[Austin the Shrimper]

So confused?!? We are actively looking for emergency Goalkeeper.. yet we were trying to sign Ted Smith.. and can’t seem to sign any players... nothing makes bloody sense

We won't be paying the loan wages. That's the difference I reckon

That or Emergency loan signings may be permitted under a transfer embargo where a permanent signing wouldn’t be.

Surely Sol has a contact or two who could do him a favour. Or does he?

 

[Oakley1]

sadly I can only see yet another defeat 1-3

and it hurts being beaten but against fat boy Evans makes it even harder to take

lets hope the Blues keep trying and I would love to be proved wrong on this one

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Two players have handed in their notice at their old job to come and work with Sol. They turn up to train at Southend, they turn up to watch the game in the director's box and yet they still aren't our players. It's not about Sol's contacts.

Its irrelevant what sol says. Ultimately he can't do anymore than just put up with the **** show that Ron is running .

It's a complete shambles. Nobody has a clue what is actually going on, worryingly Ronald included in that.

You got it right until that last bit. Ron knows exactly where he stands with the EFL. Ron knows what is going on, but he won't let us or Sol know.

Rephrase. Ron hasn't got a clue how to run the club and is dragging it and us long suffering fans along for a ride that as of yet has no destination.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Can see Akinde doing some damage.

I think Sol knows exactly what’s going on. Hence why he’s so resigned to the Macclesfield lads not signing.

Off the end of the Pier into oblivion i fear?.

The point about contatcts was meant to refer to other managers coaches etc at higher levels who could afford to lend a keeper for free.

No Harry Kyprianou in the selection?

No Harry Kyprianou in the selection?

Probably because the thread starter forgot him! Nothing to stop you including him in your selection on here @fbm. Where there's a will there's a way mate!

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Sales just tipping 5k , 500 Gills, 300 walk ups...tops 6k.
Shame, normally this would've attracted 7.5k easily..

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

No Harry Kyprianou in the selection?

Surely he needs a game for the u23s first?
