I'm sure everyone in a position to affect this at the club will agree with us on that. Given that the English window shuts earlier we will always be likely to pick players up in August. ... and at least the World Cup isn't delaying our transfer spree this season! Quote

It all makes perfect sense now... try to force your manager out hoping he'll quit and you wont have to pay compo, then hire feckin no players for weeks! Presumably to help cover what you spaffed on the compo. Its feckin genius..! cant think why none of our competitors havent done it too? oh... and keep saying, and get the players to say to the media "we are so pleased we arent making 'Panic Signings'..... but.. err doesnt trying to get 5-6 players in a couple of days before your first league game look a lot like "PANIC STATIONS'..? Remaining players from last season should have been enough to get us through that league cup group. No matter how much your hatred for Gus & GLS wants that to be different, it won’t be. Quote

Seems a fair few on here agree with me that our current team aren’t lower than L2 level 3 hours ago, bazil85 said: None of that answers my question. We did hire Goodwin, do you think we should have forced him to sign players he didn’t think were good enough? Gus role (assuming it hasn’t changed since OK Q&A) is to source & scout potential signings that will then go through a process to determine their viability & value add to the squad. Not to go over the managers head in signing players. That process now seems to be producing fruit of the rumours are to be believed. Would it be good if it could have been done earlier? Yes. Was that possible? Unknown. Posted these to save you two posting the same shite again.... for a few minutes. i hope this helps? Edited July 31, 2019 by antrin Just trying to be helpful. Quote

That is irrelevant. We have more than enough players who should be good enough to beat those two teams. To be fair, if we’d had a proven goal scorer we would have won both games.

Hypothetical question! As I've already said my opinion is that it's best to get the bulk of your squad in early and bedded in for the start of the league season and to fine tune the squad at the end of the window. Leaving the bulk of your recruitment to the end of the windows just delays the point in the season where the team is game ready with no guarantee of better quality players. Quote

Makes sense in your hypothetical supposition, however the reality of the situation did not allow for that to happen, I have no wish to revisit all the reasons why, they have been well documented. In my opinion JG has chosen a wise course (we may have to wait a while to see if that is actually the case) in going for better quality than has been usually brought in, this is not to say all will be successful, some will, some wont and some ..........well we will have to wait and see, but it should be interesting and exciting methinks.

COYS This is the second summer in a row we've had a managerial change in the close season, my recollection is that GM was brought in to provide continuity in these circumstances. Quote Chairman Gordon Scott said the new structure was introduced because "we have learned lessons" in recent months. My opinion remains that the "new structure" hasn't worked this summer for reasons that I've already given too many times. .
