The fact is, they have been overseeing things since Jan, I am highlighting a lack of progress so far. But still hope things will get better. You say anything negative on here and lots jump on you. I don't think I have said anything to offend anybody
They haven't though. They have been IN NEGOTIATIONS since January. They were not in a position to actually spend money until 2 weeks ago.
You're not "jumped on" for offending anyone. People are just pointing out that you are (factually) incorrect.
the only thing that matters are the results - regardless of when the new owners arrived or what they have done / the only measure of success or failure is points. In order to get points we will need to score goals - we need strikers quick
If u want to use "they've only been here two weeks" then they haven't signed anybody. All the signings were made by Sandgaard, were they?
Nope, Tayo Edun and Terry Taylor were signed after the takeover was complete
What's your view then, u keep getting your little digs in?
Not little digs, just facts. Be patient, fuck knows we've had enough shitty owners that do sod all, or come out and make stupid statements that rile up the fan base one way or another, either about Prem in 5 years or about signing players from network clubs or whatever. These guys have barely got their feet under the table and people are just begging for a reason to flip that table in anger already. Coming on here and posting a string of comments about how they haven't bought anyone and how we need a striker (like your the first to think that!) Is completely unnecessary and smacks of a petulant child throwing a tantrum when they don't get shiny new toys every week
Let's see where we are at, at the end of the window.. Always said millions will not be spent on players. Players that have come in so far, are an upgrade on last year.
We do need more in terms of numbers, and higher standard back up players
Far be it for me to spend other people's money, But the CAFC first team squad has been paper thin for years now. The supporters see it. The owners bat it off. It's always been Jam tomorrow. I said previously that I thought the delay in this takeover gave the new owners an 'out' for why we didn't get business done. But I agree, let's wait and see.
But if at the end of this window we are all still bemoaning a piss poor squad then I think we can safely categorise the 'New regime' in with the old lot.

Who was behind the hiring of Holden? I thought it was the new ownership even though weren’t actually in charge yet.

This is my view as well, I am certainly not of the opinion that everything is rosy now or that it definitely will be by the time the window closes.
They've not been on the scene long which gives some grace and we can be fairly confident that in addition to May we have at least targeted Smith and Nombe, albeit unsuccessfully, so the intent seems to be there... but it's all about the execution.
Ultimately its about results on the pitch and off and while I am reserving judgment for now that doesn't mean they will be getting a free pass from me.
Feels like a P'boro style signing. Would be good to see as a 4th choice gamble.
Yep I think this is fine if it’s a 4th choice punt and we still bring another striker in
4th choice? Doesn’t that mean ‘he’s not very good, but we’ll sign him anyway’? Really hoping we’re more ambitious than that.
More that he’s a bit of a punt so we need to be in a position where we don’t need to rely on him, but if the gamble pays off he will be better that. Ideally we have Leaburn, May, a new striker and then this Stewart if we do sign him. If not then Kanu/Campbell can probably do that job as the 4th choice that might come good
I know what you mean, but I think there’s an element of keeping our fingers crossed about some of our signings, and I think we’ve had enough of it.
The success of our season hinges of what happens of the next few weeks in the transfer arena.
We need at least two or three very solid signings now, or we’re going to be hanging around the mid table area again, and that’s not good enough.
They have been around since Jan. Go spend some money!
The hole you are digging is getting deeper
would you spend money on something you didn't own
And the winner is, the most ridiculous comment on here!
Fuck me you are on one today aren't you. Posters are responding to your ridiculous comments in a structured and positive way and you are acting like a bit of a dick and yes you are digging away making your comments look even more stupid.
I think Dubai is right, bad night sleep, everything okay hun?
So with the new injuries mentioned last night, realistically for Saturday we're looking at a back three of Ness, Hector, Thomas (Mitchell as the only cover on the bench?). Then we have Payne coming in for Fraser at the top of the midfield, and up front it's May starting with either Kirk or Kanu. Not really good enough is it, and not like we didn't know we were short in these areas. All fine to say the window is still open, but the season has started and we have games to play now...
Dear God is it the school holidays? This is a rumours thread and yet again we've plunged into the owners when or not they had influence etc. People are in meltdown after a very poor performance last night, unbelievable! I agree we need more players, I'm sure they know it, BUT what's the point of spending money for the sake of it on players who, because we the fans think they must be bought, might be not the ones that the club wants? Let's just see what happens and chill out! Anyway any rumours?

Hilarious, you ask me what my view is and then because you don't like it claim I'm being personal. I've got plenty to say but you don't want to hear it and it's fine.
Here's some free advice, log off and go breath in some fresh air in the sunshine that's been a rarity recently
When I see some names listed on the team sheet, I read 'em and weep thinking we've wound up with the dead man's hand again. Much work still there is to do before the window shuts, hopefully some incoming upgrades on the outgoing misfits.

1. you make an offer
2. it's accepted
3. contracts are drawn up and signed
4. completion
until 1-3 is complete, why spend money? I'm not sure what you mean with why buy it then?
