The club might have wanted to move earlier if it was targeting instant promotion!
I get your point but not signing anyone causes a huge future problem. I don't suddenly think we're going to spend money next summer if we don't go up. But if we do go up we need to buy or loan a shedload of players because there are very few of our own who would be good enough.
The best available players usually have plenty options….we could try the “cut off your nose to spite your face” tactic.
Say “sign now or we move on to someone else”, whilst other, more patient clubs end up getting their man.
The other option is to be wasteful and pay out crazy money.
I appreciate the need for urgency….but maybe it’s not that straight forward
…..unless you target lower league/ lower quality players. At least there’s a great chance they’ll be desperate to join a club as big as us and will sign instantly.
Also as mentioned before we don’t want a bloated squad….so in order to buy we need to offload some players too.
