Think you only have to read those comments to see why they are holding off for as long as possible before making any signings. My guesstimate is that every week they can get by without having a full squad is saving them about £10,000 per week

Many have questioned the clubs ambition for sometime, I think yesterday was another statement to suppress and potential expectations.

Naturally the club will be hit hard, as will most clubs. Yes, some clubs are signing players and that’s their choice. They’ve obviously decided that they feel they need to make signings and gamble, potentially capitalising on the fact the standard of the league and some teams won’t be as competitive as normal.


On the one hand I feel that we could struggle and certainly hover closer to the bottom than the top but equally, as stated, I’m not sure the league will be as competitive as usual so may be just a couple of decent signings could see us finish at least mid table.

I think we could see a selection of loan players coming in, although that will still depend on percentage of wages that needs paying. I personally don’t think it’ll make a difference who the manager is, players will certainly make decisions based purely on cash at the moment, more so than ever before I think.

It was disappointing not to see some acknowledgement of the crowd funder. Just because I chose not to donate doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be commended.

Make every club "supporter" owned with a limit on share ownership,no foreigners -players,owners,managers. Let them work in their own countries. supposed to be the English league - hardly any English in it. cap on everything with profits going back to supporters P.S.   and Bovril only costing 50p

Don’t think we’ll have to worry about relegation this season as there will probably be a few teams go belly up so why bother lashing out on players this season and risk financial ruin   ?

Might not get relegated but it will also make it a cracking time to push for promotion. I think the more savy clubs have realised this so are pushing ahead with signings.
But on the original point of lost revenue the board are architects of this to some extent. Fans have been complaining for years about the poor facilities at BP. I see it will now have a big effect on reducing potential  crowd numbers.

If enough teams go to the wall we might even get automatic promotion!

Even if we were one of only 3 teams left in the league we would still find a way to member it up

Be interesting to see if Mr Fenty still claws back more of his loan in these challenging times.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”
