Who exactly has he tied down? Phillips can be the only one that may have been tough. All the others were formalities. Half of them will be squad players at Best. Broughton has done nothing but talk a good game since he come. He’s not utilised our foreign scouting network and not one signing has had any imagination about it.

I’ve also been told today by an ex employee that this isn’t the first time this has happened. In fact this has happened twice before……😐

I think the worse thing about this shit show is not only have we lost out on one of the biggest signings in the past 10 years but the fact this facade has turned the fan base slightly toxic again, probably at the worst time possible. I can’t believe after last year’s January failure we are sat here one year on reflecting on a January that was 10 times worse. The appointment of GB was supposed to negate all these cockups.

It’s got to the state where I’d take Nixons word over GB’s. Someone has to be held responsible for this absolute debacle.

JDT is certainly not happy. I thought he’d go down the “we were unlucky” he certainly knows where the blame lies and he’s fuming!

I’m on the side of the fence where I’m not taking the Bullshit GB is giving out! There is no excuse. Like I’ve said before I’ve been unfortunate enough to meet him and the facade he puts on in front of the camera isn’t fooling me. I believe just through his pure arrogance he thinks after his interview everything will be forgiven and forgotten!!

Struggle with condensing it down to 10! 😂

The fact that the 3 things you have mentioned are seen as “achievements” says everything we need to hear!! He has given 2 academy lads contracts and signed a centre half that we desperately needed. This is the bare minimum expected in his role. We have come to expect mediocrity and accept it!

Fair play to Nixon, don’t always agree with him but he’s saying it how it is! It’s a complete disgrace that they’ve let it get anywhere near 11pm! What is John Williams up to?

I honestly think the “work” Broughton has done is being over exaggerated. What exactly has he done? All our signings have been obvious signings with very little imagination. I had the misfortune of meeting him and he was rude and arrogant. The BBD saga is a joke also.

Surely the PFA can step in and do something? A suspended 10 point deduction or something like that. This should then be followed by the resignations of both rats SW and GB.

Get rid of Broughton and Waggott! All month to sort it out! They are incompetent and and don’t give two hoots about the club or the fans!

Meanwhile BBD has gone on a free. Tying Vale down wasn’t exactly a stroke of genius. All our signings haven’t exactly been imaginative……he’s hardly found any diamonds.

Greg Broughton has been a disaster since he started, talks a good game but has done absolutely nothing. The step to DOF looks like it was a few steps to far.

Who’s head roles for this debacle?

DOF……..what a load of shit he’s been.

Lewis O’brien would be a huge signing. Comfortably the best CM in the Championship last season. Not sure I trust the hierarchy to see it through though!

24 hours to see how ambitious SW, GB and the Venkys are. If we fail to get quality in tomorrow we are writing another season off. what is the point in Broughton? What has he prouder to the party?

I’m not sold on Broughton, of camera he comes off very arrogant and to be fair he hasn’t done anything yet for us.

Unbelievable isn’t it? I’d genuinely just let him go now. Lenihan, Rothwell, Nyambe now BBD. How is Waggot still in a job? That’s at least £20m thrown down the drain!

Does anyone genuinely believe that this current squad will end up in the play offs? We need to add quality and again it’s looking like GB and SW are failing! it is so frustrating seeing the blatantly obvious seemingly being ignored. Our scouts honestly must be shocking. There is no imagination with any player we get linked with, the only players that weren’t previously known were Mola and Zeefuik and they are shite.

The only names currently linked that will improve our first XI are Undav and O’brien and I’m not too sure O’brien has actually been linked. We don’t need another GK and a centre Half is well down the priority list. When is this scouting network going to reveal its worth? All the decent signings recently have been known players at this level. I expected us to be pulling gems from Scandinavia with Broughton as DoF but it has all been pretty underwhelming to be honest.

I think this game is a big game in our season. If we lose I think the play offs will be too hard to achieve. It doesn’t look like the support is coming in terms of signings. Maybe the post Xmas failures weren’t a TM issue? if we win……it just about keeps us ticking over!

Down to 6th at the minute! If we are serious about the playoffs surely we need to get a couple decent additions in ASAP. Not sure we will deal with a new year capitulation too well again this time around!

Porteous and Haikan both subs, pretty meh signings and a bit pointless at this stage when weve got Pears, Phillips, Carter, Wharton and Barnes as backup. Undav I like the sound of however!
