worrying that Foley has not even signed as you would of thought that would of been a easy deal to reach for both parties if there was a wiliness to get it done!

That's maybe less important since he's here already. The problem is that no one who arrives after tomorrow will have played a single pre-season game, albeit they might do something behind closed doors next week.
Or Slade gave them a list of players a few weeks back--- he gave them a big nudge in the press last week but--- Katy gave him a list of RDs Euro Trash which are very very cheap--- he rejected it--- so now dear Katy is trying to get Slades players in, but o dear o dear seems to be taking a tad to much time and of course RDs Ruro Trash are still available .
They have learnt from their mistakes --- we improve every time a new manager comes in--- we will be competitive

Either that Katie is being stubborn and wont budge from her list of European names and is currently a game of who'll blink first!!
Her or Russell (in the sense that either will just go... Oh sign them then, rather than Slade resigning)
What is going on? Is it a reluctance to pay summer wages or a reluctance to sign players full stop? Or is it simply the complexities of transfer deals holding everything up?
Going to Barcelona tomorrow morning until next Thursday. Not sure whether to stay offline and get the disappointment all in one go when I'm back. Or to get a small amount of disappointment each day....
Bring suncream. It's roasting here and set to continue.
Looks like any signings we do make somebody is dragged kicking and screaming to the table. If there was a cohesive plan, this will all have been done in a measured and controlled manner ages ago, and the manager would not be talking about being 'miles away ' with two weeks to go. As each day, indeed as each hour ticks by, it looks to me an unsustainable situation already. I still don't think Russell Slade should resign, however even if it is out of his rather affable character, I really do believe he should tell the world and his wife how he is being left unsupported and rudderless, and he should shout it loudest before the first kick off. If the overall gamble is that positive results forgive everything, then they had better happen for the sake of everybody.
So far this is actually worse than last season. Then we at least had an 11 that could compete. We don't even have a starting 11 that can compete at third division level.

For RD it's all about getting more u21s into the team. Thought we'd at least have a new GK by now though.

Its a constantly roundabout argument at the moment...
RD Is claiming that Phillips is good enough because he's kept three clean sheets and saying that if its true that he's not good enough then why not Eiji Kawashima who he'd signed at Standard Liege a few years ago!!
Worst thing that I can actually see happening is we've now got the squad that'll begin the season against Bury
IF we were to have a good August then we're fucked and you wont see a single signing, we actually need to have a bad (Yes I know it probably wont be difficult) opening month for anything to actually happen

Those 'complexities' only ever seem to hold Charlton up though...?

So, RS says we need 5/6 new players. What we'll end up with is Robbie Mustoe and Jesper Blomvquist on deadline day
Not sure what the point of appointing Slade is if the SMT are not backing him. Slade's a good fit for us right now. His post match interviews are giving a clear message that we need maturity and experience in the squad - that's how you get the best out of any youngsters and I'm sure he's giving that message to KM. I'd sooner give an opportunity to our own lads than some Premier league youngster who thinks league 1 is beneath him. We've had that before!
Unfortunately the rest is up to the SMT and their ability to negotiate with other British clubs, something they've no experience with apart from selling! We all wait.
I'd heard that he had signed before last Tuesday game but if so why the lack of an announcement.
Probably waiting to get someone like Rudd / Thompson and Pearce over the line as they know there will be a wave of negative reaction for Foley if it's the only one.
Will be pretty stupid of Norwich to release their third choice Goalkeeper on loan and then for either Ruddy or McGovern to be injured in their last pre-season friendly tomorrow against Hanover as they wont be able to recall Rudd

I don't get your logic. They have the same issue if their goalies get injured anytime after saturday.

Yeah but then they've got to mess around trying to sign a Goalkeeper themselves!!... If they lose Ruddy they've still got Rudd / McGovern etc.
Only an idiot would get rid of a main GK without a replacement / cover
I wonder if once Norwich saw we had no keeper they realised we were desperate and put up the loan fee and/or percentage of wages they wanted us to pay hence the unexpected delay.

RD won't release the money to fund the recruitment
The players won't sign due to the current reputation of the club.
what a sad state of affairs

Any signings or positive rumours?
Oh well, there's always another day tomorrow, I suppose.
