English Football League Kieran Kennedy [Wrexham - Port Vale] Free Tyler Reid [Swansea - Swindon] Free Ryan Watson [MK Dons - Northampton] Free English Football League Kieran Kennedy [Wrexham - Port Vale] Free Mo Eisa [Bristol City - Peterborough] Undisclosed Tyler Reid a very good signing for Swindon. Arrived at Swansea via Arsenal and Man utd where he played in the same side as Rashford. Not given much of a chance sadly at Swansea. Played against us just before Christmas, looked a very good strong attacking fullback. May well have been the answer for us at right back.

According to a sh*thead friend of mine he is utter dross I don't know how he formed that opinion on Eisa when the bloke barely kicked a ball in anger for 82... My good friend Hazel is a long and dedicated follower of the smelly ones and is stupid enough to follow both the first team and the other younger sh@ts, so i value her opinion very highly..

Well, it’s a long time ago since our record transfer spend and I understand the frustration but with the current accounts just out I don’t expect it to change anytime soon. And in a way I hope it doesn’t because we clearly can’t afford it and to put the club into even more debt then that would put the club itself into danger. Whatever we are we need a club. Dont expect many to agree with me.😭 UTG!

And still managed to sell him for significantly more than the £1mil they paid. I'm not sure I believe that to be fair. Fee is undisclosed and just because the time share flogger says it's over £1m doesn't mean it is. He was also paid by them for a year so that's anything between £250k and £500k Whoever Gary Johnson is employed by seem to do very well out of Bristol City it appears. Not sure if Peterborough Today is any better than the Bristol Post, but it claims they paid c£1.3m, so Bristol City after wages probably broke even. www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/sport/football/poshMore importantly they sold Jack Marriott for a reported £5m in July, so they will be reducing their tax bill www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/sport/football/posh

Just hope he's dross when he plays us. Snake not sold yet then? Weren't Posh interested in him?

Our financial situation means we cannot compete with the likes of Peterborough etc. However, that means that it is inevitable that eventually, we will not keep replacing players at a fraction of their value. That did for DC and, if he has to sell JCH, would probably do for GC too. But if our realistic position is as a 4th division club, so be it. Better that than oblivion.

That did for DC and, if he has to sell JCH, would probably do for GC too. But if our realistic position is as a 4th division club, so be it. Better that than oblivion. We’ve averaged the 8-9th largest crowds in L1 during our current spell and have been in this division in 7 out of the last 12 years so our realistic position is definitely in the third tier. What people fail to see is that the money we’ve received for Taylor, Bodin and Harrison has been reinvested just not all on one player and on wages as well as outright fees. Would we have got Bennett, Rodman, Craig, Upson all on undoubtedly large wages for a club our size and spend close to an approximate £750k on Nichols, Payne and THD without the money from such sales? The failure as I see it hasn’t been not reinvesting the money but the amount received in the first place (criminally low in the case of Taylor and Bodin) and who we’ve actually spent the money on. I regard THD and Rodman to be decent acquisitions but for the most part we’ve squandered far too much money on bringing the likes Nichols and Payne to the club and Bennett’s supposedly large pay packet.

Yes axegas l agree esp your assessments about the players we’ve signed. I’m not that worried by not breaking our transfer record and I’d rather spread spending on a range of players. Yes, I can’t criticise the owners for not spending money on the team because they have but some of them haven’t been the quality that we thought they were. Or it just hasn’t worked out. As to Posh paying over £1m for a player who hasn’t scored above League 2, good luck to them it may work out well for them. And if it doesn’t they’ll sell him one year before the end of his contract for as much as they can get. UTG!

Think some of you need to remember Peterborough’s transfer policy has facilitated a few stints in the Championship, a stadium rebuild and a new training ground.
Can’t believe some of you would rather have a settled squad and manager than success. Just look at how well Chelsea do with a similar approach (at a much higher level with more ££ of course).
Madness what I read in here half the time

Madness what I read in here half the time They have not achieved quite what they want but they have either been chasing promotion in league one or struggling in the championship for years on end. Something we can only dream about.

Madness what I read in here half the time Of course I would like success, and most who disagree with you would as well I’m sure. Posh’s stints in the Championship a few years ago now. And they’ve spent lots and lots over the last few summers to try and do it again.....and yet they’re still in League 1 and haven’t really threatened the top two recently. I’m not bothered about them but if I was I may ask a few questions about why, after spending so much, they are still in League 1 esp with motor mouths like Barry F, who’s been banned from football and their chairman and even a former manager who was jailed for cheating a few years back. Perhaps something’s not right at that club either. I would say that spending money you don’t have or just adding that cost to the debt against your own ground would be “madness” so your last comment is correct, we do read a lot of “madness” stuff on here half the time.😉 UTG!

Fair comment but our ever worsening financial position arguably makes us more vulnerable to the drop than most of those 7 seasons. Savvy acquisitions though and we will be alright, and i'm convinced there are plenty out there who need a job who can deliver at L1 level.
