There is a very apt saying..
'Out with the old,in with the new...'

The Club are backing McKellar (rightly or wrongly) depending on your viewpoint and re. signings we have always tended to operate in the same manner.
Be patient,but be ready......

There was a post made a few weeks ago that seemed to suggest that a significant signing/s had been made completely under the radar (not any of the three announced already), are you adding fuel to the fire?

That was one of the rumours from the fabled Costa employee Fissler used wasn't it?

Apparently Juan Martín Hernández always orders a latte from Costa.

Whoever they are they won’t be as good as either players we let go a couple of seasons ago or players coming through the academy system

I would be a bit surprised if we had made a major signing and not announced it already as this would undoubtedly help season ticket sales.

I saw that 90% of season ticket holders had renewed already

I read 9500 compared with 12000 last season so around 80%

I saw the figure on the club’s Instagram so it may have been in a different context

Yeah the stat they put out didn't add up with the other stats they've realised & figures in the accounts. I think they meant compared to this time last year? Or only counted direct debits? Probably its own thread really.
Goooooodeeeeeyyyyy!

Major ones we may plan reveals for.

Also worth pointing out in previous years there are lots of signings released May-July

With any signing announcement there usually is an agreement between the player and both clubs when it is announced. Not always the case Genge being a glaring example
