Unless “next week” is, well, next week, and “this week” is err, this week, so announcements on Bank Holiday Monday (or soon after)????

Without wishing to state the obvious they’ll happen when they happen.

It wasn’t a definite it was a “we’ll see” perhaps the club is just waiting for confirmation that their signing/s will be available to arrive on July 1st which in the current climate is a difficult certainty to guarantee.

As above - GM did not promise an announcement this week.
What I understand him to have said was that they were working to finalise a signing, and [quote]hopefully[/quote], they could announce it early this week.
So, soon......, hopefully :smt004

As I’ve said they’re better off saying that there’s no news on signings. That way nobody gets their hopes up and it’s a nice surprise when we sign a magician from Australia.

If the club says they’re going to announce some signings next week, nothing wrong with the fans expecting some news by now! No need for Murphy to have said anything otherwise. :smt023

I think there are some far bigger issues than if we have signed a 2nd row at the moment, but hey ho whatever floats some peoples boats...

Or is that just for the dark arts in the front row?
