Have We Signed Anyone Yet?

Everything you post on here you've said before.

Apart from the first time he said it

Forget cole stockton ny the way shrimper fans saying hes off to fleetwood. Theres summat about this guy the higher clubs dont like. If they did hed have gone ages ago. Personally i think hes worth a punt for us but i dont know about the reasons clubs are put off. Doesnt sound a greedy player or a non team player. Can only assume he has health issues tho he has played a lot of games for morecambe.

Just out of interest Gru - can you name a successful club who have had a continually revolving door of managers and backroom staff?

Only bothered about millers. Don't follow other clubs. Just if it's not going right whose accountable?

[CHAPELMILLER]

So you think we should have paid £18k per week for a loan player who didn't really seem to want to come here anyway. Wow 🤔

No I'm not saying that Mellow. What I'm saying is Warne has admitted we've lost out to nearly all our number one targets. That to me shows a complete lack of ambition.
You may be happy listening to TS and his stuck record season upon season but I'm sick of it.
Our problem is we let our best players contracts run down so they walk away for nothing. The plan of sign them for peanuts sell them for profit never works out fir us. The negotiators are terrible at their jobs and the chairman could peel an orange in his pocket.
Carry on wearing your rose tinted spectacles and applauding a chairman that has the same hold over the football club as Mr Booth.

Either inaccurate or a flat out lie to suit an agenda. I suspect you know which one I think it is on your part.

Kioso was the number 1 target for RWB
Bramall was the number 1 target for LWB
Humphreys Grant was a very high on the target list too.
I don't know about some others. I suspect Hall was pretty close to the top of the desired list. And Peltier too, come to think of it.

We have struggled to recruit strikers. Really struggled. Yes.

But if you honestly think any club gets practically all their number 1 targets you are absolutely deluded. Hardly any club does. Man City lost out on Cucurella and they have all the money you could ask for. He was a number 1 target.

It will never ever ever ever ever happen with TS or any other Chairman. Stop putting unbelievably unreasonable demands on people.

I stand by my comment from the other day. TS is a charlatan. He has no intention of backing the manager to give us an outside chance. This will be proven again in January when we are holding our own but just need a few extra bodies to keep us up. Time for TS to cut the BS and give Warne the tools to complete the job.
This is the second loan player who has agreed to come here only for us to be gazumped due to the percentage of wages we will pay. Smallbone the lad who went to Stoke was in the building and because they agreed to pay more to Southampton off they went back down the M1. I get it's his trains set but I think it's time to let someone else help him to play with it correctly.

We’ve played one league game. I cannot believe your comments. Do you understand how a business works?

Yes I do fella. I run my own very successful business thank you. Speculate to accumulate. Without ambition businesses fold. Without outside investment to take businesses to the next level they die.
Have you ever stopped to think why the Bawtry Road training ground never got developed? Prime building land that's why.

Can you tell us what your very successful business is ? So we can maybe call on your services ?

[MillersTime]

Add Washington to the list actually. He was clearly a top priority.

I didn't say I was happy listening to TS saying pretty much the same thing every season and I'm certainly not looking at this through rose tinted glasses.
Personally I think we should have walked away from this loan deal as soon as the player asked for more time in the hope of securing something better. Also a salary of £18k per week is miles away from our capabilities and even a significant percentage of that would probably have put him on far more than our highest earner.
What I'm struggling with is why people expect TS to plough more of his money into a club that struggles to sell even 7500 season tickets. You say you're a successful business man so would you do that if you were chairman?
Also, how do you attract realistic long-term investment when the club is so poorly supported and, let's face it, in a sh*t hole of a town?
Perhaps the people who routinely criticise TS need a healthy dose of realism and to be careful what they wish for.
