They need to start getting deals done rather than "close"......then nothing. Patience is wearing thin even among those who generally agree with the approach.

You start to wonder whether the people implementing it are the problem rather than the policy in place.

Harvey and Speakman have joined safc as its allowed then to make the step up into more senior roles, jobs they haven't done before.
 

Can sense he's as frustrated as all of us.
Difference being, it's his fault.
He talks a good game, I'm sure some gullible people on here will be fooled by him.
The same gullible people as usual.

I get a bit tired of reading about implementing a style of play the fans want, or in this case "want to pay to watch".

What does that even mean? If that's the extent of defining a playing philosophy then it's meaningless at best

Just code for playing high pressing attacking football, presumably, which most people prefer.

Totally agree, because he’s got a university degree, thinks he can talk his way out of this, but no proper explanation as to why we have waited so long to sign players, he has been at our club since January, surely there should plans in place.
Oh and while we were on why did he walk out of your seat with 15 minutes to go and not comeback to it at the Lincoln game, scared in case he got stick from the 1st crowd we had in ages I’d guess.

Really? We think the fans want us to play high pressing football so we best do that

Is that all they teach when you get your coaching license? Just play the way you think the fans will like you to

I think its mostly smoke and mirrors. Like the "data". Meaningless really

Am not even sure I can recall another top level coach, footballing director, recruitment specialist, say the words "that's what the data is telling us" in public. At least try and pretend you've got some personal insight

Highly paid hoodwinkers I fear

But willing to be more optimistic at present
 
He can say what he wants but having no full backs 5 days before the season starts is not good enough.
The goalkeeper situation is a massive concern as well. Burge is an accident waiting to happen and going off pre-season Patterson looks a fair way off being ready to be our number 1 for this season.
 
Don’t see why people can’t give it 5 games and the end of the window before attacks on the club, it’s staff and fans
 
We have had 3 players, 2 full backs and a center forward up here over the last 2 weeks all have gone elsewhere.
What does that tell you, if they were brought up here to sign and did not, why?.
Is it because they were looked in the eye and SH thought NAH they don't have that look in the eye I'm after. They don't move onto phase 3.
 
Blah blah blah, we are playing the first game on sat, we have hardly signed anyone, the people employed to bring new players in have failed, simple as that.

We're not looking for another goalkeeper, that tells me all I need to know about our quality aspirations.

New players? Absolutely anyone can do that, we should know that by now given the clowns we've had looking after recruitment.
