Getting very bored.....

With the fact, absoultly nothing has been happening.

No new contracts for our players, no new signings, no sign of any new signings......

No prospect of managers.....

Its hardly filling me with confidence and its hardly encourgaging me to get a season ticket either.

We are going to get left with the trash on the transfer market, as it seems quite a lot of the good ens have already been snapped up.

Obviously, i'll support the team, no matter what etc. But why do i support such a club, which drives me nuts, who have the worst board to fan contact in the bloody world!!!!!
 

Getting very bored.....

That's precisely why, despite two very good seasons on the pitch, we are a paultry 20/1 behind the likes of Blackpool, Doncaster and Oldham for promotion next season!!!

As I stated earlier in another thread, this week and last is traditionally the fornight when all the players, agents and managers go away on holiday..

Watch this space- I hope so anyway otherwise we'll have to enter a Five a Side league next season..
 

Getting very bored.....

It is boring, everytime I log into this or the official site I expect to see some interesting news..........new manager..........players............something.......
 

Getting very bored.....

To be fair I've had enough.
I have a problem next year, watch my son play football or take him to GP for another season. The lack of urgency from my club is making me wonder if it's worth it. Something happened yesterday that wound me up and peed me off and I'm booked for Staines but wonder how many others I will bother with.
Watch your son play football or do many hours, much dosh for little reward and lack of communication? You decide.
Basically their bothered approach is doing my head in, thank feck I didn't get those STs.:wave:

this time of year is always boring!

come august, there will be a manager and some players and i will be there to watch them scuff around on some grass for nine months.

the internet has made things boring as everyone has got used to there being new info every 30 seconds.

turn off the computer, go outside, tune back in in 10 weeks time!
 

Getting very bored.....

The sentiments here are right - contracts run until the start of July, and before that there is a two week window where players and agents are on hols. You're not the only team to not have signed players!

The start of July, and maybe even as far as the end of the World Cup should see the transfer market really take off.

However, you do need a manager prior to this all happening!
 

Getting very bored.....

The impatients is unbelievable, can we just calm down down to a mild panic instead of the, almost, mass hysteria that some are going through.:eek:

Getting a new manager is not like buying a tin of beans in tesco.

It was only last week that the board admitted defeat to MAs request. There are rules and procedures to go through in appointing a new manager and many are on their holidays anyway.

If we hear nothing by the end of next week, then I would start to be a bit worried.

If rumours are right, we have a short list of two already, which, in 7 days is not bad going all things considered.

Actually it's a lot like buying a tin of beans in Tesco. Do we go for what we can afford (Value brand), the top of the range (Heinz), or something in between? Last time we went shopping we ended up with nothing more than Alphabetti Spagetti (Allen) and he brought us a load of old has-beens!

I don't know what Northampton has heard and from who but until the board make a decision I think it's quite hard to criticize what is going on. Notwithstanding that some sort of timetable would be nice to know.

So apart from Doncaster, name a few other clubs that have signed all these good players you talk about. :fishing:
 

Getting very bored.....

Northampton lost their manager and appointed in zilcho time as their chairman thought this was pivotal to their development. Their ex manager came back early from his hols to talk to Forest and another so it was totally out of the blue, but they reacted. We seem to have had a lot longer......

But only time will tell whether Northampton might have been more prudent to have waited longer. Employing Gorman quickly, doesn't mean it was right move. :wave:

As I said time will tell. However if we appointed someone within 48 hours and they turned out to be another Eddie May, everyone would be saying that they should have taken their time in the appointment. There are quite a few decent managers still available, most of which we can disregard, mainly over cost, but I'm sure there will still be shortlist of 7 or 8 to review, contact and arrange to interview at a time when many are on holidays.
Some seem to think that we are missing out on potential tranfer targets etc., although I read an article just yesterday that its been the quietest time for years on the transfer front. :fishing:
 

Getting very bored.....

Northampton, go and watch your son play football this will only be for a short space of time relative to the number of years watching Brentford. I gave up playing football to watch Brentford back in the '90's after my daughter was born. There have been many, mnay times where I regretted that. (and around now regret havig a teenage daughter - not really;) )
No contest:sorted:

Oh and to those eager to get signings sorry but all the guys we are looking at are kicking around in Germany, they will be back in July to sign up:D

Seems very sensible to me. If there was nothing, we'd have folks grumbling that nothing was being said.

Oh. They already have been grumbling.

Hey. It takes 5 minutes to try to make a baby, but it takes a couple of months to know if you've been successful, and you'd be daft to tell everyone until you're certain.

When BFC appointed MA as manager he was the only candidate and desperate to get (back) into league football. He'd probably have crawled over broken glass all the way from north London for it too. No doubt he'd have had Sky Sports News covering the event :rolleyes:

The whole process took I believe 4 days from start (sacking Downes) to finish (appointing Allen). It was also nearing the final stretch of the season, football was in full flow and bodies were readily available. Now we're in the close season and most people involved in football are likely to either be on holiday or on training courses for their UEFA badges. I suspect BFC is rather like a swan right now, sedate to the naked eye yet paddling furiously under water. At least i hope so!

There are plenty of candidates, possibles, probables and no-hopers about, yet the wheat has to be sorted from the chaff. Some of the names I've heard bandied about on here and elsewhere are frightening, a few interesting, and most immediately consigned to the recycle bin. I assume BFC are using the best people available in this search and will rest easier if those involved last time around are once again in at the sharp end of the business. Maybe this time they'll also get a tad more recognition and thanks for their efforts than last time.

Hopefully we'll have news of an appointment by the end of next week at the latest. Anything longer than that will I believe have a seriously detrimental effect on next season, which already looks like being a tough one.

You are correct, when downes left he left because we asked him to, in this instance we must have looked at replacements before we sacked him

The similarity is that MA told the board (according to GD) that he wanted to quit 2/3 weeks before he quit, therefore surely 3 weeks ago we should have started our short list search:idea:

To be honest, the board should've started the process, or at least started planning the process, when Allen first showed signs of of wanting to move on nearly a yeasr ago. I reckon Allen threatened the board to try and get his spending money up and came unstuck when told "No". Then, like a spoiled child, he threw his toys out of the pram...

If the board had been looking for future managers when martin had looked like leaving they would have been looking the day after he got here
