    Shane Ferguson wants 6k a week so may not happen now as we are not willing to pay that 
    Not the type of player we should be looking at, expensive and on the decline. Not to mention a spanner.
    Totally agree

    Just to put some things into perspective. Family member who works for a prem club has said that everyone from the prem down (apart from the 3 relegated) are almost all now broke from the pandemic. Stating that apart from those teams relegated the championship teams won’t spend any transfer fees. So more than likely there will be a ripple affect where clubs are negotiating their high earners off their books for free.  

    Thomas is a business man and seems like an intelligent person so I doubt we’re splashing our cash around. Especially as there’s no guarantee of normality this December. 

    Also stated agents are still expecting stupid fees which clubs can no longer afford. So this is stopping the transfers going through. 

    Also stated Palace unless they get Fat Frank in and all Chelsea loans they’re almost certain to be relegated....fingers crossed.

    Relax...I expect most transfers will happen towards the end of the window.

    Maybe we are waiting for Driesen to sign off on all the incomings?

    can’t wait for Thomas to put out a tweet saying, lads…. Don’t worry about the lack of transfer activity, we’re waiting for a shipment of rubber to arrive
    Corrected for you … 

    For you youngsters, when we nearly went bust in the 1980’s, Mark Hulyer was working with an African Prince and the was going to fund the club from the proceeds of his shipment of rubber.

    When does our pre season start? As long as the vast majority of our signings are made by that date, then I don't care when they actually sign

    I thought Garath’s open letter flowed a little better.

    classic Ackworth !!
  • Jesus that guy is having a full on meltdown on his twitter. Great entertainment before I clock out though.
  • I think this poor fella must've read all 135 pages of this thread without finding a single credible rumour and has full on lost the plot

    So with 4000 posts on this thread so far do we have any actual strong rumours linking us with a good player yet? Or should I just take the advice of some here and wait a month until we supposedly get active?

    Dazzler, add me to the list.

    I was walking on my round and I saw a moving truck called 'Bishop's move'. On the long awaited June the 9th as well?

    Dont think he is the type of player we should be looking at plus he’s ex Millwall. 
    So was Harry Cripps. Just sayin’. 

    And what’s this about Randle and Hopkirk? I thought one of them was deceased?

    I think he was doing his own homage to Southgates open letter, staggeringly arrogant of him to think it would be taken seriously.
    Ackworth that is!

    Don’t bother just the rantings of a deluded narcissist.
    But highlights are that Gallen Roddy and Parkes “need to go because we should have had a new team in place by now”
    and he isn’t renewing his season ticket until he sees some evidence of improvement…

    The statement has been deleted from his Twitter unless anyone saved a copy of it

    The guy has mental capacity issues so while he posts nonsense constantly on social media maybe better not to mention or repost it.
