Right. So what we are saying is "Wael, last summer's recruitment was poor and we need to do it again in January. I know we are losing £million+, but can we have some more money please? What would you say? Bit leading there Oldie. Its not like we’re asking a stranger for some cash. I’m sure Joey has a budget and like any other business would have to justify going outside that budget So, like any other business, what would be the justification for going outside the season's budget?

Simple really, players not performing as expected and even clubs like Cheltenham and FGR are paying record breaking transfer fees. Although Wael's got a choice whether to pay up or not.

Prepayments and accruals, expecting a windfall in the summer with Collins going for big money.

Quite a few players that have moved to clubs in League One that would have improved us IMHO.
Ryan Bennett (to Cambridge), Todd Kane (to Charlton), Charlie McCann (to Forest Green), Brandon Cooper (to Forest Green), Harry Boyes (to Lincoln), Dynel Simeu (to Morecambe), Dan Crowley (to Morecambe), Nathanael Ogbeta (to Peterborough), Callum Wright (to Plymouth), Jonathan Leko (to MK Dons) and Demetri Mitchell (to Exeter).

Dilan Markanday from Blackburn, makes sense.

With no accountability for any of that from the budget holder?

With no accountability for any of that from the budget holder? Come on Les, you are right from a business viewpoint but we all know that football doesn’t work like that. Does it? I’m not saying it shouldn’t but I know it doesn’t, just as you do! 😉 Football and its ownership is so far outside most models of business that it lives in a world of its own. Where you are right and what may be happening at this moment is that Wael will be deciding whether or not to let/ has planned and was already in the budget/ trust JB with spending actual money rather than loans. After that debacle on Saturday it may be a long conversation. JB must have surely known at the start of January we needed injury replacements but his mantra of getting best value at the end seemed to make him reluctant to act. I’m sure Wael will have a view. Whether he is strong enough to argue with JB remains another matter. UTG!

Another very quiet morning and unless there is an announcement planned later today are we genuinely led to believe we will manage to onboard 5 planned targets whom we have been tracking and negotiating with throughout the month, on the last day of the window.
Just don't see it ....
I sense we are scrabbling around with every other desperately 'transfer disorganised' club looking for potential scraps and waiting on calls from connections to see what just might be available.
Seriously hope I am wrong but the Benny Hill Music ring tone on Eddy Jennings phone seems to have gone quiet. Let's see how many of two maybe three that turn up on Wednesday for training that we recognise and can all say ... "Terrific addition to the match day starting eleven"

Nope, just thinking that Wael/TG may sanction a move in anticipation of paying for it later, either as a loan or staggering transfer payments to dovetail receipts. Either way, it's unlikely.

Fleetwood looking to sign Marriott and (?!!) Stockley, Burton might be getting Stockton. Another 2 teams below us signing decent players....

Would have liked Marriott or Stockton .... both could potentially be good fits in our team....if not immediately then certainly by the Summer. Frustrating .... Come on JB please prove me wrong and show that you have it all in hand.

What annoys me like a few posters on here it seems practically every transfer window we are scrambling around for new players there is no way we will bring in 5 before the deadline of 2300 tomorrow night

Stockley not really set world alight at Charlton. And would he want to come here and sit on the bench. DCM, CB and LB are most urgently needed

There’s a pecking order and we’re not that high up in it . Players hold out for a championship side then when that doesn’t materialise they go for a ‘big’ club in our division. Only after this do we get to feed at the trough .

Two days left and that response suggested to me that we were literally starting from scratch again on Monday morning waiting from calls from contacts.... in truth I would have hoped for 'Targets acquired and now in the final stages of getting them over the line' - that at least would suggest a measure of control.

Even Lincoln are spending, a reported £300k for Ethan Erhahon.

Ill be fine if we can just get a couple in, the top 6 we aint beating anyway and we should be safe so no point pushing the boat out this window unless there is good long-term value
