    I'd imagine our search for candidates on the playing side are as widespread as our search for candidates on the managerial side were.

    Would really hope it is a bit more.Think they knew who they wanted in as a manager if they were right or wrong time will tell but really hope they have scouts out there looking at players may not be easy to find players that will better us in our budget and persuade players that can to come but really hope they are trying or we are what some people seem to think on here a basket case of a club.

    It's not that I don't approve of their age, more is this really the best we can get? Really? Two guys at the end of their careers who aren't going to get any better or earn us any money in the future? Having the massive recruitment team that we have, who according to the manager, spend 18 months tracking players, these two are the best they can find? Nah, no chance. Sorry.

    Really don't know who they have been tracking for 18 months know you don't think its ur job or any one on heres job to name players we should be signing so guessing it is the people who are doing that job and signing the players you are not happy with how they are doing their job but you think they are doing a pish job.I would love us to be signing brilliant players every other day but doubt that will happen know people on here expect great signings even though no one will mention who they want us to sign as it is not their job they just kind of want to say whoever we sign is not a good signing and they want better.

    never mind brilliant or great signings, id be happy with a couple of decent ones to improve on some of the absolute p1 sh we have in midfield. The fact we attempt to play Clark there shows how bad our current options are

    unfortunately, no agents have phoned me to let me know about their clients availability nor am i on the pay role of a professional football team specifically to find these targets. Its pointless suggesting players when you don't know their availability or can enquire about it. How many times have we heard about Asghars great connections? They are so great they cant find us someone to play in midfield instead of Clark?

    Youre talking like we're paying peanuts and can't attract any players Brian. We aren't. There's far more teams paying less than us who are signing players. And abused? Really? 😂

    Bang on! It started with Reynolds and hasn't stopped since.
