The moment the window opens, someone will climb through, nick our best players and take a dump in the board room.

A full day of the window being open and not a single announcement. Booooooo, Evatt out!
Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill!

And the key to a result is a good :kettle:

Not even managed to announce "the couple we've already got through the door" - maybe they've left for Oldham....

The lack of activity in the context of ‘we want all our business done before we return for pre season’ is incredibly underwhelming. Almost as if it’s simply not possible to do your business that early.

I always do my business early. Regular as clockwork.

I’d we’ve struggled with free transfers and now most of the good ones are gone or out of reach it’s going to be an expensive do this summer for football ventures if we are seriously going to be promotion contenders next season. Quality in a few positions required and that doesn’t come cheap if you don’t nab up the best freebies.

We've signed a kid so wet-eared that he wasn't born when Nolan scored the winner at Old Trafford, and more importantly only kept 3 clean sheets in his last 18 appearances.

(Am I doing this right?)

I saw today that our entire financial future was reliant upon Home Bargains funding the football club and them "pulling out" means we will go bankrupt. Clearly doomed.

I see that Michael Appleton's been appointed as Blackpool's manager, so we're stuck with the moody pub leaguer!

Tonight we're having a Team bonding session before we head out to Portugal. Anyone old enough to go to the bar?
