Done deal.
Attachment 25588
I can't even be optimistic, I now think what the point.
We are going down, why are we giving Premier game time to someone else's player, and paying for the privilege?
Should have bought a player with next season in mind or recalled Costello, give him the game time.
Season is done, what's the point?
We had a game changer on the field ,I could hear the sigh of relief from Luton over here in MN when we took him off.
Just one loan ranger in and tick tock goes the clock in the January transfer window, same as it ever was indeed. Dyche gone, Garlick gone, John B gone, mais plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
We were told that our 10 bob millionaire owners couldn't compete financially in the PL and would sell the club to serious investors. Well they sold the club alright but our new owners don't have a pot to piss in and now a Luxembourg based finance company have a charge on Turf Moor and Gawthorpe as our 'investor owners' scrabble around the financial world doing loan deal after loan deal, but not for players, but to keep the club afloat presumably.
There are two aspects of any football club, the more public playing side, results, performances, players, manager, tactics, team selections etc. and the more opaque financial side. While most fans concern themselves and worry about the former, it's the latter that worries me, here we are in January, heading for relegation at a rate of knots, Turf Moor and Gawthorpe have just been re-mortgaged and there is no money to strengthen the squad. Haven't we been here before, wasn't selling the club supposed to resolve this sort of issue ? It looks more and more to me like we have been right royally shafted and the prospect of it all ending in tears is growing more and more likely by the month.
VK has already said we cannot afford to spend the sort of money "EPL Ready" players cost.
It now seems obvious that the gamble was that players brought in at the last window when over £100 million was spent would be enough to help us maintain a credible EPL challenge.
If I was in Alan Pace's shoes I would lock the Dry Powder Store door too mon ami.
In reality we need another left back pretty urgently, the rest can wait until July when we will know exactly what our financial situation is.
Sift through this lot...
