I don't think Jesus can help?

Dunno, he seems to be helping Man City

All of the top 6 will have a squad of at least 4 strikers we had only 2 sold 1 of them who wasn't replaced. SP may talk about getting only the players he wants but if your budget is restricted that means you can't buy or have to have prolonged negotiations to obtain a player then vital games were played where we had insufficient strikers on the pitch. Also does Coventry represent an attractive proposition to join permanently ?

Would have been better to leave the Embargo in place ,then you could'nt query why having recouped somewhere around £1.5M from Transfer reciepts and the cup run,
£150-£200K. was'nt available to Pressley to bring In Boyd or A N other of his Five options.

Lol
Read my post again very slowly and then your brain maybe able to compute what i really said.

Still not getting your point. If we'd beaten Arsenal Saturday's match would have been off? And?

There is no double cancellation as Northampton and us don't play at home on the same day, so the point about there being two teams at the same ground is fairly irrelevant, both teams are on a similar fixture schedule. Cov are only one game behind many other teams in League 1, it's hardly a backlog.

Can't see how postponements are going to put pressure on CCFC, NTFC or the FL. If something was going to work it would have by now. All the bad publicity for them and continued good publicity for us (march, "why", etc) hasn't worked. Only the suits can sort it out. All postponements will do will put more pressure on the team, increase the chance of injuries and increase the chances of a relegation battle. Wish ill on SISU by all means but not your club.

Correct, only the suits can sort this out. Does anyone seriously believe that all this "bad" publicity is affecting Sisu . I don't think their investors are bothered at all and are probably glad about it. After all the end game will be the Ricoh for next to nothing and then a rapid cash out.

If they were looking after my money to generate a return I would expect nothing less.

There was heavy rain during transfer deadline and the roads were flooded around Sixfields preventing agents and players getting through, the £1.5m is to fund the lost revenue following the move to Northants, SISU did say they would fund it and they have by selling our best player.

Couldn't get the experienced striker but the players we did get he stated had been on his "radar" for some time which suggests that he did want them. I suppose we could argue over it for a while and go round in circles. For me, best to get quality loans than substandard permanent signings.

Nope, he couldn't get the players he wanted, so he has had to loan two more youngsters.

Yeah I agree ,the investors behind the original investment can kiss it goodbye ,the current ones however?

IF anyone has a backlog it's Crawley.

At the risk of going round In circles In battle for the last word ,he had stated he was'nt a fan of the loan market ,and was looking for at least one experienced over youth .

He was also assured In mid November that in January he could recruit ,even prior to LCs departure .

Either he's failed or they've failed him.

But with the Sisu budget all permanent loans will be substandard.

Maybe you have never played football to realize what will happen to a water logged pitch if its played on every few days. Now grounds which have one team the pitch will get 7-10 days to recover.
Not sixfields though increasing the chances for more games to be called off.
Do you understand ?????

 

[torchomatic]

Yes, he did say that. But needs must. He couldn't get the striker he wanted so what does he do? Not get anyone at all or get good quality loans? I think the latter and he said as much himself. We had George Thomas and Ben Maund. Clarke left and Wilson was injured.

And yes he was told he could recruit but he said that he couldn't get the players he wanted in the window.

Permanent loans? Are the loans we have substandard then? Was McGoldrick? Was Clarke substandard when we signed him? Or Blair Adams?

I agree. Also best to get ANY loan rather than play Jordan Clarke up front

Sorry Torch grammar was all over the place, what I meant was with the funds made available by SISU all potential acquisitions will be considered poor quality when compared to Clarke or Wilson. SP's radar is influenced by his budget. Don't think we have a problem attracting quality loans do think whilst in Northants we will struggle to get quality permanent signings - Webster & Seabourne are reasonable I doubt the Fonz or Dylan will join us despite not really being wanted by their own clubs there are better options in this league alone.

Shame it didn't rain, would havr saved the glorious loyal sixfielders watching a defeat to the mighty Carlisle, at least the atmosphere was good amongst the Carlisle fans.
