    On the way! Three or four already through the door. Wouldn’t get too excited though.

    Even if not inspiring it will make a change to have the bodies in the building before pre season starts.

    Thanks Stuart. Maybe a new manager to go with them!

    Call me old fashioned, but I’d prefer the new manager to be in place before seeing any new signings.

    If Russ is back with the U23s and Turnbull has left the building who is making the decision on new players?

    Slightly concerned 😕

    Well if we are not announcing signings he must be either embarrassed or he knows the fans won’t say wow.

    Getting a raft of new players in without a managers say so…we’ve been here before. Yet another manager will be here with players he probably won’t fancy.

    They can’t have been great, Wilcox has probably seen who they are and has quickly moved down back to u23’s.

    Why don’t I feet great about what’s going on at the minute ?

    Deja vu, anybody ?

    Couldn’t agree more with NI, can’t ‘Thank’ or ‘Like’ but I could have written the same thing. Spot on.

    it may be a cunning plan to run the club down and make Glanford Sands Siro Park into a housing estate.

    Why should this be of any surprise ?.

    Did you not read the comments from McCall when he got sacked ?

    Said I was concerned, not surprised.

    2/10 for comprehension.

    One could be a re-signing, possibly announced tomorrow, but he thanked Conor and Charlie for helping to fund them.

    Northumbiron, slightly concerned ?. This crap has been going on for ages…it’s the norm.

    This clubs been a shambles for some time. Swann and co have had their hands in transfer dealings now for some time. I knew the writing was on the wall after McCall spilled the beans that time in his last interview with Hullberside.

    The days of being concerned should be long gone. Most people have become desensitised with all the bullshit.

    Dont recognize “this club as been a shambles for some time” one relegation and a mediocre season last year, Hurst had started to get us in the right direction but that doesnt make us a shambles.

    Sunderland have thirty-odd thousand fans to help them out.

    We don’t have that luxury!

    Nothing to do with been optimistic, just my opinion that it wasnt a shambles, seen lots of relegations and just moved on.

    High turn over of managers
    Managers seemingly don’t even have control on what players arrive
    Contract fiasco which just about pissed off the whole squad a few seasons ago
    The long running Swann stand off with the council, mud slung back and forth
    Signing players last minute before the deadline, seemingly very little planning and not far off going down

    If it’s not been a shambles, it must be awfully close.

    The signing would have been in conversation with the club for over a week, it didn’t all just happen yesterday morning,,,, Wilcox maybe did have input as he was actually manager last week,,,,
