An observation.
The difference in the way our respective boards are engaging with each clubs fans between the city's two main clubs is stark.
I'd like some encouragement as a fan to be honest. I'd take a bit of smoke blown up my ass right now.
It just feels like nobody at board level gives a f@ck about giving our fans something to get excited about.
 
Why is it taking so long to release news about the, rumoured, changes to the coaching staff ? Has Alan Knill gone ? Is Phil Jones on his way here ? etc
We can't announce it until kits have been released as Phil Jones has said he wouldn't be seen dead in Errea training gear
 



Maybe blame the local journos rather than the club.

They were the ones peddling the gossip without any real substance, offered different reasoning whilst claiming they knew the facts, and haven't offered anything credible since.
 
It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if we didn’t see any inward movement until the back end of the window.

I see this as a three part driven scenario:

1. We have a bloated squad and we’ll be happy to trim the squad to be more workable from a personnel perspective but also from a freeing up funds perspective.

2. Despite noises to the contrary that every manager makes about getting business done early, the reality is still that unless the top clubs have most of their business done, you don’t know the caliber of loan player you might get it you go too early.

3. I’m not convenes there are (m)any absolute ‘must haves’ in the out of contract bucket. Ignore keepers as we are not on for any. Defensively Dael Fry, Adam Webster and Jack Hendry, the latter two already in their 30s. No obvious right backs. No obvious midfielders, Dan Neal aside, and perhaps Maja or Stewart and his injury concerns as forwards.

So it is quite possible a pre-season where the most logical arrivals are late loans as the rest of the squad gets tidied up. It makes for a frustrating summer though!
 
As fun as it is for us fans to speculate and want news yesterday, just as you don’t get promoted in December, its what squad you have when the window shuts, not what you have a week into it.

A few things need doing so am interested to see how we go about it. We won’t do nothing so why fret?

Let’s enjoy watching these inferior teams at the World Cup!
