    How prescient was the feller on the ground floor of the fridge in Woolwich back before this thread started who said if it meant getting Duchatelet out of our club he would take dropping to League 2.

    One thing which should be clear to all CAFC fans, no matter how bad things or; - there is still room for matters to get worse !

    Just reminds me of when I worked for a firm that had stopped paying us and the line would always be, "next Tuesday", then no phones would get answered till the following Thursday and it would be "definitely next Tuesday" again. This went on for a good 6 weeks and all the while they were saying it, their work was getting done.

    ok but please don’t shoot the messenger:

    GM anticipating ‘a difficult two weeks ahead’.

    But also that ‘it’ll all be worthwhile’.

    Which is slightly depressing if you hoped it would happen before the start of the season, but positive if you thought it wouldn’t happen this season at all, or they were pulling out.

    I’m sure he’d want to apologise for not being able to share any proper details, but if you start breaking NDAs you immedistely lose all business credibility.

    PS 16/1 is poor value.

    And so the cycle begins again.

    Date that people thought something might be done by expires. People start to lose hope. Someone pops up with a new date.

    So now we have to wait another 2 weeks minimum.

    'worthwhile'..??

    A lot of fans won't see it like that if it's not done before this transfer window...

    So, basically, forget this season.

    It’s not a date. As you say it’s a minimum.

    I hope, for GM's sake, it is worthwhile.

    I take this to mean more player sales, from an already under-sized squad. Inexperienced loans and freebies here we come

    A minimum can mean anything.
    2 weeks
    2 months
    2 years.
    This season is a total write off before a ball has been kicked.

    @AFKABartram it would be all very well your highlighting his name in bold in the bite size thread, if you’d actually got his name right.

    Lol.

    Sounds to me like they’ve just put a bid in for Orient instead...

    I know you get a lot of grief from some bells @JamesSeed but have you got any update at all for those that are happy to hear what you’ve got to say?

    This thread needs a livener.

    Only that I’m afraid.

    It's sounding as if the best we can hope for is to muddle our way through to January with our current squad, hopefully staying within sight of playoffs and then invest in new additions to push second half of season. Maybe that is even too optimistic.

    I heard on the radio Aston Villa's new owners wanted to revalue the ground becuase EFL rulings may mean they have transfer money. Bizarrely I think this relates to Finance fair play.
    If this is correct then it could spread some light on current vaulation of the Valley.

    Still got the loan market till end of August. 2/3 excellent loans could make all the difference till January .

    I'm not sure that's true anymore; rules have changed. Others will confirm...
