Agreed, but it's a reflection on the resources TM has at his disposal and we are in a weaker position than some of our rivals.

I know it looks bad and it is easy to blame the owners, but there is also the possibility that TM has been TRYING to recruit but deals are falling through due to players being nabbed by someone else, or the player unable to agree terms.
We are not in a position to know what has gone on behind the scenes.
If we were trying to get Wilson and it did look promising, but now it has fallen through due to someone offering more, we can hardly blame Sisu for that.
I know on the surface it looks really poor, but we have no idea how frustrating it has been for TM in trying to recruit and bring players in.

Spending money you don't have is exactly how you go into administration yet some Cov fans are still insistent that we do it
We've got 11 players you clownReally? you see nobody to blame for us being unable to field 11 players with on 5 days to go before the season starts...think harder:banghead::banghead::banghead:
I don't mind bringing my boots for a game... I'll play for free so TM has some more wages to play withWe've got 11 players you clown
Didn't we sign somebody from Swindon last week Fabien Robert

Maybe we should be signing him right now and then be training him to play centre back ready for Saturday.I think Mowbray is supposed to be telling Robert his fate sometime this week
Of course we will be weaker than teams like Sheffield United.
It is part of being a football manager isn't it? Every manager works to a budget, especially in the lower leagues.
There was a professor of sports business from Salford Business School on BBC CWR this morning, who said that due to the restrictions of lower league clubs shelling out more than 60% of their income on wages, and we have no income from stadium revenue, we are mid-table in terms of salary budgets. That's why no one wants to come ...
Personally, I'd be a lot happier with two Aaron Martin's in centre back than one expensive injury risk from the Championship.
selling Vinelot and Maddison suggest we are not spending money we do have....Spending money you don't have is exactly how you go into administration yet some Cov fans are still insistent that we do it
You always imply that people have unrealistic expectations around recruitmentThen it's the job of the manager to get the best team out of the budget. If he thinks he can sell a player and improve with that money / wage then they do that.
People act like it is football manager with an unlimited money cheat or something or think TM is the only manager who has to work within a budget in the football league.

and wages, when I don't think they do, people would just be happy for the club
To be in a position to compete.

If he wants to continue playing the formation he had been playing
I can only see this as the starting 11 as it stands
Any other ideas if this is the formation?
Considering the fee was suppose to of been agreed in January, then surely we used last seasons budget for that purchase? Surely some of Maddsions money covered that so TM had a fresh budget for this season?Yes, apart from when we bought Jones...
Judging by players signed, teams like Oldham and Fleetwodd have a better budget to ours... so far.Because some don't the way they go on as if we are the only team in League 1 to have a budget and TM is the only manager to have to work within a budget.
Can people not see why Sheffield United would be able to pay Fleck a lot more than we can?

Not at all, but he's frustrated for a reason, and we all know why, because his budget is massively reduced from last season.Why? Because they have signed a few free transfers and loans?
Is there where we prefer Mowbray to do a Pressley and go out and get numbers in, none of which are any good?
Its the centre half position that is really bothering me, we could do with a couple.

You would say that having a decent centre half or two has been a necessity for some time, even going back to last season, yet we are still threadbare in that department.
If, heaven forbid, we get off to a really bad start it isn't going to make recruitment of even loan players any easier
