All those bleating and over reacting about our ‘disastrous’ transfer business this summer are the exact same individuals that would come out with the likes of ‘a really underwhelming signing’ if we had panic signed any old player.
Club was never going to win either way. 🤷🏻‍♂️
Here here! Some people really do have nothing better to do than moan 😂

Oh dear 🙃

But I don’t think anybody is criticising “ the club for ….not acting …based on our own guesses…”

The facts speak for themselves- as stated in my post- “ we have only two fit senior strikers in a formation which requires two fit senior striker”..

So if it’s quite alright with you 🙃 I’ll continue to support the club as much as I can, but when I think they should be criticised ( as in this case) I’ll also do that ….
I was referring to your final paragraph in which you say the club should learn from what happened and then set out how you think transfer negotiations should be carried out. Perhaps they were carried out exactly as you described? Who knows?

The clubs that tend to spray money around aren't guaranteed success though, just look at Derby, Reading (194% of their turnover on wages 😳), Forest, and Wednesday themselves in the Championship.

Clubs that are lean, mean and have a clear vision with more modest backing tend to do just as well or better. E.g. Preston, Millwall, Brentford, Barnsley and pre-Premier League Bournemouth, Swansea and Huddersfield (not that those clubs didn't spend any money at all).
Brentford is the model to follow currently

Why the fixation on what our players supposedly earn- the article that has been posted i will take with a pinch of salt

I am not at all interested in what our players earn - it is what they do on the pitch & the commitment they show to the shirt that is important

Some how i dont think any of the posters on this site would disclose their yearly salary on this forum

I agree totally on this.I am sure that most of the critics on here have no idea what has been going on behind the scenes and if our chairman were to read some of the negative comments he would wonder why he bothers . The season is in its very early stages so lets leave any moaning to nearer the end of the year if its justified then
I would hope our chairman is a little thick skinned to ‘why bother’ over a few comments that simply imply that we have had a very poor second half to the window
