My only questions are were this months signings purely chosen by the board based on age, performances, cost and resale value? Has there been contact with an imminent replacement who identified them? Was Harris the one who pushed for them?
I understand there’s a committee for such things, but surely they’d all have different priority targets? We will never find out I suppose, but hopefully they will be in the new managers plans otherwise the money should have been kept aside.

They were low risk signing who our scouting team had obviously looked at. It would’ve made sense to sign them even if Harris was close to the door. The thing is, say we appoint a manager early next week, he’s very little time to assess the squad before having to decide what we need to do in the transfer market. Whichever way you look at it , it was the right decision to give those players a chance. Guess we won’t be signing Simpson now though...he must be thinking wtf

Yes, with the relatively low costs involved, it’s worth the gamble. Plus it brings the age of our squad down slightly and hopefully injects a bit of pace. NG really impressed at RB in his first appearance, so good luck to them both!
