    What you can afford and what you are prepared to pay are different variables.

    He wouldn't last 2 minutes in a Graham Alexander side especially how we are playing at the moment

    Haaland would struggle to get a shot in this team

    I wonder if the recruitment is going to be based on these three results so as not to spaff money when we are at best going to be play off candidates?

    When are we going to be playoff candidates?

    Not aware City are currently interested at the moment and haven't been for a while

    Yes of course but who has the final say if not the manager who's job is ultimately judged on how we perform.

    Fans demanded a head of ops/senior figure to oversee transfers. That was to stop silly expensive mistakes like Oliver and all the other shite.

    Cant have it both ways.

    Has this been the worst January window in history?

    If they're anything like the 3 we've brought in so far we may as well not bother.

    I'd say January 22 is still worse with panic striker signings of Theo Robinson, Delfouneso and Elliott. I do worry with how hard it is to get a striker at the best of times, 1 less than a week to go in the January window and us in poor form it gets even tougher and panic signings become more likely.
    January 20 would have looked even worse if the season ended with losing Doyle and Vaughan then replacing them with Guthrie and Mottley-Henry.

    Look at the common denominator with continuous poor winter windows .. Rupp. We will never and I mean never truly fulfill our potential with him
    Owning the club.

    The owner is not reliable based on his history of mistreatment of previous managers, players and lack of funding.

    Alexander is either too weak or naive to do anything about it.

    The whole point of football is to win and progress. Anyone responsible that decides otherwise isn't honouring thier commitments and is basically ripping off the the fans, sponsers etc.

    We have had sustainable years in league 2 (what a joke) and looks like we're doing the same this year get rid of high wage earners and replace them with loafers.

    Not good enough.

    Nobody is on about about panic buying but to make us fooking weaker well its a new on me ...........i get if its a club stuck in midtable with knowhere to go and a good chance to get wages of the books ...........but we stood 2nd at the start of Jan to actually do what they have done is just mind boggling.

    Still more fool all of us getting giddy with an owner like that should have been prepared for it ...........next months forum will be more bullshit spun along the lines of all the money saved now will deffo go towards a promotion push next season and on it goes.


    Getting all them fans back onside creating a great bond could be all destroyed in one month ..........the fans are turning and god forbid there is another no show against Donny :(

    No reason not to expect a "no show" against Doncaster. We are currently toothless and spineless so unless some miracle signings happen in the next 48 hours then nothing will be any different. I also fear for the remainder of the season. it's a good job we have the points we already have

    Grant McCann has won 4 on the spin against GA. Saturday could be very toxic if this carries on

    Clean sheet for Byrne tonight as they thrashed Orient 3-0. I know which dressing room of the two I’d rather be in on Saturday.

    when your captain is playing like he needs dropping, you are leaving attackers unmarked, and not registering shots on goal……

    0-1 written all over it.
