If it ends up like this then MS is gonna have a very tough time.
From who, apart from you?
And also why? If things stay the way they are, we are stronger than we were when ESI first took over.
Bowyer Signed and Taylor Stays. 3 players signed, and the only real blemish being Gallagher leaving, which was not in our hands.
I mean that is simply not correct. When ESI took over we had Bowyer, Taylor and Gallagher (plus Leko, Kayal and Ledley). We don’t anymore.
I’m not certain if we are better now with Gallagher replaced by the new recruits, they’d have to be pretty good for that to be the case because he was our best player.
So we had £2.5 million plus a fair wage sat there for Maddison?
Something seriously off if we don't get at least one decent permanent through the door.
It wasn’t £2.5m, his buy out clause decreased as his contract ran down and Posh fans reckoned they’d get no more than £750,000. MacAnthony also said the payment was staggered.
As you may have seen from all my posts I am very much a glass half full person, and have been positive about Matt's social media use and have mentioned you can just ignore it if you don't like it.
That being said, the continuous deleting of tweets does worry me. There's a difference between being generally engaging and trying to control the narrative.

Depends if there are some dicks out there sending him abuse on these twitter posts
Still got a little bit of time left to bring players in and to be honest, as long as we keep Taylor then I won’t be too despondent. However, I’d be happier if we did bring in a couple of permanents. Would be nice having one or two in in preparation for next season. With out of contracts and end of loans it means another rebuild in the summer, regardless of which division we’re going to find ourselves in.

I honestly can't believe you are trying to use Joe Ledley leaving as a counter argument against my point.
From what I have seen of him I would argue that Green looks to be as useful as Leko. Kayal never got going and I believe Smith will be better than him because of that. And Mcgeady offers something different to what we previously had and is a player Bowyer clearly rates.
For me that outweighs the loss of Gallagher, which I mention is the only blemish, and at least that is in a position we have plenty of options in.
Its not compulsory to get excited about every single signing Charlton make, the same way it’s not compulsory to jump if someone shouts boo.
Its only chewing the fat on a message board. Doesn’t mean if someone is underwhelmed they’re not going to support that person 100% when they play for us.
Leko scored 5 and assisted 6 or something like that, Gallagher scored 6 and was a front runner for player of the season. No way do Green, McGeady and Smith make us better.

In terms of the actual transfers done so far, I'd say we're even or slightly down.

Matt loves the drama.
things must be desperate

And we still may sign someone else.
