid can and does have an impact.I know the club have at least 3 more players ready, maybe even 4, but announcements will be delayed by a few days so as to make doubly sure none of the above can impact further than it already has done.

Exactly right.Pretty standard I would think no? Protects the club as well as the player
As has been already said, those last two defeats, especially the capitulation at Morecombe, have really done for us.Instead of being able to pick up up & coming talent because there’s a realistic chance of us staying in this division, we have to accept we’re reduced to picking up & waiting for ‘left overs’.
With all due respect Martin, in the last window we were in for’ Will Grigg. He chose a club higher in the division. Being anchored to the foot of the table is not a great attraction for players of the calibre to either keep us in this division or ‘tear up trees’ in Lg2, despite the esteem the club is held in within the ‘football world’.‘Left overs’ was a clumsy description born of the frustration I feel from the position the club is currently in.I’ll be there today hoping for the best, fearing for the worst.Gary McSheffrey has a massive job to do in the next season & a half. I truly hope he can recruit well.
