We need to be realistic but there is no reason why we shouldn't expect to be able to sign a mix of reasonable players.

Both young prospects for the future and some experienced. We were able to do it with limited finances under Moyes

Within 18 months we will be playing in one of the best stadiums in the country with 53K fans. That will definitely have an appeal for a percentage of players out there, I'm certain of it.

Obviously not all, and it won't mean we can sign top players if we are 14th - 17th but it will help us beat similar placed rivals to signings.
 

No way should our club be a laughingstock the buck starts at the top - they need to sell up & leave .

Problem with that Joey is, who will buy and for how much. Add to that will there be enough money left over to rebuild. Plus will there be enough to pay for BMD ?
 
Do you mean before or after Mosh ? We still not very clever before Mosh under BK.
We were not fighting relegation though ..... plus we never had FFP on our backs - this guy now is a glorified bad accountant who lost his main backer due to the Ukraine war & won't have an AGM as BK is advising him .... a sad state of affairs if we can avoid relegation next year & he can sell up thats our only hope ....

Comes bask to what I aid before Joey who would buy us etc.
 
I was reading the transfer thread this morning and one thing strikes me every single time I venture in there is the level of delusion as to our current standing and what we can expect as a club.

The number of times we turn our noses up at potential signings because they supposedly aren't good enough for us, people speculating about why we haven't gone for this player or that player, when realistically they're way out of our reach.

We are a club that for the next few years will be threatened with relegation and it doesn't matter how much you bang on about our history it doesn't make us an attractive proposition in the present. If you accept where we currently are and the grind that it's going to be over the next few years to get out of it then you'll feel much better, don't have an aneurysm when Antonio or Adams get mentioned, they're currently our level both ability wise and financially.

Calm down, accept our current situation and lower your expectations and things won't seem quite so bleak.
They aren't, and neither is Maupay
There are definitely better prospects out there willing to sign for us even though we are nowhere near what we used to be
We just need a club that is willing to look and take the odd risk

Though I agree with your overall sentiment, we don't have to accept utter dross
 
In this league, though, I really don't think it would take too much to turn our fortunes. A bit of stability and a couple of good additions could genuinely have us back looking towards the top half. The way I see it, the so called "top 6" and maybe Newcastle now as well, are the only clubs who defo won't go down. Everyone else is at risk if they make a few bad decisions and/or have some really bad luck.

People do need to chill, like. I do agree there.

Also, yer Mar.
