More bad news....two of our shot shy none creative players have been selected for internationals over w/e 4 Sept. 
Therefore our only striker who can kick a ball at the goal and our only LB left standing will not be available for at least one game, barring injuries! 
We have fuck all of a first XI and 2 more will be absent. 

I didn't  think any of ours would  be of that quality.  

What a joke . We lose players we can't afford to lose 

need to ensure our next signing is a full international, preferably for Italy, Spain etc.

I'll take the third choice Gibraltan keeper if it means we have the international breaks

Reckon I'm in the majority here, I will come here frequently till the window close. Don't want to wade through all of this..

We all want the thread to be full of rumours and not chit chat, but there’s no rumours! 

Anyone else feeling very worried by the complete lack of any rumours so far this week ? Surely after our start we have to make a few signings this week ?

Par for the course and reading between the lines we will be underwhelmed.  I bet Stockley , MacGillivray and Kirk wish they had not signed.  With this shit who would , but the desperate. 

Please have an afternoon off

Have a year off

Honest question...would you rather rumours galore and no signings or business done on the quiet? Which most of it has been done up until now.

Yes I agree mate but as I said I'm starting to get a bit twitchy now

But it just doesn't happen does it, you really think we will sign 6 players with next to no rumours? 

In fact, I can't think of 1 signing this summer that has come totally out of the blue with ZERO rumours before hand. 

There has been something said by Richard Cawley an hour or 2 before they signed. Some like Kirk and Stockley were touted for a while obviously.

It basically looks like the club and team are this season treading water. Perhaps with a new owner needing to sort out ten years of mis management and put into place the building blocks of success going forward we shouldn’t be either too surprised or disappointed. I just wish that realism had been transmitted to the fans. I think to a man (and woman) this would have been embraced and supported. Instead we’re seeing to consequences of the nonsense. Massive own goal. I’m convinced we’ll be ok but it’s the long haul not the express route we were sold. 

“Treading water” in L1 = additional enormous financial losses and a loss of faith in the credibility of both owner and manager. 

I don’t really see how we can stay in L1 and it be seen as anything other than a failure. 

I think it will absolutely be seen as a failure by everyone involved. The question that will raise is whether it prompts Sandgaard to either open the purse strings or bail out completely.

Even if Sandgaard has spent more than any other owner and the budget is spanked, it doesn't detract from the fact that this team are unlikely to win many games, thus more likely to be in a relegation fight than a promotion race. 

Flogging a dead horse is not a business strategy expected of a respected experienced and very successful businessman, which leads to fans becoming concerned that there is something wrong in senior management team. 

Thomas is now (if he wasn't before) acutely aware that he will have to lose money every year he owns this business, whatever league we are in. How much he is willing to lose is the key.

Didn't the Middlesbrough owner lose something in the region of £200m and still the fans wanted a new owner. Football fans are fickle. FACT.

Apparently Ghandour or what ever his name is has been called up by Lebanon.  He was on the bench against Sheffield Wednesday. 

Where have you seen he's been called up?

We need to be careful with Sandgaard and not piss him off to the point he might become disillusioned and walk away.........even if it means another year or so  in L1 we need to face up to that fact.....

If he's that much of a snowflake I'm not sure people will want him about for years to come

Nixon was on the Kirk one a few days before it happened, the only one that's come out of the blue so far is Sean Clare and that's because it came about quite quickly.

I think it's likely we'd hear whispers if we were close to anything.

Corey Blackett-Taylor was training with us for over a week before his name was put in the press.

I think someone mentioned it on here prior to the article though.
