    Hoodwinked?

    After the takeover announcement, our chairman assured us that signings would be made BEFORE the takeover was ratified and the wage budget would be increased.

    Our head coach has said he doesn't know his budget and seems unable to even re-sign players.

    there'll be plenty of others wanting to have a pop at us without any infighting...

    Something's definitely not right about this 'takeover'.

    Pretty sure that you can't make signings until the takeover is finalised, It's pretty much the same for any business.


    hmmm don't know how much the original poster knows about 'our club' ray. You could even say he's trying to impersonate a certain user of this site...

    The buying party would typically loan the finances to the current owner with instructions of how to invest and then obviously take over the debt when the takeover is completed.


    Whatever the reasoning Mandaric's lack of ensuring a team fit for purpose this close to the start of the season is incredibly reckless and irresponsible. At this point in time he couldn't care less about Wednesday other than to make that big fat profit he's been chasing.

    football's football these days, not like it use to be...if you aren't satisfied with how it's going ...try to do something about it...pester your MP.

    unlikely to get anywhere, but spouting and constant whining won't make a blind bit of difference either.

    it's never going to go back is it...

    13 days ago the chairman said that signings would be made before.

    Yesterday the head coach said he needed a green light before any signings.


    Who is kidding who?

    It will be sorted "one way or the other" by next week:

    Sounds like the hold-up is at the Azerbaijan end.

    I wouldn't lose sleep over it chaps.

    I can't say I saw anything about our chairman saying that signings would made before - I wouldn't expect him to sign players either.

    I think it's extremely unlikely that while waiting for the FA to ratify a takeover, a club can go out and start spending the new owners cash.
