Why do clubs always wait until the last minute with transfer deadlines? We could sign Messi and Ronaldo at the end of January but we'd never make the play-offs. Had we signed them on 1st Jan we'd have had a sporting chance!

I hope not, but we are in a difficult situation with a manager who's future is uncertain struggling to bring in players to help us and the prospect of wholesale changes in the summer which will be yet another big gamble. Looking at how things have panned out, and I know hindsight is a wonderful thing, but the time to make serious investment was immediately after promotion and let Paul Hurst get on with it. I reckon we could have been in the top seven that season.

It's beginning to look like Bullshito to me, yellow bamboo chi style.

Simon Jordan (the ex Palace Chairman) was on talkSPORT last night talking about managers.  He said he had worked with many managers and in his opinion all of them were always looking themselves first.  Looking for their next (better) job. Clubs and loyalty don't get much of a look-in then?.

Not as good as Vernam from what I've seen so far. He's looking like a good signing from the initial evidence.


Absolutely, it was clear within 5 minutes of his debut that he is a talented footballer. I expect him to do well on his loan, the club not to act fast enough and him to sign for Scunny in the summer.

The silence is deafening!!

That statement GTFC!!! Awesome!! Well we are 1 week away from the deadline and nothing!!........

I do hope you see sense because, no matter if he turns things around, the opinion is never going to favour RS and it is clear that with him in charge, you will never achieve great attendances!!

What kind of businessman would allow that to happen??!!

LISTEN TO THE FANS FOR ONCE AND LET US KNOW THAT, NOT ONLY CAN YOU HEAR US, YOU OCASSIONALLY LISTEN!!

The statement does not say specifically that we would be signing new players in this window- it is very carefully worded.

To get players guaranteed to be better than what we have and ready to go straight into the team and make a difference, you would have to pay top dollar. Only alternative is loans wholly or partly funded by the other club, or gambling on players from a lower division. Even in the summer, with more time and money, we didn't shop very wisely did we? More failures than successes.

Players that are good enough to improve us, available and wanting to come here will be very rare indeed i would think.

Agree with your analysis, but why has the board backed a strategy which is not deliverable? You could not make it up!
