    Paudie is never a red card their player clearly elbows french before being confronted to which there is no headbutt and their player makes a meal out of nothing. Ant is though.

    If have gone for McCormack at Southend 36 but 3 promotions from last 3 seasons. Would have needed a bit of looking after but good player to have in dressing room and at club. Can’t be on amazing money at Southend with all their troubles

    It certainly looks like Adams tried to elbows French in the face, which should have been dealt with by the referee but Paudie thought he'd play the big man and get involved, having said that its a natural instinct for an ex Leeds man ;).

    I wonder if Julian has allowed Stuarts Nokia to make International calls? Surely after what happened yesterday a) the result b) the injuries, Stuart has to be on the phone to Rupp asking when and how much he's going to allocate into reinforcing the squad. It's getting a bit stupid now the length of time it's dragging on. Players are out there looking for clubs, or looking to move. I'm not buying into Stuarts excuses for the Board. If we don't see any new bodies coming in next week, then I think that's it in terms of ambition. Only heading in one direction.

    We don't know what's going on behind
    the scenes but this time Stuart may have
    to confirm with wishes of powers above?

    Stefan Rupp made it clear, in the Colchester programme, that the funds are there, for Stuart to spend.

    We need to be careful here. We don't want to be rushing to get another central defender in and then we're stuck with loads of defenders and no spaces in the squad or cap unless others are leaving. Fingers crossed Reece's injury isn't that bad.

    Looking at yesterday when Stuart brought Finn on instead of Jackson it suggests he would like Jackson to go out on loan and he did mention something about loans/outgoings so we'll see but it's hard to think that with so many players available we'd be able to move players out that already have a contract with us.

    The relevant quote from Stefan is "Stuart has certainly freshened up the squad, which is packed full of talent, and has funds available should he feel the need to further strengthen before the transfer window closes next month".

    Bit ambiguous that. 'Has funds available' could mean he has all of what's left of the cap available, or could mean he only has a percentage of it.

    I agree. However, there have been plenty of indications elsewhere that Stuart can spend up to the cap. A few have suggested that there may be £400,000 left.

    Yes loses a bit of credibility with that unless he is hoping that will convince some other mug at another club to sign some of Rahic/Bowyer misfits.

    Even more deluded than I thought, so basically McCall has some of the salary cap money left after his great dealings in the transfer market bringing in a squad full of talent, stick to motor racing Stefan, or better still sell the club.

    I don't suppose Rupp wrote a word of that. It will be someone in the club PR/marketing team.

    I havent seen the notes (have asked a few times), so thanks for quoting some relevance.
    400k hahaha. Have we had 400k to spend on players since the Prem? Hilarious. Yet Stuart is scratching around for free transfers and loans.
    I'm just imagining Rupp thinking, "Well that's another day gone without Stu ringing me up asking for the transfer kitty. Might aswell get those new decals on the car like I was planning to".

    WHAT IS HE WAITING FOR??!!!

    The £400k is the salary budget cap that is still available, inc signing on fees and bonuses etc.

    It's going to be interesting to see how we line up against Stevenage, assuming Staunton isn't back in time and we don't bring in a defender. I don't even know what my defence would look like if I was Stuart, at least Sutton is finally available.

    Sutton, French, Sikora, BRE, Wood maybe?

    or just go with a back four and drop Sikora? Novak must be rank quite highly in terms of CB options available to us at the minute after Saturday...
