We will see when we play the game but I have faith JDT and these players clearly you don't 

I have faith in the players not the system

Yes but will we win them? A bird in the hand Is worth two in the bush 

With 2 in midfield no

It’s the fact that there is any obligation to buy that triggers the requirement to submit the contract 

I say fact, I mean my reading of the regulation - I may be wrong!

You're probably right but allegedly rhe rejection was based on what happened if we stayed under EFL regulations and were relegated and in that case there was never an obligation to buy

The EFL regulations require the submission of the future ‘permanent’ contract when registering a loan with an obligation to buy.

 

There was no obligation to buy if we stayed under EFL regulations

The promotion clause has no concern to the EFL as we would be then under the EPL

GB "Revealing the reasons for the failure would weaken our appeal"

So did the EFL leak it to Nicko

I would much rather have people like Greg Broughton involved in running the club than the likes of Steve Waggot and Ian Sylvester. The very fact that he has got a number of our excellent youngsters to sign long term contracts and is developing the recruitment team shows that he knows what he is doing. He’ll do for me. 

George Hirst was their number one target. I rest my case

GB should have just given us the JDT speech. It was a poor performance from the team. We made bad choices. We didn't take or chances and we'll learn from it

Who agreed for the fixture to be played on deadline day

Technically his problem is that Forest haven't included him in the 25 man squad.

Forest knew on 1st Feb that the deal was doubtful, and yet they still chose to pursue Ayew and let him take the last place in their squad. He's partly not playing football because Forest didn't want him.

 

Start putting a few quid on Forest U21s then as they've suddendly got a lot stronger

You said targets, which we had. 

Ok maybe Mbappe didn't answer his phone so thats one of the two ruled out

If I was O'Brien's agent I'd be taking legal advice for sure...

Could he sue the EFL for restriction of trade, Bosman like

Just now, Sweaty Gussets said:

No, we tried to sign at least two strikers. And failed. 

Not aware of any strikers having medicals so in my mind that never happened

What if everybody just turns up late to the next game

So if O'Brien deal was unexpected by the club causing it to fail, does that mean that we actually had zero targets which is more concerning.

If deal sheets are in then international transfers have to be concluded by midnight, domestc transfers by 1AM

As with Ahmedhodžić, I suspect our wage offer is thoroughly disappointing to the player and their representatives. Agree or not with keeping a wage structure, we seem to struggle to attract the players we want when there is competition.

So just do what Sheff Utd did and pretend you can afford it

Our match isn’t on any UK TV is it?

No Man Utd own the TV rights for the FA Cup

Anyone who starts a sentence with "No disrespect to"...and then goes on to completely disrespect whoever they are talking about.

Managers who say "Players/team will learn from this"... They never do

Is Declan Rice the most overrated player in the PL
