I cannot figure out if these short term deals are a good or bad thing for us. They could point to a serious long term cash flow problem, or it could be clever in that we'll have more to spend if we do go up as less players will be on the books.

Hopefully, it's the latter and dowling and Co can sign the required quality if we go up or if we stay down.

All these free signings way after the closing of the window smacks of very bad preparation given we knew of relegation a long time before it was confirmed.
The issue as I see it BB, is that most players see themselves as Premier league players now even if their club gets relegated. Which means it is even harder to sign a decent player if you have just been relegated....They are all just so fantastic now....they really cant be bothered dropping down a league unless some would rather just play football and go out on loan....But many would rather pick up a nice wage and stay in the reserves or even further down the pecking order...
I think the short term loan dels are the natural way forward......for football..
