Regarding transfers
Don't quote me Reeve but the bit i heard 2-3 hrs ago he inferred that talks with Cranie /Keogh previously had'nt really carried any weight due to the embargo or setting of budget from Sisu so now the "Real", talking can happen.What did he say lads? Live in oxford can't get it here
He tends to. Due to his predecessors (Especially Ken), I don't think he gets a fair shout. I still reserve my judgement. I think, unlike Ken, heHe sounds very sensible to me.
<br />Expect first signings in the next few weeks. <br />
<br />
Two teams in the play offs last year, one had a wage budget of £1.4m, another over £4m, ours is nearer the £4m.<br />
<br />
Trying to reduce costs in other parts of the club to allow funds for playing side.
<br />
<br />
Honestly, what a load of sh1te.
Extend the early bird till 30th June so fans can make an informed decision and now expect to make signings at some point in July.
Heard the interview, which was almost a Carbon copy of interview last pre season by the board.
I am not giving them anything.
Bang bang bang, er, we expect the 1st signing in the next few weeks.
I await the "symes an Collins were our two main targets" article
<br />That article was in todays telegraph
Ha
Let's face it, they announced an extension of early bird to give fans a choice, and fishers interview almost said there would be no signings in next week or so.
Do tell how you can "make an informed decision" then ?
Nothing has happened except sisu posted some numbers !!
got to give them a chance(I would say a def last one), if no one joins and loads leave we know where we stand! If we wheel and deal and get a better stronger squad within budget then maybe we could be on to something this season!
We need actions, he said within the short coming weeks for transfers btw, mainly because players were on holiday!
Different board to last pre-season with no "characters", egos or "most impressive skillsets"
Save your judgement untill August
Approaching £4m. is that about half of last years ,so allow for loss of Prem /TV money and thats what you get.
Did the presenter say to him
We may have one of the highest wage bill but it will be on few players. We need more players on less money.
Hence when cranie, mcpake, Keogh go, we should be able to replace them with 5 players and still reduce that 4 million and get a little more depth in the squad. With bigi Willis and rod. I would imagine one for one and maybe a slight reduction on the wage bill. But still a reduction. I take it the 4 million did not include fatswood and clingan.
