So we enter another deadline week where no doubt everything will be left to the last minute, Perhaps Wael would like to go on Twentymsan show again and give us another dose of BS why we got no money now to even get players on loan other than a Goalkeeper. Why let a keeper go if we haven't got a replacement? Why couldnt we get a keeper in this week for tomorrows game?
We are now on to our sixth game without a left back, when is DC going to get us prepared for a start of the season instead of playing catch up every season.

To be told there are 'financial constraints' with all the money we've received in transfer fees in recent windows and the fact the Al Qadi family could put in extra money if they wanted ti is all a bit of a sick joke really.
A goalkeeper should have been here already and DC said months ago he wanted to sign 2 left backs and we've only got the injured THD, who didn't actually cost much according to DC.
It's not just the training ground people need to 'pull their finger out' about, but also regarding the playing budget.

The op and other posters make me laugh. There is no real money. There is no real money. There is no real money. Get it? It aint there is it? The money isnt there,its not really.
The budget from the owners will be enough to survive in league one[possibly] and no more for now and maybe for the whole of their tenure. Thats all there is dont you think?

Anyway I'm sick of this sort of post, do you honestly think that DC isn't tirelessly trying to improve his squad with what resources that are available? It's not as easy as it ***g seems.

So next season we should have a bigger budget after our new sponsorship deals, renovations etc. That's what I thought anyway, I might be wrong. DC new the budget and decided to over load with midfielders, so if he now has to let players go first, that is his thought.

No as I Understand it he has gone for the season, and we won’t see him again in goal for us, and DC made it plain to the keepers he wants a new one in, can’t see why we can’t tie up deals quicker.

Totally agree Steve, whatever the budget you get your team sorted for the start of the season. Its been another dissapointing pre season

There are ways around the FFP as other clubs have benefitted (and are still benefitting) from.
Our owners don't seem to want to go down that route though.
When you think of the players who have left, I cant see that the wages of the players coming in would have matched that.
I know DC likes to have some play money for Jan but why wait until then to get a competitive squad?

The keeper scenario is odd. Truthfully as great as DC has been for the club he’s found this position hardest to sort.
I think this season we’ve obviously added a lot to the squad. And I think:
- we hoped Nicholls would be better. - we hoped the goalkeepers would be better.
I understood the first point, we had two strikers leaving (3 left ultimately) so we could improve the position without necessarily the “hope” appearing too foolish.
When Slocs and Smith signed- I had high hopes. Thought both would be great additions. However, it’s not really going that way.
Signing a third choice is always extremely difficult. Firstly, it’s the second choice getting the reserve minutes- so assembling a profile is tougher than over positions. Second, teams don’t want to give up yheot number 3 until they “have” to. As a result of losing Slocombe, Alexis is likely in the squad today. Other managers don’t role the dice quite as much. That’s not a critique, to be the Rovers manager you have to roll the dice. Lincoln may not have been in for him next week.

If we're not in a position to sign anyone why do we need a Head of Recruitment? Come to think of it, if things are as dire as they seem to be financially why do we need a paid Chairman AND CEO? These three must cost the best part of £200k per annum.

I think turnover is reviewed during the season and submitted to League (dont quote me on that) Basically buy more sausage rolls and we can spend more in January

These three must cost the best part of £200k per annum. more than that Yeah the chairman and ceo would cost 400k+ in a decent sized organisation I don’t see what the problem is. The ONLY position we’ve not sorted in the main window is the goalkeeper position. There were clearly some complications involved in that as we already had too many senior players there. It was too costly to hire another without getting one out. D.C. has clearly been caught by surprise by being able to get Slocombe out in the loan window which frees up cash to bring in a better option. Who knows who we will end up with? We could be positively surprised. Maybe Lumley could come back, which personally I doubt, and if not maybe we will have the second coming of Lumley. To me, DC bought in some top players during the main window. The only real problem I can see with his recruitment is that we needed another option at LB really but JC is providing good cover in the meantime.
