I think people wanted to have a look what the players had to offer first. I know I did.
Now that I have had a look you were right but only regarding January.
Our summer recruitment was ok in my opinion.
RE: What Is The Clubs Transfer Strategy - Widdow - 03-08-2020
Sorry meant since summer when we sold Appiah who could’ve had a real chance last season rather than the likes of Mir, and we sold him we didn’t buy a striker.
And the likes of loans not good value and then the rushed signings of Jenkinson that just didn’t make sense.
We simply haven’t got a recruitment policy, an Identity kit of the type of player we need for now and future.

So if Cash and worrall got for a combined £27m
That alone is more than the new owners have spent since arriving.
Consider as well how many we have sold since arrived
Appiah £8m
Brereton - £7m
Mckay - £1.5m
Kapino - £1m
Lichaj - £500k
Tachtsidis – £400k
Ansarifard - £500k
Grant - £100
Osborn £3.5m
Soudani -£2.5m
Fox - £300k
Geddy £1m
Chema £1m
Robinson’s £1m
I am sure you can work it out and also wonder why we are still so worried about FFP.
It’s good Club is making money on transfers and looks self sufficient
Where is the actual investment from the owners?
And if Fawaz had sold all that, there is no way he wouldn’t be questioned

I said yesterday, this next few weeks are pivotal. I think we all accept we have to sell a player a year to stay afloat. This summer if we sell and then don't buy properly, or we change the manager and start from square one, we're likely to be set back by 2 or 3 seasons IMO.

Hard to disagree Widdow.

I agree this is a big test for the owners and management team now.
They have done well so far since coming in, turned round a sinking ship. However a good summer is needed if we are going to keep progressing.
On top of that this is the backdrop of a massive disappointment in the way we missed out on promotion. It will either kill us or make us stronger. We only have a few weeks to find out.
This is the least optimistic I have been since the owners came in. I still have faith and will not judge them too early, but action is needed.

Judge by actions not words- EM said. This summer many fans will judge...

I will be doing. Definitely.

Didn’t they also sell Britt for £15m it was that Fawaz?

No, this lot I believe. Shuffle the pack I think was the term used.
RE: What Is The Clubs Transfer Strategy - ThePromisedLand - 03-08-2020
EM is comfortably in profit on transfers.
RE: What Is The Clubs Transfer Strategy - GaribaldiRED - 03-08-2020
So you suggest that we have amateur recruitment set up, amateur management, amateur coaching staff and last but not least an amateur owner.
