    I don’t know what goes on behind scenes so I’m guessing we can’t/won’t complete because the price tags on players can be ridiculous and we won’t pay ridiculous money for the amount of players we probably want/need or we’d go bankrupt

    So I think that’s a fence 😉😂

    I saw this on a Whatsapp. From some person who goes by the name of moods.Apparently he is a guest of a regular sponsor and works in the public sector. When things like this post goes out on social media it will attract the negative response. Methinks these are the people that suck on the club and take great delight to shout about people that provide the club with a ***** source of income should have a concious.

    "TS does like the red wine and it’s well known he would give Warne a *******ing when he’d been on the ale.
    He’s left NYS many a time escorted down the stairs having had a few too many.
    When Taylor had a call from TS after a defeat, Taylor has stood up to him and said you don’t talk to me like that……Ron Hull has got a bit of cash, or the guy that’s owns AESEAL has got plenty, sure they could sort it between them."

    Another post popped up from this moods chap whoever he is.

    "My other concern is that his son is no where to be seen on match days.

    When he is he doesn’t sit in the seats with his dad which as vice chairman I would expect him to be there.

    TS wasn’t at Huddersfield the other night. No Directors there representing the club.

    Paul Douglas rocked up 5 mins before kick off with Rob Scott.

    Also Hamshaw and Warrington were in attendance also in the Directors box clearly looking at someone."

    Well reading Paul Davies report on transfer targets, it is my opinion they haven’t got a clue. Focus on wide men and midfielders??????

    They have two wide men, one playing as a striker.

    Surely a striker and defender are priorities?

    I’m with you Crash but I don’t want to be lied to again and again so Tony can keep his gob shut and let his actions speak.

    Hopefully that’s a smokescreen

    Would we do that? Let alone pay that type of money?
    I'm sure I read we've been scouting in Belgium, Holland, Croatia and non league for potential new players.
    I know that pre Covid Rob Scott was due to fly out to Germany to scout players in 5 games whilst there.
    Be interesting to know who they were and where they ended up. Lots of teams have brought players in from abroad and its worked out well for them. There are some good players out there and in our price bracket.

    The wide player that's been playing striker could well be on his way out.
    We've lost two midfielder recently, one wanted to go back to his parent club and the other a long term injury. Barlaser could also be on his way and will need replacing. There's still a possibility BNC could be recalled so in that respect definitely a striker and a midfielder or two.
    Get the experience of Grant Hall back asap with Humphreys and McCart.
    Maybe MT knows more than he's letting on as regards players leaving.

    Alternatively sell our best assets and go gung ho on wages for two or three decent loan players that may or may not help to maintain championship status.

    Only problem is these days transfer fees are usually paid in installments rather than cash up front.

    Escorted down Stairs?
    Does lift not work when people have a drink or two?
