    Willock signing-if he does-doesn't improve the squad, it merely keeps the first team at the level it was last season. If we were doing things properly, we'd have bought new players to iprove the first team-like a striker on a level with Wilson and a creative midfielder who could go straight in and a right back. Those are bare minimum signings and Willock would have been a very nice bonus. Plus, we would have bought a couple of players for the squad.

    What I've just written isn't even a ridiculous suggestion for a normal club. If you stand still you effectively go backwards given that everybody else has made attempts to improve so it's no wonder that the prospect of making a loan signing permanent isn't exactly a cause for huge celebration on here.

    I know you like to complain about our complaining-and that's fair enough-but you've got to understand how cathartic it is. Gallows humour, sacrcasm and downright cynicism are just about the only things we've got. Think of it as tensing your stomach before somebody punches you in it.

    It helps us prepare for the inevitable shite that lies ahead.

    Ashley is stepping down from all his business. He will sell the club when can. I understand that at this point hes not gonna spend anything. Hopefully team stays up and takeover will be completed. At this point is futile to think that the situation is normal and club will spend something. Earlier years it was different but this time I understand the situation.

    And thank you for the new word - cathartic. Had the check the translator 😎

    Moaning is the only sort of pleasure we've had this last decade or so.

    If you can see positives in how Bruce, Charnley and Ashley are running this club you've probably lost your marbles or got a screw loose or something
