Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Still early doors but so far the board deserve congratulations for backing the manager.They have identified targets and carried out the business to provide W&W with the squad they want.Waghorn, Travernier, Kiernan, Wilson, Thomson, Lang, Wes, Eustace, Holt etc all either signed or under consideration.Even warbara brought in, trial and not offered deal .For first time in a while the club is sending positive messages out.Keep it up.The sleeping giant shall roar again..........very soon!!!

AlBear. 8,499 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Waghorn, Travernier, Kiernan, Wilson, Thomson, Lang, Wes, Eustace, Holt etc all either signed or under consideration.Don't forget wee Gibson brought up from non-league, although he and Lang were marked after trials last seasons. That's not me point scoring by the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamb 126 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Can we wait and see how good they are before getting all excited and congratulating the board. I doubt if many of us had heard of some of these players before the past few days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt if many of us had heard of some of these players before the past few days.We don't have to wait to congratulate the board, they've done their job as Warburton will testify. If it goes tits up then it's Warburton who will carry the can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 54,859 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 The board have spent our ST money wisely.£600k or so of it.Not the 30 million quoted but maybe we're stockpiling our cash. For years 2 3 or 4. Or maybe not.The board do deserve credit for recruiting MW. That could be a masterstroke that could give us success whilst saving millions.

Ace 3,590 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 The board have done their job, they have went about it efficiently & quietly but effectively. There is still more to be done, in the short AND long term. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancedeangers1 287 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Spending wisely and off setting the damage to income from the sports direct retail deal.We don't know how it will pan out yet but at least we are doing what the fans wanted and bringing in potential and younger hungry players that are not costing a fortune.If it fails it was still the right thing to do.

I was critical of them but I expected them to leave egos behind and stand in the background, which is exactly what they have done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,848 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 £9 million of Season ticket money won't go far. IF additional funds come in it'll be subsidising the club towards the end of the season and probably on structural aspects of the club. I would guess.Things are going well. The Board seems to be doing a good job overall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross-Gazza genius 1,967 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 How much per week do we think most of these guys are on?How much have we saved on our wage bill compared to last season?This is where the money will be saved or not as we might only have spent £600,000 but signing on fee's and wages will boost this figure. Not sure if king was including wages in his statement of what he's willing to spend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCutch 4,340 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I am not sure if it is the board identifying these players.Of course its not. But MW is going to the board with players he wants, and so far they have recruited them with a minimum of fuss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Board seems to be doing a good job overall.Whether they do a good job or not, only hindsight will tell.However they appear to actually be doing their jobs, which is a marked improvement on what we've been used to for years.It's easy to be cynical after everything we've been through, but I'm optimistic we've finally found a path forward on and off the pitch.

sammy cox 664 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Congratulations to the board as by the looks of things for once in a long while we look like we have a man in charge who actually knows what he is doing on the park but the biggest thanks have to go to the fans who once again are getting behind the team and im sure they will have a season worthy of the great support.
