Exactly what I said, are you saying that you knew his older brother who has no interest was the one in charge of finance? Well I knew it was the whole family who bought the club. We all knew that, but did you expect Wael to have some autonomy in running the club? I did, maybe that is just me. Alarm bells would have been going off for me from the start if I had been aware that Wael would have had to present business cases to his brother (who doesn't like football) to get funding to push the club on.

Who's said anything about being happy if we didn't sign anybody? Its who we sign that's important, if the right player isn't available for the right price, then we shouldn't just sign anybody for the sake of it. Firstly DC has to rate him, he has to be better than we've already got, has to have the right application, attitude and work rate that DC requires too. I've got plenty of ambition, but I'd rather us sign the right player than just spend money to apease some fans and then he turns out to be another Tom Nichols and doesn't hit the ground running. So do you think DC just stuck a pin in a book of players when he signed TN, or did he just sign him to appease fans? It just shows all the homework on player doesn't always pay off. We seem to be the only club in the EFL who struggles to sign players, even struggling Yeovil miles from anywhere can get players to join them (& not leave them!). Bury are totally brilliant at signing players,they are top of the league for the sheer number of players they manage to sign.

Haven't you notice we haven't signed one league player in January? Yes I have noticed. What’s your point ? And why do you mention league player ? What difference does it make which division we sign a player from ? Was Taylor crap because he came from FG was Bodin crap because he came from Torquay or Mansell ? Would you rather we went out and signed loads of players like the likes of Northampton and Oldham are doing and just tear up everything DC has built the last 4 years ? Spot on but dont expect an answer socrates!! UTG!

Edit: Something I reckon the old board would definitely have instructed a solicitor to have a go at

Until either our attendances improve , we create more non attendance income or Hani gifts us money then we are probably around that yes . But over time there’s a good chance that at least one of those things will happen and we can push on and perhaps become a championship club who knows maybe even Premier. I want us to keep progressing as much as the next Gashead but I’m realistic about it too. I think we’ll finish around the same as last season maybe slightly higher and that will be progress. I’m not in the “ thought we were going to be world beaters and now really angry “ camp like I know a lot of our supporters are. Why ? Because when Wael bought the club and gave us his plan on what they were going to do and how they aimed to achieve it I took it on board. I’ve read a lot of posts on here this season saying things like “ they’ve taken us for mugs” they’re taking the water they should just sell up “ I think those people didn’t listen to a word Wael said nearly two years ago and got a bit carried away. Whilst I agree that many should have actually listened to Wael, I'm very disappointed with how we are treated. The way the whole UWE thing was handled was very disrespectful to us fans imo. I believe it was the handling of the situation that has turned fans against them. I think the upbeat "landing lights on" "top 6 budget" type comments has created a backlash from many fans who expected more. Ive decided to give the owners more time to improve the club despite doubts. I havnt seen any proof that they mean harm to the club so im keeping faith with them.

Nowt on the club's site. Have to wait and see if he turns up for the obligatory shot of him holding a scarf in front of the tent.

I will admit it does seems strange no official announcement by the club for either player - especially Kyle Bennett. They obviously must have said something to itv local news to allow them to say Tony Craig had signed

They could all go to the pub have a beer and get up in the morning and not to have to worry about getting it done in time

Yes get that as both free agents. Obviously Kyle Bennetts decision to leave Portsmouth the way he did suggests a move was already fully agreed - I don't think AD would tweet what he did or Itv news broadcast what they did if these signings weren't ' official' as official could be

Crazy trying to bullshit the fans, so short-termist and only leads to disappointment. What would have been wrong with, 'we've arrived in League 2 ahead of expectations, our aim is to establish ourselves in the division while getting the club to a sustainable poistion after years of underinvestment in the playing infrastructure'?

You forget we had a stadium dream still alive when they took over and then a state of the art training facility both of which either ain’t happening or a tart up and portakabins ffs, don’t seem to remember Wael saying that 2 years ago either.
