But only 42 days until the first game and only 4 days to starting preparation. I assume that we a agree that a good pre season is important and that requires time.
Doubt many third division teams have their squad sorted, or anything like sorted, by the first training session of the pre-season.
Hopefully we’ll have the makings of a squad by the Dartford match and then be pretty much ready by Reading (aside from a final enormous marquee signing on deadline day).
What I don't get is Amos to Wigan. We know we were trying to sign him, so how can Wigan with all their troubles beat us to that signature. I suppose if I had a pair of rose tinted specs I would speculate that we have changed our mind or have somebody better lined up. Waiting to hear who it is.
Or maybe we don’t have the money. Why is no one considering this very obvious option? Just because TS has $800M does not mean he is going to spend it on us. I’ve not seen him ever say he was going to splash any cash on us and in fact still does not own any club assets like the stadium or training ground, correct? As I feel I must keep pointing out, we are net sellers since his arrival. Maybe the reason we are losing our players and not winning bids for some is simply down to the fact he won’t spend that kind of money and the agents and players know this and we do not. Is no one other than myself considering this possibility? At all? If not, why not?
Edit neither has the stuff of many a wet dreams Scott Fraser.
Ha, I am sure that a load haven’t, but I think Amos has had about 11 clubs!
I think Sol who played the vast majority of his career in the Premiership was never sitting there hoping someone would pick him up!
He has only been permanently at Man United, Bolton, Millwall and us.
I don't think Amos who signed two "first team" contracts at Man United and a massive signing on fee for Bolton has either.
I am sorry, but I don’t understand what you are saying?
I mean he has hardly been hoping someone will pick him up either. I don't think he has ever been "without a club" and was made for life when he signed for Bolton.
You made it sound like he was scrambling around every few years hopping for a job offer.

Wigan, Ipswich and Portsmouth plus Lincoln are further ahead and Oxford have a decent group. There are only 3 promotion places.

This is why I am slightly surprised he is moving (to be up north). I guess he has made his money in the game though.

What's Bogle up to these days?
Him, Fraser, Famewo & MacGillivray would get the transfer ball rolling nicely.

The world really has gone mad.
Even Man U couldn't sign him.
