2 Days Left of the Window and Still no News.

[RupertsFlan]

I see the usual annual SPACKFEST is in full swing on here then.

Why not just wait till tomorrow night before clawing at your own eyes and setting your face on fire.

Oh don't be so stupid. Clearly there are hundreds of people on here with a proven track record in successful player, agent, club negotiations.

And don't forget most of those same people are far more successful businessmen than Bloom. He clearly has no ambition.

He's spent in excess of £130million and is also absorbing losses.

But ambition NO.He does not care one jot whether we go up, stay where we are or go down.

The real worry that some of the geniuses on here are pointing out is that if we drift around in the championship then our crowds will dwindle. And if we go down - the we will be playing in front of 14,000 every week.

My concern is that this has not clicked in Barber's brain - or anyone else's at the club. They won't have seen that coming and will be pricing everyone out of the market.That's because Bloom brought Barber in to alienate all of the fans, drive them away from the club and ensure that his massive investment is an utter white elephant in 3 years time.

The other real concern is that Barber and Bloom have done a deal with a hotel consortium to be able to build on the land round the ground, turn it into conference facilities and create more revenue streams. What they are also going to do, my source tells me, is make the football club a sideshow and eventually turn the Amex into a massive conference centre and church for Jehovahs Witnesses.

Honestly. I give up reading some of the paranoid, unfounded garbage on here, posted by simpletons, crettins and conspiracy theorists.

If Bloom and his trusted advisors don't want to pay the salaries and fees and agents costs to bring in some players then fine.

I sadly did a deal with the club in 1980 that I would support them through everything. I don't have the luxury of throwing a huge hissy fit and childish tantrum because we are not spunking money we don't have on players and agents that will be gone in 3 years.

What really drives me round the twist is the utter hypocrisy on this board - something that seems to be particular and prevalent within football fans the world over.

On one thread the 'Will POmpey fold' makes interesting reading. Brighton fans smugly telling the world that they deserve everything they get.The true pitfalls of poor owners, a manager and club hierarchy happy to spend their way ti buy an FA Cup.

Scroll up a couple of pages and the hysteria around the clubs unwillingness to spend money, to sell all their best players and just use some kids for the rest of the season - its staggering. Its brainless, it makes no sense and it is a little pathetic.

If we sell three players, get no-one in and carry on - so what?

I shall carry on happy that we have an honest, sensible, charismatic and hugely successful owner rather than a bunch of Americans, Arabs or God Forbid a DIY owner, a dodgy local businessman and a toady MP as the front man.

Happy with where the club are, the plans for sustainable growth and the people who are responsible for the direction we are going.

This board has started to take on maniacal proportions of hysteria and unfounded gash when it comes to the apparent 'real objectives' the club has.

Mason is 10 thousand times a better signing than Wilbraham.

So would I be.

Good post. Occasionally it does no harm to step back and look at the big picture. Yes we'd all love to see Tony Bloom spraying even more of his money on signings in a short term bid to get to the Prem. Even Tony is a football fan and I bet it must be tempting at times for his heart to rule his head and splash the cash but then the businessman in him prevails and he has to take the more pragmatic view. We have come so far in such a short space of time that inevitably we all want that rapid ascent to continue. It doesn't help that we were within a gnats of making that final step last season. Equally there are no guarantees of success even if we did go on a spending binge, there will some serious blood letting at places like Forest and QPR if they don't go up. So I think spending prudently while investing in the stadium and new training complex are vital platforms for our future development.

Went on a bit but good points well made much better than the normal rubbish served up on here

And does anyone seriously believe the players we're hearing about in the media are the only ones we're interested in?

Wouldn't be surprised to see a few surprise signings come tomorrow eve that catch us all unawares.

No, it's definitely 2 days to go.

Just less than 36 hours to go now:

 

[Seagull over Canaryland]

In among all the speculation about potential signings etc there is no mention of Stephen Ward - why?

He is only loan with us - and IMHO has done pretty well. Yes he has a few scary moments but not as many as suggested when he first came to us. OK Bridge was a hard act to follow and set the bar very high but I'd be happy if made Ward a permanent offer.

or have we seen enough of Chicksen for him to be the future?

Scroll up a couple of pages and the hysteria around the clubs unwillingness to spend money, to sell all their best players and just use some kids for the rest of the season - its staggering. Its brainless, it makes no sense and it is a little pathetic.

If we sell three players, get no-one in and carry on - so what?

I shall carry on happy that we have an honest, sensible, charismatic and hugely successful owner rather than a bunch of Americans, Arabs or God Forbid a DIY owner, a dodgy local businessman and a toady MP as the front man.

Happy with where the club are, the plans for sustainable growth and the people who are responsible for the direction we are going.

This board has started to take on maniacal proportions of hysteria and unfounded gash when it comes to the apparent 'real objectives' the club has.

I've even heard that some of Bloom's advisers think 10 + 10 X 10 = 200. What hope have we got with numbskulls like that on board?
