What a suprise. Another day gone. Still no rightback. Losing faith in this expensive recruitment crew, who have only brought in Hackney. In a job for 12 months and one player in. I would be sacked in my job by now.

Why do you sign right backs in your job too?
23 Jul 2026 22:57:43
I don't think u like me, Reg, always having a go. No, I don't sign rightbacks, but if I want doing what is necessary, they wouldn't think twice about getting rid.

I suppose the equivalent would be to ask Dev: whatever industry you work in, if you knew there was a serious problem that has been around for four years, would (or have) you sorted it?
I don’t think it’s just this window that is winding everyone up, it’s the 7th or 8th window of disappointment (so far) in terms of an RB.
I hope I’m proven wrong and someone is signed up this weekend. It would be good to get them in and give time to gel with the team.

I think it is pretty obvious that not recruiting a natural right-back that is good enough to play week in week out is a complete failure. In most business environments, failure to address a major need for this period of time would result in heads rolling.

It would, but we still have time to get it done. I'd have liked it done sooner, but I won't complain until the window shuts.
The biggest issue we have is always the same, as much as we'd like to think otherwise, for our top targets, we are often not their first choice, so we either settle for next best immediately or we play the waiting game.

The reason we're not their first choice is because of the inept management, dreadful tactics and refusal to give younger players a chance that cost us European football.

It would be like having a F1 pit crew with only three guys on the tyre guns. We've had three and one with a spanner because he can't use a gun. But he's there to make the numbers up so that's ok.

He is not having a go, he is politely telling you to stick at your job. ?
