Gutted. Promising signs though...

Obviously there are a few that still trust the board and fair play to them, but I think it is fair to say that a large section of the fan base have lost faith and my concern is that a few bad results at the start of the season could lead to the discontent spreading and becoming more vocal. So my question is what do they need to do to regain this trust or is it beyond repair for some fans? For me, I have no delusions of grandeur this season (or any to be honest - we're a provincial club with a limited fanbase), and 2-3 more signings will allow us to be competitive in this league, and that's enough for me. Am I accepting mediocrity? Maybe, but to me as long as I can go to the games with my Dad and brother, meet up with our mates, have a great day get a bit drunk and give most teams a good game then I'm happy.

Sorry rubbish at tapatalk please merge

We're not going to see anything because you haven't said anything of substance! You've basically said thing are going bad- to be honest anyone could have said that. If you know that something really rotten is happening in the club and what the end game is why not have the decency to tell your fellow supporters?

Since when do you have to back up options on an Internet forum with hard cash? Did you put 50 quid down when you had your meeting with RK and assured everyone we were in save hands? Or maybe that was all hot air as well because he liked your book.

Just fukcing tell us what you know?

You keep repeating this so if it is true I think you need to provide some insight to the validity of your source. So far all I see are the ramblings of a nutter who has the serail-killer tendency to capitalise random words.

I'm unsure if his opinions are actually what he is thinking, or if he is trying to reinvent his forum persona as a hard hitting, I take no sh!t, n0bhead.

Maybe an unwillingness to break the wage structure we have in place (i.e. not that there isn't capacity more that there is not the inclination to brak a structure we have in place)?

Sorry hypo corrected me, it was Guan.

I think Monk said it was intentional to scale back his involvement.

Okay fair enough if that is the case as I have no idea how the players are feeling.

Deary me.

Um not quite sure who's embarrassed by musings on a message board.... so you think it's a fire sale to line Kat's pockets then. The players want to leave because really top teams want them. It's really that simple.

As stated by S-Clarke promising players Champs League when it was highly improbable. I ask you a question, if he thought he could do it with out sizeable investment where is he now? He jumped ship at exactly the right time.

What does that even mean.. gain advantages where we can? Put itching powder in the opposition shorts, get fit female fans to get their baps out to distract opponents?

Would want a LB and another Striker ahead of another CB personally. Yep Jos is a liability but still think Yoshida can do a job, and if your two main CBs get injured you'd expect that your 4th choice would be suspect. I'm still hoping that Chambers gets coached into the position as I think he has the right attributes.

Cheers. Yep first time I've heard one of our managers discuss the cost of a player for quite a while which is why I questioned its authenticity!

Probably right there, but other priorities ahead I think.

Indeed. There was someone making promises based on spending money that wasn't available (or wasn't being made available in any case). To sone degree I can understand the players. If someone employed me and made promises that were built on fantasy I would be a bit peeved tbh.

Can't be bothered to read through but what is the quality like for those who have purchased?
