Quoted from Ipswin
Lets be honest Holloway has the contacts, he might be very persuasive with loanees and attractive to a few old pros but at the end of the day more than just Holloway's personality and experience is going to be needed to get anything decent to BP.
I fear we will end up with everyone elses left overs who are absolutely desperate for a club a week or so before kickoff and we'll put a brave and exaggerated face on it as usual with GTFC.


I am (nearly) as cynical as you but I think we have to put our faith in Holloway who wanted to deliver a project that Town fans could be proud of. He talked about leaving a legacy.

Of course in these early days it will be similar to the early Buckley years - get players in who fit your version of playing whether well known or not, and start building the first bricks of the legacy.

Holloway has more pulling power than Buckley did when starting out at Town so although money will always be a factor I think we can expect signings to be of a better calibre than we are used to.

All this is predicated on a reasonable budget being available but I dont know where that is coming from without fans' income?

We will know soon enough as we need some players urgently if we are looking to start in just over a month.

I think the club won't blink on any significant signings/ spending until the EFL, Government, F.A , Uncle Tom Cobley and all have given very clear advice or assurances on how the season is going to pan out or any potential financial support packages.  Without any green light on fully open stadia or even as yet partially open stadia i cant see the club hurrying to authorise any spend.
They may allow Holloway a couple of signings in the two main positions he has mentioned, midfield and striker, as without they may completely lose his passion/ commitment as well as the patience of supporters, but if the season is going ahead as we currently stand then i think we will be making do and mend with what we have supplemented by some canny loans.

The ex-Rangers nutjob? Seems an interesting character, if nothing else.
