Yes im fully aware they need to assemble a squad but we are 4 months from kick off so some of you really do need to cut them some slack. At least we have  a coach.
Would imagine they have been looking but until they got decisions from Rufer and Singh they couldnt nail down just what type of player they needed or what they had to spend. For me a real buggar it looks like we will lose both of the young players who were judged by some to be the next big things.
Personally i would be very surprised if Welnix will want to head into our 20th season by under funding the mens team. The rubbish some post about what they invest shows some just havnt taken the time to find out and prefer to post flat out lies.

 
Yeah and the lot up north still have a decent first XI and are probably finalising their coach in the next week or two (given they have a game against Spurs coming up).

People are probably like this because we have had two bang average seasons in a row, and nothing has really changed besides promoting Greenie to manager (with not really a manager bounce).

Payne, Eze, Oluwayemi, James, Retre leaving, potentially LBS and Rufer, doesn't bode well for optimism. (I know it's every season, but after two bang average ones, its more worrisome).

I know I can post 'bad takes and what not' but I'll gladly let it play out and hope I'm wrong but when you see the rest of the league signing players and making decisions, it can make me a bit cautious of the upcoming season.

A signing we could have tried was Tzanev who just re-signed at Huddersfield to sit on the bench, for example why couldn't we have tried signing him as a non-import GK.
