Some bloke on twitter that claims to know Boddy and Tynan Scope saying we're getting 2 more loans in thats it due to budget. Claims this is directly from Tynan and Boddy.

If that's the case then basically we've been mugged clean off as supporters.

We've spent nowhere near what we did last summer and apparently have a bigger budget . Also 10k season ticket holders that we didnt have last year.

I wasnt expecting much but if its true its more piss poor than usual

Do you not see the irony of you taking the words of a bellend on twitter as gospel (because it fits your agenda) when you yourself as a bellend on twitter made something up about a transfer and laughed about the fact someone believed it

Loads of crap european signings 1/2 out of 4 - Kasta, Jobello, Hillsner & DaCosta. DaCosta gets a half. That geographical area was touted as being Badlan'sarea of expertise. It was almost certainly his project. 4 slots in the squad tied up. We would have been better with a couple of old pros from League 1.

Two of those were clearly not up to snuff.

But City under Robins and Boddy (esp Robins) have been a tight ship with regards gossip.

Surely you have to balance that against the fact we haven’t got any money to spend

Kasta and Jobello were both bought in league 1 and were perfectly capable at that level. Hilsner had undetected asthma. We have no money and are taking gambles to hope some pay off.

Kastaneer was rubbish in L1 Jobello at best average and Hillsner was never good enough

Agreed. None of them good enough. Only doubt with hillsner is we’ve not seen him play. That he couldn’t get into the Oldham side is probably a good enough indicator for me.

All you've done is point out his bad signings. How about the good ones?

That's like saying Matt Godden's goalscoring record is shit if you take out the goals he's scored.

Unfair to blame one man ,from everything I've read and heard it's a team effort of scouting,coaches and biggest say is the manager based on all the above depending on budget.

Should we be concerned that there are no rumours currently or is it likely a symptom of squads and staff being in different locations not allowing any gossip to leak out?

I’d imagine being in Spain has put a stop on things for the time being. Not to say there’s not something going on behind the scenes, we’ve had a few last few years that have come from nowhere.

What is it with slagging Badland I don’t get it not sure how long he’s been here but we have improved as a team every season for the last four years and I would say all in all our player recruitment but for one or two has been okay, don’t know how many Badland scouted I’d think most and remember he is working with a pathetically low budget too.

I think so. Suspect some of the ITK accounts have a lose link to the club, maybe minor staff member that hears murmurs and most the of squad and staff are away in Spain atm. We haven’t had a signing out of the blue yet really and like you say there’s usually one or two.

Edit. Just saw Riyadhs post. Must have missed that.
