I admire our chairman greatly and thank him for what he has done for us, but the current situation is becoming serious.

We are being seriously left behind in recruitment, all our so called targets are falling away, i suggest this is because they see us as not showing enough ambition and desire to secure their services. Example 'Tom Bradshaw' going to Barnsley as we wont pay an acceptable fee, would make me wonder if the club really wanted me if i was him.

Patience, patience, patience we keep getting told, but we are not showing any ambition in the recruitment of players despite talk of record fee's being offered. How many times in the past have we been told the club is to smash its transfer record, only to find it never happens.

ACTIONS speak louder than words, i for one am sick of the constant platitudes and empty promises coming from the club, we need to recruit quality sooner rather than later and SPEND SOME MONEY.

Only 3 weeks from season start and we have had to cancel a friendly due to injuries, what a ridiculous situation to be in for a so called championship club with supposedly high ambitions.
