I'm sorry but why is Hamer sitting down with DC on the 4th of January to discuss transfer targets etc?
Shouldn't this have been done a month ago?!

DC doesn't just ring up x club and plonk £400k on the table for a player the second Bodin leaves

I imagine they will be meeting several times a week now to discuss transfers.

Yeah, it seems like people are taking stuff extremely literally in an effort to make things seem as bad as possible. |

I’m afraid he lost the fans some months ago and now, whenever he speaks he just doesn’t inspire confidence that him or the owners have got a handle on what’s happening. (Or rather what’s not happening) And of course the targets should have been identified weeks ago, I just hope DC gets a couple of those he’s identified.
UTG!

Surely these discussions have already taken place and business continuity plans have already been made up?
If they knew Bodin was leaving like they are suggesting, then surely they knew the fee they'd be receiving and can then search around for a players in the latter stages of December with the money they know they have coming in. They shouldn't be having to sit down 2 days before a game in Jan discussing where we go from here, this should already have happened.

Time is on our side at the moment. We don't have a congested fixture list so we have a bit of breathing space to find the right players. We really could do with somewhat of a marquee signing. Morale is pretty low amongst the fans base and a decent signing or two will hopefully get everyone back on side and get the players chomping at the bit again.
What a statement of intent it would be to splash x hundred thousand on a proven, hungry player.

Strange how whenever SH is interviewed about something he's
always going to have a meeting about that topic that very afternoon
or the next day!
"I'll be sitting down with the manager this afternoon/ I'm visiting
their training ground tomorrow to get some ideas/ I'm going to London
tomorrow to meet with possible investors/ We have a meeting on Friday
to discuss options................"
Always just about to chase things up. What a busy man!

but we don't know who DC wants. Maybe he will have slept on it last night and changed his minute, and wants 2 players from one list and not 1 from the other list.
How do we know they haven't already put in a bid, and Hamer is just saying stuff.
People don't trust anything Hamer says but at the same time believe or expect us to believe what he is saying now

As previously stated I’m sure there were conversations before but billy leaving has created a new position to fill and more funds to play with.. so further conversations are a given now imo

DC probably doesn't know who he wants either. I mean he doesn't even know which shop he is going in yet so how can he know who he wants. We are so reactive instead of proactive. I feel for DC. Preston know who they want and have gone out and got it right at the start of the transfer window. Once again we'll probably be fannying around and left with a couple of loanees. I trust DC to do the best with what he is given but he needs to know what he is going to be given to give him half a chance. |

A Month ago we would have sold the lot and replaced them all, After Portsmouth game we had some world beaters.......... You can only go on the latest information available to us and make decisions based on that |

What Keith should have asked Steve Hamer was "How is this Evolution thing working?"
Steve would have had ample opportunity to then say that DC would get 25% of BB transfer fee, 50% is being spent on the training ground and the new stand (along with a grant that every other football club in England has used) and the other 25% is on its to the owners offshore account.
Surely that's what "Evolution" is? Isn't it?
