Wilder and Board support

[RavBlade]

There's a new guy at the helm who's also a fan and so he should know how ***** it is to get deals over the line. That said, we did good deals in August last year.

My biggest concern being the sceptical git that I am when it comes down to United's boards and owners, is that this'll drag on and we'll also sell Brooks late on wheeling out the 'we tried but it was too late to get them over the line ...' guff. I'm still sceptical of our owners and board, we've been kicked in the goolies to often by them, but as always, I'll hold my hand up if I'm proven wrong or they pull out the stops.

Whichever way you roll it though, the club has had two unexpected windfalls (accepting most likely in stages), and so unless it's down to Wilder protecting his own wage structure, we should be able to compete if players want to come.

I think any frustration Wilder has is just over the time its taking to get these deals done. We know for a fact, as he's said so himself, that he likes to get deals done quickly, if not he moves on. It's just that in these instances he' not moved on, which would indicate a strong desire to get these particular players in.

Easy to bash the directors, when it might just be that deals are dragging on anyhow, players playing one club off against another, that sort of thing. Not like we don't see this stuff every year is it? As for the windfalls, I doubt very much we've had the cheque from Spurs yet. Depending in the terms of the contract it may turn up in several months or in bits. We're guessing, aren't we, like we always do, and probably not getting near the truth of it.

Still, we haven't signed a player this week so can I just add "Boooooo! McCabe ahhhtttt!"

We may not have got the money yet but McCabe has history of spending money against guaranteed income (West Ham money) so that shouldn't be an obstacle
