Then we wouldn’t make any signings until AprilI'm still a fan of the old days when you could transfer players all year except for a month before the end of the season.

Ps Its not about the money its squad numbers and thats the last time I state that.
Haven't been here in a while, but thought I would offer my thoughts.
Our whole transfer window effectiveness and potency is being held up by the inaility to shift certain players out of the club.
Yet, it's the very same players we have ended up buying in 'desperate and last-gasp panic buying' in previous windows that we can't now shift.
What does this show us?
1) Our transfer window strategy is poor, ineffective and too 'reactive' versus 'proactive'.
2) The packages and wages we offer to desperate last-gasp transfers are disproportionate, inflated and makes them impossible to shift if the gamble doesn't pay off.
3) Levy's 'cunningness' (that used to be cute) has now become easy to read by other clubs and plays against us.
4) Our transfer strategy is ill-thought-out and out of date.
5) As a club, we are poor at learning and evolving, to stay one step ahead of our competitors.
6) We are easy to read.
7) Levy, feeling guilty in his ineffectiveness at the end of the trasnfer window, makes poor, impulsive decisions to try and grab favour with supporters at the end of the window.
8) We end up back at point 1.
If Levy (who is obviously a good 'business' person) can't see this cyclical pattern of dysfunctional behaviour...then he needs to bring in a strategist to work alongside him...who can provide alternative points of view, fresh strategies and different perspectives.
I'm sure Levy knows Einstein's Law of Insanity. I just can't comprehend how he can allow his own stubbornness to keep playing out a failed transfer window strategy over...and over...and over...again.
Top tip for next season...do things completely differently...and surprise the market.
A fresh approach (whatever that might look like).
And stop taking on driftwood to appease fans in the dying moments of the transfer window...because you won't be able to shift them later down the line!!!
Then we end up back at the beginning of the whole fucked-up loop!!
Over and out.
the amount of times it's been mentioned GF it still goes over the heads of those that don't want to listen

Everything is going to be ok baby...Hercules, hold me and tell me everything’s going to be okay
Or Grealish has gone pear shaped in line with Steve Bruce's comments tonight about fee?All round general weariness at having seen it all year after year, I should think.
Everything is going to be ok baby...
Rocka bye baby...
Levy buy maybe?Everything is going to be ok baby...
Rocka bye baby...
Appreciate the info but if it wasn't about the money to at least some degree we would be able to get the players in that we need and then sort the outgoings after, given that we've got three weeks longer to do that and if money isn't an issue can loan players out if necessary.
Just cause money 'Isn't an issue' we still don't want to be wasting it or throwing it away. Sounds like the plan was (and still is) to try and get good deals for our outgoings whilst bringing in new players. The outgoing hasn't gone to plan so now we're weighing up how much of a loss we can take/are open to taking on them going by ITK.
So it's not about money in a sense that we have the funds to bring in players and pay their wages if I've been reading the ITK right. Still doesn't mean we can just let 6 squad players go for next to nothing.
It just seems the usual Levy shenanigans to meEverything is going to be ok baby...

And what were his comments?

Well, Herc posted his ‘positive’ message at 15:59 & I posted my ‘tantrum’ at 16:00 so the likelihood is we were typing at same time...not that it’s relevant or that anyone cares to be honest. We all have opinions whether it be negative or positive & shouldn’t be ridiculed for itWell, no you didn't and yes you can voice your concerns and nobody told you otherwise but I'm also at liberty to call your post a tantrum.
After I have picked up all your toys thrown from your prams and if I survive cutting my wrists, I'm going to support Fulham, because we are doomed I tell you DOOMED.
FFS Lets see how this pans out, yes I was told we would get at least one in earlier, but I am still optimistic. A week in football can see a completely different scene.
