If the Chairman is to be believed, and why wouldn’t he be, then we have lots to look forward to this week. With 8-10 signings required to replace the 17 departed and the squad to be in place by the end of May you’d think we’d be averaging 2 signings a day. Can’t wait to see the quality which will surely signal our ambition for next season.

May 24, 2021 at 2:16 pm #207562“Cox is in charge.” One of the funniest things I’ve heard for a while!

May 24, 2021 at 2:38 pm #207563And Iron-awe thought I believed it was April 1st!!!
May 24, 2021 at 3:03 pm #207564Not a chance, and if the did sign anybody they will probably name and parade them in July wearing the new shirts.

May 24, 2021 at 4:58 pm #207567Is this why UTI99 is quiet? Dad’s told him to pull his finger out?

May 24, 2021 at 5:27 pm #207569I have a feeling that the ‘new signings by end of May’ will go the same way as the promise of entertaining football, played in a new stadium, at the Championship level.

he might even be Dad?
May 24, 2021 at 6:08 pm #207571oooooh,yes, let’s all believe Swann, and that fairies live behind my shed, and there wont be any more lockdowns….
Actually…no.
I would no longer believe Swann if he told me today was Monday unless I checked first.
Too many so called “broken promises” to even start and list.

Maybe so
May 24, 2021 at 7:43 pm #207580If we don’t have the new signings in place it will no doubt be the fault of Covid. Probably the Indian variant the he wasn’t expecting at the time of the last interview.

New shirts in July? – now that would be a bonus!
May 24, 2021 at 8:19 pm #207584Announced but not on sale.

Maybe we will sign a glut of Asian players in July and the Prawn will announce they all agreed to join in May but we held off till we were certain they were all clear of the Indian Covid variant. Now that’s a PR goer, better double check with Buck’s though.

No Mike, Awaywego99 is dad, UTI99 is the son for certain, and every post by any one of them is always given a THANKS from the other, just like clockwork, if I am wrong, “they could both be the same person”.

Topics: 11Do any of you actually listen to interviews? Cox has already stated that it won’t be happening, which was pretty obvious despite what Swann said.
Cox is the boss.
May 25, 2021 at 10:23 am #207599D’ya reckon?
We all know what happened to the last manager who thought he made the decisions on transfers.

So you suspect a return to the bad old days do you? We sign players in July when those available have been picked over and we are left to chose from those that nobody else wants. We’ve been there several times.

May 25, 2021 at 10:38 am #207601Well alot on here seem to think we’re making many signings this week on the back of what Swanny has said, I think you will be proved wrong, and it will be Cox who gets his way.
May 25, 2021 at 12:56 pm #207609So, if we do not get early Swan signings we’ll get better later signings from Cox.
Hmm.
Does this actually mean that Cox is having to pick through the leftovers rather than anyone else doing so?1 user thanked author for this post.
May 25, 2021 at 1:24 pm #207610Whatever is done either way you will pull it to piece’s,lol.
May 25, 2021 at 2:28 pm #207611Exciting week ahead for Joey Dawson and hopefully an exciting future in the game for him, I really hope the news report on Iron-bru is right and he does sign for Celtic this week. He will fit in nicely there with his ginger hair and after all, why settle for mince when you can have steak. Good luck Joey lad hope it works out for ya.
May 25, 2021 at 2:55 pm #207612Speculation.
Chairman to supporters – ” Next seasons squad will be in place by the end of May”
Chairman to manager – ” We’ll leave the signings as late as possible when players will have lowered their salary expectations. I’ll get the best I can from what’s left, leave it to me and Will”1 user thanked author for this post.

I don’t give a tuppenny toss who’s right or wrong, or who gets their own way.
I just want to see a half-decent, balanced squad in place. One that can win us a few games, and get us looking at the top half of the table instead of the bottom.
If it’s in place by the time the players return for pre-season training then great.
What we don’t want is Cox realising he doesn’t have an experienced keeper or a proper captain in early August.
May 25, 2021 at 6:57 pm #207619He’s got a experienced keeper NI, shame he’s not up to it though, chairman said he would be our goalie last year,but Cox deemed otherwise after giving him 7 games, can’t imagine he’s changed his mind.
May 25, 2021 at 7:22 pm #207620Use the money to pay up Turan and Jarvis. I just hope we don’t replace them with more crap.

Racist!
Don’t you know we must now refer to it as the April 02 variant?
May 25, 2021 at 7:55 pm #207626chairman said he would be our goalie last year,but Cox deemed otherwise after giving him 7 games,
And there we have it in a nutshell.
Chairman says one thing. Manager says/thinks another.
