    I know he's not saying that, my post says as much, which is why I'd like him to quit moaning about it 24/7.

    Am curious... Which clubs have finished their transfer business this summer?

    Especially as there have been very few Premier League loans so far to the lower leagues

    I agree we're behind where I would like us to be in terms of recruitment, it's your constant level of moaning that hurts. If the club have said our business is done then I could understand it but that is not the case.

    None, but don’t let facts get in the way of the whining bore

    Hope not what with the likes of Zoom, imagine thats been used a lot already to avoid players coming into contact too much with clubs that they may not even sign off

    I think it’s entirely fair to discuss and question our transfer business or lack of it so far. 
    There seems to be this thing since Covid where anyone who doesn’t agree with the masses get absolutely pelted. 
    The days of opposing sides in a debate seem to be disappearing.

    Debate? Discussion?! I would welcome it but all I see is someone constantly moaning that we haven't signed enough players. Oh me oh my woe. Put a fucking sock in it is all I ask.

    He doesn't get pelters  because he disagrees with the masses, he gets pelters  because every year, without fail (and I've been a member here since 2006) he bitches and moans about our lack of transfer activity. Doesn't matter who or when we sign players, how well we've done the previous season or how well we do that season, Golfie  is a constant. I even had an online spat with him one year (around a decade ago). He hasn't changed, and won't, so I'm not sure why people let him wind them up, but it is what it is.

    It’s understandable to be concerned, clearly it’s not gone as well so far as hoped. We have however gone through this every summer for the last few years, and I’m not expecting us to end up with a much weaker squad than those years with a proper owner in place.

    It’s not unbelievable to think we could get 3/4 loans, a permanent or two and a few frees I’ve the next month and a half. Even if much of that happens right at the end it’s a 46 game season so I won’t write off our chances of a serious challenge for promotion.

    I’m not writing off any chances. I’m saying that our business thus far hasn’t been what you would expect with an exuberant and relatively wealthy owner who reckoned we’d smash the league.

    And of that I'm sure the majority of us agree. I've not been hanging on Sandgaards hyperbole as much as some though. In hindsight I'm sure he'll agree it was a naive comment to make. I personally never expected him to be throwing crazy money about even after he said that but can see how others would take it more literally.

    Relatively wealthy compared to me and you but not compared to other football club owners.
