Not that it means anything because they only have 3 teams listed so far, West Ham being the other team on 5/1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4263 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 sigh, assuming there is any grain of truth to this then I'm going to lump hughton in with ash and llambarse will they never fucking learn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4003 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Nothing new in this (see the interview in the Chronicle) Its basically the same old there will be signings, not loads and bigging up the nucleus of the squad that got us up. He's not going to start pissing on chips now is he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Part of the ongoing bid to lower expectations tbh. Nail/heed. Dampening down any summer daydreaming before this season has even finished. Classic ashley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoog 0 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Club up for sale 5 minutes after the final whistle of the season and what a surprise, no summer signings apart from any half arsed freebies going... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 That's why CH won't be replaced the lickspittle that he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 9221 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I don't think "many" signings would be great for this squad. Our biggest asset has been our cohesion and many new faces could impact upon that. A few signings in key areas that strengthen our squad could well be better for the club than wholesale changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock Manson 0 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Crying out for a proven prem midfielder. Worth a cheeky bid for Carrick given he's not in favour with old red nose at present? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem Child 0 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 If there aren't going to be many signings then they'd need to be top quality signings. That’s not going to happen is it? We’ll be scouting for players at clubs facing administration and footballers nearing the end of their contract who think £15k a week is top whack.

Sonatine 10139 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 Could be a repeat of this season. Spend as little as possible during the summer, then spend a bit more during January if needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spend as little as possible during the summer, then spend a bit more during January if needed But this has been such a great season! Has it? Is our lowest finishing position in nearly twenty years really great? We’ve won a lot of games with the highest paid squad in second division history, but it’ll be very different next season. Repeating this year’s transfer strategy could see us fighting an uphill battle with a team whose confidence has been wrecked by the time the January transfer window opens.

Ketsbaia 0 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 We could manage with four or five new faces. As long as we get a right back, centre back, centre mid and striker(s) I think we'll have a squad capable of finishing outside the bottom three.

That was definitely sarcasm. I'll throw in the safety wink next time. Rest assured that I despair at Fat Mike's "business plan" for our club and doubt we will survive without significant investment in the summer. 20mil at the least.
