    GA clearly knocked on their doors and told them he needs more quality to work with if they want him to deliver a promotion team.

    Fair play to GA If that is indeed tge case.

    Defensive midfielder player and another centre half please.

    So additional investment then, like he promised he was going to provide and then didn't and is only doing so now because the lies have been exposed.

    There could be any manner of reasons financially why he is putting extra money in now. I very much doubt a few of the usual suspects on social media having a pop is going to alter his thinking

    It's not quite clear. Releasing funds? Like, we had the money but saved and we're now spending it?

    Can't be investment because that's the word that would be used and if it were investment why would Ryan and David be releasing it? SR would be giving it.

    “Business we need to do”
    “Essential”
    Words to indicate maybe the first XI isnt quite there, let alone squad.

    Shame it wasn’t released at the start of the window, then we could have brought in 2 CBs of quality instead of what we did manage to bring in and it would have been cheaper as it would have been 2 less wages taking up space on players not good enough for our objectives. Sounds like Alexander had a word.

    I've heard from two or three posters on Shepherd on his passing/running ability with the ball but my question is 'Can he defend' ;)

    Playing catch up with 2 weeks left of the window..... it's a Bantam thing.

    At least we've decided to change transfer tactic with a bit of time to go rather than with about 3 days to go and ending up with Tulloch and Afoka.

    There's no whining. We're just trying to understand what is being said since there have been contradictory statements over the summer. Also, I believe we were supposed to hear more from our owner?

    If the funds were released earlier we would have a full squad and better CBs rather than the shite weve signed.

    It took GA going on about FFP and then someone dispelling it as rubbish for the club to act.

    Just think, if we had played a full team last night, we may have won and had more funds in the coffers from the football fortune rules.

    surely one of the most obvious things to attempt to raise money at this level is to try win a cup game and get possible money spinner in the next round. We on the other hand dick about changing the team and go out with a whimper

    Jamie Raynor deserves a lot of credit for that. The sort of investigative journalism Simon Parker can only dream about.

    Well I said I would give them a few weeks for everything to settle down before being highly critical.

    There's absolutely nothing in that short clip that suggests Rupp had invested anything. All they've probably done is just stretched the budget slightly.

    Everyone could have told him that before we even kicked off. The weakest areas of the squad have been clear since July and imo still remain the weakest areas.
