The Telegraph are quoting Roberto as saying that we're looking at "three positions which needed strengthening over the next ten months". That suggests to me that they won't be joining this transfer window, or even possibly the next.

I'm increasingly filled with a sort of impotent rage - we're clearly not being told the whole story by the club, so instead we feed on scraps of information, half truths and out right lies, fighting amongst ourselves whilst everyone on the board remains silent.

The promised AGM didn't happen last year and there's no sign of it being lined up for the coming season either.

Whilst the Blue Union were divisive, I do sympathise with some of their frustrations - the board repeatedly shows little regard for us, the life-blood of the club, and it will continue to while there is no mechanism in place for them to be held to account.

Sadly, I'm as much at a loss as anyone when it comes to what can actually be done to remedy the situation. Which brings me back to the whole 'impotent rage' bit.

Any suggestions are genuinely welcome.

{Ed025's Note - i share your concerns JA as im sure many do, its born out of frustration of what this club can achieve given its illustrious past and possible future, but we do need transparency from the top to bottom..

Do other fans get treated any differently than our club treats us or is it because we care more or we are not playing very well and have more to moan about?
Does Levy, Ayre,Woodward or Deliah tell fans what we feel we should be told by our club?
Do they discuss transfers before they happen or what finances they have?
I think if our onfield performances improved 50% of our complaints would stop. COYB.

{Ed025's Note - more like 99% alan, a win at the weekend would do nicely though mate..

To be fair he didn't say the squad needs strengthening IN 10 months he said FOR the 10 months ahead i.e the season ahead so the signing should be this window.
