Was hoping 7 or 8 with a decent clear out.IIRC "club mouthpiece" Wilson was telling us in January that we were after a striker, winger and centre back to boost our relegation fight. The reality of what we ended up with - a sack of guts not good enough for the subs bench - was very different.

harriesss Posted 18 May, 2018 Share Posted 18 May, 2018 Only 3 or 4 players in. Was hoping 7 or 8 with a decent clear out. We probably need 3 or 4 forwards/wingers let alone Cedric and Bertrand replacements. Disappointing yet predictable.

Red Posted 19 May, 2018 Share Posted 19 May, 2018 Only reason we "might" be looking at alternatives is if Hughes is not interested with the terms offered - most probably (and yes IMHO only) not enough say in running first team and transfers. Let's keep Reed and Co. well away from first team affairs, as they have proved truly lacking in that department last season. Can't we f'off Les and Ralph to run the new B team in Europe or China or better still the Moon???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimatt Posted 19 May, 2018 Share Posted 19 May, 2018 I don't care so much about who next seasons manager is. It's the squad that needs an overhaul. Not sure why people are so desperate to lock down someone that got 8 points in 8 games, but it doesn't matter who the manager is with our current players. Investment needed or we're set for another lower half finish at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint in Paradise Posted 19 May, 2018 Share Posted 19 May, 2018 Some of us having been saying for a while Reed is going and Hughes is all but done though Well sorry but I am not totally convinced that Reed will be let go as in that article it says:- "So far, the Gaos have had complete faith in the existing executive team to drive the club’s direction and transfer strategy" Also as for getting the 3 or 4 players in part in that article they seem to have left the words "on the last day of the transfer window and only if they are cheap" bit out.
