God knows how some of you would have coped back in the day when we had no internet or social media. We all had to wait for a Thursday to buy the local rag to find out who we'd signed. Seeing Alan Mullery had signed five players in a week was about as good as it got ... WIOTOS
There was always Clubcall, £2.70 to find out nothing had happened.

You forgot who we signed then. I still remember Billy Lansdowne . Aagghhh
From memory there were six in all that window .
Phil Ferns , Steve Harrison ,Billy Landsdowne , John and Leighton Phillips were the five .
Don McAlister took a bit longer because he had a contractual dispute with Spurs

There was a phone in our school that you put the money in to speak. Was perfect for Clubcall although we got quite the bollocking when the teachers got wise to it!
Come on people. Things could be worse. It's not as if Cawley has just posted a tweet saying that Millwall's summer signings are now pretty much complete and they have a full squad raring to go into a pre-season.

Or if you forgot to put the handset down properly because it was a Friday night after the pubs kicked out it was a £185 phone call which your mum let you pay back at twenty five quid a week........

Clubcall - one of the first of my many addictions in life from the age of about 14. I just got baited every time by the teletext ads. Amazed my mum let me have a phone in my room!
If a player/players signed last thurs or end of last week i dont get the delay unless they saving them all up to announce at once 🤷🏻♂️
They didn't sign, it's all bullshit, until the OS says otherwise
Have I ever actually got one wrong? I don’t post until I am sure to avoid getting called a liar. I’ll just keep it to myself next time.
From a personal point i'm interested So, keep em coming if they are legit, no reason to think otherwise..just seems a bit strange the time lag between signing and being announced, maybe you don't think so?
Maybe Thomas has said he wanted a sit down with each one of the potential new signings before contracts are sorted and he is looking them in the eye and asking them " ok you tell me matey what am I getting for my money here " lol

It's such a top signing they are working out how to make the announcement without breaking the internet.

All is not lost. We could make the Celtic friendly a seven-a-side fixture or maybe borrow some of their squad.
Oh...what a minute.
