There is now no money for signings? Did I read that? So the desperate giveaway sales pay for the losses and we are left with loans. So instead of seeing Premiership stars of the future we now see other clubs stars of the future. Great. Slade is staggering around within this madness trying to make the best of it, he has chosen this of his own free will and must deliver at least 13 points before the transfer window slams shut, and 50 points around third round of the cup time. Loans because we have no money, I blame Sue Parkes.

I read it on this thread but not sure where this has come from. Anyone care to expand?
I read we couldn't buy anyone else until sales were made, but we have now sold JBG, Cousins and Pope and possibly Henderson to follow, with Watt presumably totally off the wage bill, so whilst they won't reinvest all of that, they must allow Russell to spend some.
You just wonder how long Russell Slade will stay when he realises what a big mistake he has made.
He hasn't made a mistake. He knew exactly what the score was when he agreed to become manager. He has his own agenda, the trouble is, I don't think that involves giving his all to his latest club.
So,free transfers and kids....this could end well.....just when you think they MIGHT,just MIGHT have learned their lesson,they sell off or release anything thats not nailed down thinking that the english manager,3 transfers in,makes up for the last 2 years guff and get in 30+ year old triallists and/or kids from other teams. Go Charlton

In football it is easy to be to out of the game and out of job and the longer that a person is the, the more difficult it is to get back in. Alan Curbishely being the prime example. So even if it is job that is clearly got huge problems and limitations, then it is tempting to take it.
Top 6 was the aim that Slade has discussed publicly. I personally think League One has a lot of ok teams but nothing to be frightened of. All much of a muchness.
But sadly we are probably going to fit that description too, unless we take on Crofts and Foley and also go and sign 2-4 more players, be that on season long loans or permanent signings.
We probably need to plan for life without Kashi, Bauer and to a lesser extent Jackson (finances dictating) and then any game time we do get from those players is a bonus.
Christ, season hasn't even started yet and people already talking about when Slade will leave! Not 2 weeks ago everyone nodded and agreed it was a decent appointment. I'm concerned about our current squad, I plan on keeping my barnet though so not going to worry too much until at least Bury away.

I agree. Not a huge amount has changed, as it was obvious some players (especially Cousins and JBG) would go. But now that they have, I want to see a couple more come in.

As Northampton wont want to lose their first game, Bolton will be trying to do the same as us whilst Walsall will be trying to forget just missing out on automatic promotion and the Play-Offs... Bury on the other hand have signed some decent Free Transfers.

Great.

So bad in fact a Palace supporting mate of mine doesn't even bother to take the piss out of us anymore.
And yet still people are wobbling and thinking of renewing their season tickets.
Now that really is weird.
I'm all for that, just not when it is continuously self inflicted and avoidable.
Just like people cant take away the fact that our greatest season was that one in 2011/12

Katrien do you see that 6 half decent (lower Championship or Premier League quality is fine) to be 'COMPETITIVE'.
COMPETITIVE...
Your favourite word in describing our goal for a season.

Bury / Northampton / Shrewsbury / Walsall / Bolton
