Should I be grateful for them not doing something wrong. What sort of loser mentality is that??

This has been an indifferent transfer window. No praise or criticism needed.

We have two angles to judge from. Waggot says they had to fend off serious interest etc. I believe him, but many won't. Fair enough.
We also had several none Cov related media outlets reporting interest/enquiries on Clarke, Wilson & Christie. With a reported 500k turned down for Christie.

I'd say its obvious there was bids & they were flat refused. I'm pleased this young side remains in tact. Credit to Pressley, Waggot & , dare I say it, Sisu for allowing that to happen.

i put my car up for sale.. and i had a few calls about it & lots of interest.. but no one actually came round to see it, or put an offer in, so i stood strong & decided not to sell

we had one 'rumored' 300k bid from sheffield .. which would have been easy to turn down.. sheffield were most likely just testing us to see if they could get a real bargain because we were skint ( if they even made that offer ).... yes we had a few people watching our young players, but clubs watch young players all the time, and im pretty sure they oooked at them & thought " hey these guys have potential, lets keep an eye on them over the next year or so & see if it continues". Like i say "Interest" does not equal 'Bids" and its pretty easy to not sell your players , if you dont actually get any bids for them!

Which was reported as being only 300k. We all know that if they had put a proper bid in for Christie he would have gone. Did SISU expect them to put a proper bid in after that one was turned down?

Will you two get a damn room!!

Yes we know that CCFC are playing in Northampton and that's not excusable, however there were many on this forum yesterday expecting SISU to sell the likes of Christie and Wilson just for the cash, this hasn't happened which means they're backing the manager. Maybe now we should show our support to the manager and his team as well.

We will return home..

Don't expect us to praise them too much.

Bringing us home is top priority for most of us. It would feel like our club again. Yet you think we should forget about it and not mention anything about it.

No? Didn't think so.

I expect a management team to keep the team together, that's a given.
However where are the centre backs we require?
Whilst every other team in the league is looking to improve, we are happy that we stay where we are :facepalm:

show me one post where I've sucked up to sisu, everyone knows what the priority is, on the other hand it was a pleasant surprise that none of our better players were sold yesterday.

Playing home games in Northampton, piss poor suicidal revenue streams, alienation of 92% of supporters, disenfranchisement of the younger generation of City fans, no club shop to speak of, no new kit or sponsors, still a threadbare squad of mainly young players.....................Give credit to SISU, I don't think so.

Some credit maybe to SP though for keeping things together on the pitch in the most horrendous of circumstances !!

Everyone knows that £500K for Christie isn't enough, had they of bid £1Mil then SISU's blood pressure might have risen.

Lets just hope we can negotiate new deals for the likes of Moussa, Christie and Wilson.

Why should we?

Don't forget at forums our mate Timmy did say they would be prepared to pump in however much money it took to get us this move to the new stadium.
Surely this would include keeping our best players

They didn't sell 'cos the cash cow players ain't fat enough yet - whilst I would agree the offers as reported weren't good enough I just reckon SISU believe we might have another Bale in the making and one fine day we will get £100 Million for one of our youngsters and all will be rosy in the garden....

More likely they will over value anyone with any kind of potential just like they will the value of the basket-case of a club they sadly preside over

SISU deserve a tiny bit of credit for what they've done but it's completely insignificant to the harm they've caused the club.

The answer is no! Why?
The bids yesterday were under market value for the players. For a start Sheff Utd don't have much money at all, so there bids were probably unacceptable.
You only have to look at the ridiculous prices being spent yesterday, to realize they would of been sold if the bids were at market value!!
