Mr Chappers Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Don't agree with it, seems like joining lemmings in a stampede of rash spending, with no guarantee of success. It ain't what you spend it's the way that you spend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthmeadScarfSnatcher Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Personally, I certainly don't think we have completely missed the boat. We have arrived late to the dinner and all the bread has been ate and most people are full after eating thier main course and are enjoying their desserts. Last year we got ahead of the curve and secured our main targets early without having to compromise on secondary, more expensive options. We also did well in the loan market. We had a successful season hangover and came out the blocks slowly in the closed season, maybe Cotts won't admit to this, but the management team were a lot more active last season prior to the preseason Portugal trip. Still, we have many quality options available, but I see a lot of gap fillers from the loan market coming our way. I just don't see the bargains being avalable, mainly due to our hangover and late dinner arrival. We will be fine and still have faith in the management team and staff we already have, maybe just something to reflect on for the future as a lesson learned. / The Boss (tie your silk scarf round your wrist, never give it up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Exiled Robin Posted August 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Thanks all for the comments, hugely appreciated! And no, sorry, I can't do anything about the very annoying and intrusive adverts that pop up. I've complained previously in writing to the media group's boss but just got blocked via Twitter. Very mature response... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
