Don't think I've ever known anything like it.
I genuinely think that the Prince thinks that owning a club is like playing football manager.
But he's being negligent even if it's not really on purpose.
I'm sure we will sign some players in the coming weeks and I really hope they are improvements to the squad and not punts/development signings like Traore, Slimane etc. (Although I hope they do well just can't say with confidence yet).
Selling Berge to Burnley is not a wise move, Forest want to sell O'Brien but won't sell to us cheaply because they don't want us to strengthen.
You have to ask as well why Sander is keen to move? It's fair to say they are looking far more likely to stay up but it's not a given for them either. I think we all expected a bigger club/move for him so why now and why Burnley.
They may well offer more money and may also not insert a relegation wage reduction clause?
But you wonder if not only that, Burnley along with Luton have a bit more ambition and vision for their club to sell players. What is our aim other than try to survive on a ever tougher ask given the outgoings. When we came up under Wilder we were riding a wave, the players we signed wanted to buy into story and the progress.
And lastly do the Prince/board think about the squad mentality.
These lads are part of a team, N'Diaye was a popular lad as was Berge. Sharp's dressing room influence alone would have been extremely useful right now.
Hecky alluded that the place was flat when the staff and players heard the N'Diaye news. This will be another kick in the teeth, especially when they see he's off to Burnley.
The players aren't exactly oblivious to what the fans are thinking too. They will hear our concerns before Saturday. They may even share them.
How does that make the likes of Anel think? If his agent is having offers presented he might want to push for a move too.
We also have many other players out of contract in 12 months. By the Prince's interview he's more or less stated that any that don't want new deals we would rather sell now.
It's totally baffling, and it is not striking me as an owner who is "best we've ever had".
More most fortunate we've ever had given Wilder and Hecky's accomplishments.
