    Why should we believe anything will happen in January

    Let's be honest we have a manger who hasn't been convincing in anything he's said all season....clearly he was told things that haven't and won't happen

    He does not use the ones he has now properly so new signings will be just as bad

    I wouldn’t say he doesn’t care, he’s just not going to put the club in massive debt again like Rahic did in 2018/19 when we had a 4.5 million budget and got relegated. I’d love him to donate a few million to us so we could have a big splash in the transfer market but very few owners do that. Rhodes and Lawn relied on cup runs which we haven’t had since 2015 and remember the first five years of Lawns tenure were pretty dreadful. It would be great if we got took over by a multi millionaire who would let us have a massive budget but there aren’t many around who are prepared to do that. I’ve heard supporters screaming for Mike Ashley to buy City but Newcastle fans wanted him out because he wasn’t prepared to put the club in massive debt chasing a dream. He would run City in exactly the way it’s run now with a player budget that’s not loss making.

    Adams for me it is do or die, yes some of players already here yes some signed before arrival but then see the shit that also came in after you joined. Wanted small squad just like McCall and injuries and you knackered parky had big squad and was ok. Then again we had reserve team that got stopped by powers that be.
    O’Donnell poor keeper but bench when fit hornby gone backwards and must of wondering why he signed again.
    Threlkeld /dawson average and can’t tell which game going to turn up for.
    Foulds poor
    Ridehalgh best signing
    Kellerher not good enough poor and not know why we brought him if play midfield as centre half.
    Paudie and canavan best pairing when fit.
    Songo decent signing
    Sutton on his day handful
    Watt poor gone backwards should of cashed in
    Evans passed it
    Scales not good enough
    Cooke on his day quality
    Gilly poor signing
    Vernam top player
    Cook needs a partner need two up top
    Lavery and Robinson never ever going to score waste of wages
    Eisa ????
    Angol missed but not the answer should of got Stockton
    Sikora Staunton not good enough.

    as you can see need about six or seven players and get rid but who going to want them???? Rant over!!!!!!!

    January is ages away, things need an immediate shake up as it could be far worse by then.

    We do need an immediake shake up, yeah. Canavan back at CB and Songoo in for Watt IMO.

    cant see what else we can do short term but Jan does give us the possibility of bringing in fresh faces from the new recruitment structure we set up.

    We are going to have to up our playing budged by at least 25% if we are going to drastically improve.
    January is a notoriously difficult time to sign players of quality and Adams has now put his neck on the line tonight.
    His interview tonight was very strange. Didn’t really answer anything and sounded completely fed up. He’s normally got some fire in his belly but he appears to have lost that tonight.

    I thought the idea was he could fund us to make us competitive in the Championship lmao if he's worried about how much he's spent so far he really doesn't have a tracking clue lol Championship clubs rack up tens of millions in debt ON PURPOSE

    Adams deserves time but I don’t like this do or die mentality with him from fans. He’s not Jesus Christ. He’s done good to middling jobs where’s he’s been but he’s not some miracle worker where if we lose him we can not appoint a good manager again.
    People said Peter Taylor was do or die. He wasn’t. Adams is not.
    He has a hell of a job to do now and I hope he is cut out for it but he’s done some strange things so far and if the results continue he isn’t very endearing to the fans. It could turn sour

    Is there time for a bid, due diligence and a take over in time for the transfer window?

    No chance.
    With talk of covid passports and the continuing increase in covid cases there is no way we spend money in January. Sparks has already said this will cost the club a chunk of money.
    We will no doubt need to move players on before adding

    Add to that increased utility bills, fuel etc and the budget gets squeezed further and further.
