Fuck me, the first training session hasn’t even taken place yet. Have folk got nothing better to do?
How about we wait until the window shuts, see how we are looking 10 games in and then by all means if it’s a shit show we will all be directing this at the club.
First of all I hope to god whoever keeps putting rumours on here about players rejecting us or us lowering demands are 100% credible as you’re just adding fuel to the fire.
Secondly, let’s face it if we sign early and we get it wrong our recruitment is a joke and if we sign late “we’ve missed our targets and our recruitment is a joke”
It’s a very bizarre transfer window at the moment with lots of clubs fighting for the same players or needing to offload before bringing in. It’s not as simple as identifying players and it all falling into place e.g Don’t you think Grant will be wanted massively due to his scoring record in this league and his age? Our CEO has even mentioned he doesn’t wanna be here but he still is.. why? Because it can take weeks to months to negotiate for the right price and even more so in today’s climate.
Chill the fuck out.

Whilst I agree with some of the points - and have been as critical as anyone as to how the club has been “run”
I think we have to give the club time on most of these
We’re at the start of pre season - signings needed and sharpish to give Carlos a chance but no immediate panic
Devlin has promised Carlos will be backed so we have to take him for his word
If we’re sat here in 2 weeks with no proper signings (I don’t include league 2, conference etc!, sponsor etc) then criticism is fair
But a bit of patience for now

It always amuses me when people say we're a laughing stock. Who's actually doing the laughing? The answer is no-one because no-one actually cares enough about us to know what's going on in the club. Unless we're laughing at ourselves but I don't see anyone doing that, we're too busy chucking our toys out of the pram.

In turmoil due to no sponsor?!
If we haven't signed anybody by the end of next week, that's still not time to panic. It would probably be better if we had but still not time to write the season off.
As every single window, premier clubs need to get their transfers sorted before business filters down to the championship (where the potential salary cap still isn't sorted - something which may be a massive factor).
Unless people want us to just sign anybody at all, regardless of ability, just so we have made a signing.

More like "this thread is a joke". Just let the people at the club get on with their jobs. The last thing on their minds will be letting people on a non-official club forum know what the latest situation is. It's like the moaning 10-year-olds in the back of the car on the way to the seaside: "Are we there yet?... Waaaaaaah!".

Even if we are a joke (which I seriously doubt) I'd still rather support Town than someone like Everton. We will have plenty of stuff to discuss and debate and then once each decade or so we unexpectedly have an 'interesting' season. Meanwhile over at Goodison Park it's like Groundhog Season, won't win the league, won't get into Europe, won't beat Liverpool and won't get relegated. Yawwwwwn.

Also, if you like Yorkies, would supposed sexism stop you liking them? It's not like they've been caught taking a shit in the vat.
Peoples memories are short when it comes to something like that anyway.
I accept that all of what I said are generalisations.

The kit is obviously ready but why would you want the club to release the kit without a sponsor? The club is already losing income in gate receipts, why would you want it to just waiver any chance of income from a shirt sponsor?
Sure the club can cope with losing a few hundred shirt sales from the bellends if it means waiting until the last minute to secure a sponsorship that far outweighs that loss.
Also why is it the club's fault that they don't have a sponsor? What company is going to want to sponsor a shirt when they are going to lose the benefit of 24,000 people being able to see it on a match day?
From what I can see from only nine championship teams have released new kits so far, all of which have the same sponsor as last season.

*lack of signings after a disastrous season.That haven't been announced. 19 other championship clubs are yet to purchase a player. *players wanting to leave and jump ship.
Why would they not? This is the same at any club. At any level. Even Liverpool. *a coach nobody as heard of (massive gamble)That you hadn't heard of is not the same as 'nobody'. *Undercutting potential signingsConjecture. There's no proof whatsoever to prove this. * a superb training facility that as now been shelved Its a phased development. And hasn't been shelved. With some phases being dependent on survival in the PL. They had to plan for it because of how long the planning process takes (around 12 months).But of course you've read the planning application, right? It's in the public domain. *no kitwe have kit. It just hasn't been launched. *no sponsor
There are sponsors. They just haven't been confirmed. *no backroom staff in placeThere are backroom staff in place. They just haven't been announced. *no friendlies That you are aware of. *becoming a feeder club to our nearest rivals Always been the case. And our 'rivals' at present are those at the bottom of the division. No doubt the haters will be on to shoot me down but at this moment in time we are a laughing stock which doesn't look like changing anytime soon. (Hope I'm proved wrong) You're doing enough for everyone.

I'm all for having a moan but come on, the season's only just finished, we stayed up, we've got a new manager with a Spanish accent which should guarantee us at least a play off spot next season, what's not to like?
