From now to the end of This Transfer Window :

Their will be NO paying of any fees and We will only be bringing in Loan players if we can agree on the wages.


Krystian Bielik, We did not pay for him, 100% We did not, WBA wanted him gone.
We did however give him a good signing on fee and a contract for 3yrs in total worth over £2mill.


Jack Moylan from Lincoln: Moylan activated a £2mill clause release.
We pay £1mill this year and £1mill next year.

Transfer Window Closes this coming Tuesday 11pm


Loans is the best we can do now.

BBM is Desperately looking for more 3 players.

A full-back as well as winger plus a Striker.

BBM is working very very hard but his hands are tied as there is NO Money.

Don't necessarily needs funds to add quality and I doubt this is new information for BBM.

He knows he can get the quality he needs without spending loads.

Never expected us to spend loads of money anyway.

A striker and a winger and I'll be pleased.

So the Peterborough striker is aother Norwegian not coming

Hardly a bombshell but is it that bad? Our 2 sighnings 3 if include trott are just what we wanted and cant say they're that bad?
Now it depends on who can bring in on loan? get in the right players and once again transfer window will turn out ok! Thanks to bbm

Why are we not buying ? loans only his budget must have been the lowest in this division

5 million for an unproven div one striker thank god we have learned our lesson
E oin Doyle and madine spring to mind.

Monty suggest its Lower than div 1 probably? but at moment we've doing ok with the 3 who we got in.......but we do need same calibre on loan ...... its not about the money its about the calibre of players we bring in.... but its obvious tan or maybe his family doesn't want him to spend much money the total cost is about 5m plus whatever loans cost is miniscule in the championship nowadays

Gary madine never scored a goal for us this young lad knows where the net is.

So is 5 million the big backing from our owner? not in my book.

No monty I think its ridiculous amount to spend if your wanting to challenge league proper...... i think problem is bbm hes so use to dealing with youngsters hes missing players that could get us challenging top 8 ..... can't believe tan told him you've got 6m to spend or if he did bbm as agreed by saying ok boss the youngsters will be ok go with them? Nice as it is to get academy players in team the name of game is promotion and that needs bit money more than 6m thats for sure? But it is what it is and let's hope bbm gets decent and players in otherwise as I said previously the seasons over before it starts

Eoin Doyle scored loads in lower leagues, couldn't do it in Championship.

This window has been a shitshow from the start, not by the board but by some fans. They've been demanding us to spend money that was never likely.

People just want a stick to beat Tan with. I've said it before but if people get outraged about everything then it means nothing when there actually is something to be outraged about.

Totally agree and the club have not cashed in on any of our young players so far either. Lawlor not off anywhere

I know people are pissed we haven't got more players in id like 3 more but the fact weve held on to all our best youngsters like lawlor rubin Robertson salech etc has to be seen as a huge plus point

It's a strange one spending 5m is laughable if looking to be top 8 but at moment things look ok just depends on loans what we dont need is inexperienced youngsters out to prove a point in a league like championship its easier in premier league for them ...

So your not having a pint with me tomorrow then.

4 days left to see the quality we've all been waiting for. Slow and steady wins the race I suppose...although I wonder how many we'll have to give back (along with Scanlon) next May.

Roll on 11.01pm on Tuesday, exciting times!

1000% agree with what you're saying here. The goalposts keep getting moved, and no matter what happens this place is in crisis. We wanted quality this window up until today and once we got close to achieving that suddenly it's all about how much we are spending and how our managers' hands are tied. In all honesty I absolutely hated the dictator but I'm genuinly becoming more and more sympathetic towards him.

Don't necessarily needs funds to add quality and I doubt this is new information for BBM.

He knows he can get the quality he needs without spending loads.

A striker and a winger and I'll be pleased.

I also never expected us to spend loads of money and am surprised that some thought that we would. That's not the way Tan works. He expects success on a shoestring budget.

Many clubs have spent many millions without success but very very few have been successful by spending very little on improving their squad when entering a higher division.

Surely it's clear to all now that we were never going to pay the figures reported for the Norwegian lad - this sounds more and more like a load of bollocks.

I'm not sure that BBM is that confident any more that he can get the quality he needs - his public comments recently suggest to me a hint of frustration creeping in.

I watched the press conference and have watched every press conference from the start of pre-season. His demeanor is exactly the same as last season so I don't think there are any issues.

It sure does Monty, let's hope BBM and his recruitment team pull it off. I really hope they do...based on what's been said in public, expectation levels have been raised somewhat in prep for this final week.
I was hoping for 1 or 2 more permanent deals tbh as opposed to just loans. Loan deals just big up someone elses asset but let's see.

It's not so much his demeanour as the words he's been saying which I think shows a certain frustration, particularly after the last couple of games.

Like the "Rosey" few have always said plenty of time left yet and you'll see BBM has been backed by the end of the window.

When in truth most knew what was coming before pre season even started because it was obvious although we still go eitherway unlike some they go only for what's on the pitch and what we have spent the glory few I call them. I mean we had two mods on here actually believing we bid 7m for one player who was coming. Hilarious stuff

That’s the second ‘pop’ you’ve had at myself and the other guy of late, Ian. I did note the comment you (embarrassing to yourself) made the other day. I put it down to your own frustrations that people had a different view, but it seems you have an agenda, and that hugely disappoints me!

For the record, I had a usually reliable source for the information I put out, and I put a caveat on each post with some caution that whilst I believed it would happen, might not. Equally, I put out (more than one) message stating that I got that one wrong, that I was very disappointed with my source, and that I would be very careful in the future

Are other so contrite? And what would you have me do?

Not put information received out? Only stick to the confirmed facts? Only put out stuff, if it’s approved by the ‘Negativity Committee’ that seems to have gathered itself of late?

There would certainly be little put on here to read and/or debate!

You’ll have your thoughts/beliefs, and I’ll have mine. That’s how it should be; preferably without resorting to the embarrassing diatribe to which you have (on these two specific occasions) resorted to!

I never mentioned your name. only "Rosey bunch" but if the shoe fits for pops then you pair would be right up there for virtual pops for giving them out I guess

What's with the sneaky digs? Relentless from you!


We've signed arguably 4 starting 11 players. Wintle replacement is here, which has been on repeat since he left. We're very likely to get a loan or two. What the hell do you expect from a club in debt, operating at a loss?

It could always be more; but we haven't had a horrible window.

One person says one thing another says we are not spending money galore or the manager being backed with 2 players over last season and it's called digs on here. Bonkers.

He's not been backed to date for the championship we still need 2 or 3 more minimum for this season to date we have not. Now this isn't a dig or being negative it's what most think if people want to deem such things digs and negative they need to turn their screens off for a break

Disappointing budget to work with at the higher 'Championship' level.
A lot riding on the further progression of our young players along with any loan players we recruit.
If we are top half, no one can complain.
However, if we are lower half, expect the pressure back on the owners and possibly the manager.
