From the Cov Tel's story on Mowbray talking about potentially going in for free agents after the window closes:
"...It’s been really difficult to find the men who want to come (here with) where we are as a club at the moment."
What changed from last season? Should this be worrying for City fans?
But then is Mowbray aiming too high or are City just a completely unattractive landing spot for players with any sense of ambition...I think if we still wanted Henderson, Hunt, Ramage they'd come here.

That's fair. I'm almost certainly overreacting to the accumulated depression around the club. Jones and Turnbull are still quality signings - guess I was hoping we could make similar buys rather than the unproven and unexciting West Brom lad.I'd say jones has plenty of ambition. Many of the players we have will have long careers in the game. He just means we are a league one club and the challenges that come with that.

How do you know he is unexciting? How many minutes are you going to give him? Do you know how long it took Thierry Henry to get going at Arsenal? Didn't have a goal in him at the start.
Don't think he means he's an unexciting player, more an unexciting signing. Same as every single player we've signed this summer! They've all been 'bluh' boring and unexciting! I haven't been excited by a single signing this summer.How do you know he is unexciting? How many minutes are you going to give him?

We're not looked at in the real football world in the grandiose way some of our fans look at us. For instance, a professional footballer would need to at least 30 to have been playing when we were a top flight club!We are an unstable club so not the most attractive, we also have a limited wage budget.
Fans seem to think if you say to a player we want you they just sign. Targets are just lines of enquiry not a done deal. Targets of any worth will have other interested parties. Signing players of quality is hard.
We've signed as many players as we did last summer haven't we?Don't think he means he's an unexciting player, more an unexciting signing. Same as every single player we've signed this summer! They've all been 'bluh' boring and unexciting! I haven't been excited by a single signing this summer.
I was on holiday last week and would normally get onto the WiFi whenever possible to see what's happening at city, see if theres any news! Until I read Saturdays match report I never even knew we had signed bigirimana again. That's how dull this window has been.
Even for a skint league one club we've been awful.

I wonder if it is the academy and Ricoh fiasco is what he is referring to.Every team in the league has a limited wage budget...
It's quality we want rather than quantity. We are spiralling downwards (but within budget ?)We've signed as many players as we did last summer haven't we?
Agyei?Don't think he means he's an unexciting player, more an unexciting signing. Same as every single player we've signed this summer! They've all been 'bluh' boring and unexciting! I haven't been excited by a single signing this summer.

Don't get all this feeling for Mowbray stuff, least pressure I'd say.
Have the players ever not been paid?
All of the scare mongering and outrage is embarrassing.
I am not outraged, just accepting.
I dont see what the payment of the players has to do with anything. Its much more about how much ambition the club has and how much you are willing to pay. We are now a team of youngsters who want to make a name and journeymen.
We have signed two Kids until January, whilst they might be promising they are untried...... two kids until Jan!.....think that says it all about the ambitions from our owners. If they do well then the championship beckons, possibly in Jan, if not they will join a long list......

The budget?I get the feeling that Mogga has lost interest in us/SISU and is ready to call it a day! Been thinking it for a few weeks now.
Problem is if he walks he don't get paid. If he underachievers and gets the sack however......
Just doesn't seem the same as last summer, we have the same budget, Mowbray surely still has the same contacts! What's changed? Mogga not really giving a shit is what I see!

Is it any wonder that clubs don't trust us with their fragile young talents after the ridiculous abuse we gave to the likes of Murphy last season, who was one of our best attacking outlets. We need to look at ourselves here too.

who doesn't trust us, Murphy's parent club, Norwich ?, why did they loan us Maddison then ?. Armstrongs club, Newcastle, why did they loan us one yesterday ?
What signings did the other league one clubs make yesterday out of interest?
Are you serious? It's not just about yesterday its about the whole closed season. Running a club and relying on the last day of the window in order to sign two unproven kids does not suggest TM has any room for manoeuvre. I hope the are both like AA but they tend to be the exception rather than the rule.
But i'm sure you will find a way to pin it on TM, CCC, CSF, ACL rather than our delinquent owners
