A quiet day
Not in my house as I have a woman arriving in a minute who is going to power wash my roof. Just hope she doesn’t want me to help.
A quiet day at Sparrows Lane though, which is what can happen when you have no manager. Players understand that manager’s come and go, and whether it be a Technical Director or a Head of Recruitment that is often the main driver in deals, footballers, and people like you and me, like to know who they are working for.
I am not saying we should have kept Michael Appleton, although it does appear he was influential in the signing of Coventry and Fiorini, but sacking a manager during the transfer window stinks again of poor risk management. When will we learn?
There are no, or few rumours doing the rounds, only the potential exit of Conor McGrandles has seeped through from the training ground thus far today.
Target Aaron Collins who we put in a bid for has signed for Bolton and Jonson Clarke-Harris appears more than happy to see out his contract at Peterborough.
There’s always the possibility of a completely unknown player on loan that a Premier League club need to get fit, although the biggest question mark today surrounds George Dobson.
We did do a lot of early business, although other than Bakinson, REG and Coventry the rest are not fit, but we have also allowed as many players to leave.
The deadline closes at 11pm GMT.
There was a whisper that we were in for Will Evans of Newport County…..don’t know how reliable that is though.
He looked good in the Cup game.
Have a bid in for Harrogate right back Kayne Ramsey,
Why are we after a RB surely a LB and CF have higher priority.
I have little respect for Edun’s defensive ability and Gillesphey may be another crock . Are we a football club or a convalescent home for injured footballers.
