The midfielder we are due to sign today is currently at a higher tier club (championship I expect) by the sounds of things....which would obviously rule out Reeves and Carruthers who MK sound to be asking big bucks for. From what KR has told Cawley it sounds like today's signing was reluctant to drop down to league one at first but is now ready to sign for us (maybe KR convinced him, maybe he had no better offers....who knows).
He's rebuilding a squad due to a change in style of football (for the better after watching Slade's team) but he's working for RD.
He could need this window and the summer to build the squad he needs but if we don't get promoted he'll be lucky to keep his job.
In other words he is only capable of setting his teams out in one way and if he doesn't get all the players he needs to play the only way he knows then we and he are in trouble.

In Roland's world. If we were a well run club we'd have a style of play and if the manager moves on replace him with another with a similar style.
There is no clause preventing the Charlton boss from poaching players from his old club.
Taken from the Cawley article... Would bloody hope not, MK Dons sacked him so what right have they got to tell him he cant sign their players, its not like we signed Robinson when he was still their boss!!
Depends on what the staggered payments are for. Everton staying up would make it worthwhile. £1M per 5 squad appearances reasonable. Anything else is less so. Basically £3.5M add ons would mean 17 odd appearances for £7M which would be about normal for the ridiculously inflated PL market for English players.

Ceballos and Vetokele not being recalled and KR wants 4/5 signings.

Who knows, maybe?
Code for "We've got the wrong CEO and the wrong owner, once they're gone things can move in the right direction".
I doubt we'll ever know.
