Speaking to lady in ticket office today who was saying how Ronnie is still in every day working away.... This coupled with no news of signings or even gossip suggests he is having as hard a time now to attract players as he did when he first came in. Or is it a case of still too early to start worrying?!

Most players are on holiday so will leave it to their agents to tout themselves... I am not surprised it's quiet...In Ron we trust.

Unfortunately we are at the back of the queue when it comes to bringing players in, mainly due to location. Likely to be players with local connections or players that Ron has had previously had connections with. Only other way will be to drastically increase the budget as money talks. Of course it's been done before so there is hope.

not this location shite again.

We're at the back of the que as we are offering peanuts, simple as that, offer a play less than everyone else, and he wont come, simple as that.

FWIW not many deals are done in may, players are still under contract, clubs are still sorting budgets, people are on holiday, i expect more business in june

We agree on one thing then. And you recon Ron's lying on the other.

Agree with this - Still early days

Apparently we've still got negotiations going on with some senior players

Rumours are one or two have rejected the terms - yet they haven't been signed by another club nor admitted to leaving.

Deals still to be done - once we hit pre season, more will happen.

He's just only telling half a story, not a lie, but he's hardly gunna say the owners won't give me much coin so I can barely get people up here, the last person who spoke out against the owners was Hughes n look what happened to him

Well let's see he'd already secured one player with just over two weeks gone.
At that rate that makes six new players in a 12-week close season. I'd start really panicking if he doesn't bring anyone in by the end of the week.

heard yesterday Ronnie is trying hard to bring back Mirfin who has a year remaining on his contract and decent wages at Scunthorpe but was told pools going to break the bank to get him also Ken is suppose to be going to pay for 2 season long loan players out of his own money. Also Ronnie is trying hardest to keep Bates at the club as he wants him as captain.

Pools "break the bank" :laugh: :laugh:

Ken "paying out of his own money" :laugh:

"Trying hardest to keep Bates" That will be why we offered reduced terms then? Captain? :laugh:

I heard the Mirfin rumour a week ago. Would love for it to be true but I doubt it will be.

If Mirfin is as sound as he sounds, Scunny must have some cracking defenders for him not to get his game. Can't we go for one of them instead?

Did we ever find out if the payments for James and Burgess were going to the club or IOR? I know nothing about how football deals are done but it was written off as an excuse that the money for these players was not one payment but spread out over a number of seasons. Could we not then use this money to sign other players on a similar bases and spread these payments out to other clubs also?

I presume you mean Baldwin but its one of them rules that only applies to us.

Plus it went to pay the "admin fees" that are bleeding the club dry.

He looked like he couldnt move towards the end of the season, far too old to keep goal at a professional level now.

Ah but that then becomes a debt and IOR want to sell the club debt free. See, once the income from James and Baldwin has paid off all the VAT and miscellaneous expenses, there's none left to counteract the outgo.

Er... they still want to sell Pools, right? sctatchinghead
