Must think we are all thick.

It's quite straightforwards to me just get Siggardsun fit then get rid in Jan and use every penny of his wages and maybe small fee towards a decent striker, loan or otherwise.

Good to see Eustace wants to strengthen the positions that most of us fans also want. I just hope the club back him; both need to be permanent deals but doubt they will finance anything but a free/loan.

Spoiler alert, they won't.

Anyone who thinks they’ll invest in January need a reality check. They won’t. History shows this. 

May as well close the thread now. Bloody pointless.

And yet some fans still believe in them.

We need to start making noises again and getting Waggott and co feeling the heat. Doubt even then, anything will happen.

Sadly, some say we deserve all this shite, when, some just clap and accept things.

Let that last paragraph sink in. It’s is so frustrating that they just see things, but don’t do anything about it. While others can clearly see what’s happening.

[alcd]

How many years is it since ANYTHING good happened in a January transfer window at this club?

Still got fans on the LT site scornful of those who want Venkys to quit. We'd be finished they argue. "Who would buy us?"

Makes you weep.

most stupid comment iv`e ever heard was from someone in the riverside stating we`ll end up  like bolton if venkys leave ,thats bolton who get 20000+ every home game after they got rid of their allegedly crooked owner ken anderson,generally think some of our fans need lobotomising🙂

Sounds to me like most of them already have been.

We literally need to sell to survive, so any transfer business will be in the opposite direction.

More likely to be a fire sale than any squad strengthening.

When the brainwashing has been going on since the league 1 relegation it's no wonder now it's the go to narrative for many and it's usually the ones who don't posses enough facts to have a balanced argument.

Good luck getting takers for 9/10s of this lot!

And similar to last January (when we sold Adam Wharton for a pittance) clubs will be aware of our predicament and exploit this. Waggott won't know whether to s*** or get off the pot.

This has been 14 years in the making and I firmly believe that the tipping point is nigh.

Summer 2026 I would suggest unless we suddenly unearth another multi million pounds talent

The issue there is that there is nothing coming through that would command a seven figure fee. The two youngsters who I think will make it to the top are Tyjon and Litherland but neither will get a platform to convince clubs to buy them. To be honest I just want us to be put out of our misery. There have been far too many crises under the Punekars for one not to tip the balance and for me this is the one. Bring it on and let's see what is left when they go.

Bolton have been through it and have come out stronger than before.

Nothing to fear, won't be worse than this.

11-12 years (the one where we bought Conway, Gestede, and Cairney), maybe?

We are lucky to have a cupboard.

Do you expect anything good to happen in this one?

It gets wages off the books.

So? That doesn't seem to achieve any more than selling people does these days. No matter how many wages we get off the books or how much we raise in player sales, we're always told we don't have enough money and need to get more wages off the books and raise money from player sales.

I hope so. 

I think we need wide attacking player with pace, a striker and centre back. I think 2 of those will be loans.
