Next two weeks will show us what ambition this club has.

😄… At first I thought my eyes were deceiving me then I re read your post. I think after tomorrow it’s a lot more hours.

I was rather hoping to read ‘anything’ from TS somewhere regarding recruitment be it this season or next but I’ve not heard anything at all from ‘my lad’

Can make you think….. is Tony planning or in the process to sell hence all the silence on everything?

You may as well change it to "This month......" because, if we do actually sign anyone it's likely to be the usual last minute scrabble-fest ☹️

It will be somebody that nobody wants.

Play offs beckons surely 😉

But if they are outperforming their contract, vastly in some instances, and have heard of murmurs about other clubs being interested (for more money), they are highly likely to not be that interested in extending their stay. Play another season, the club will then either be forced to sell so they don't lose out completely or you can run down your deal and secure even more money when signing somewhere else for three.

The incentive to sign isn't there. The fact Viktor did is astonishing and a massive outlier. That shows his respect for the club. If I were him would I of? Probably not, for the reasons stated above.

Barlaser was better than us and knew it.
Chieo likewise.
Wes thinks he is, although pretty meh, can still get more elsewhere.
Smith ran it down and then had full flexibility, he wanted to see where we were come the end of the season if I remember correctly.

We all want to extend our best players at the best time for the best period, but it doesn't happen. That being said, they definitely should try extending the deals of some. Ollie seemed keen, we should be all over that. I agree.

Yes that’s right

Plus we don’t get the level of information the players get or even the grapevine rumours they will hear at “ their workplace”

Rumours of managerial changes, ie sacking or manager moving on would also tempt players to hold back on contract extension.

Volatility doesn’t help
