Did I read somewhere that there has been a budget cut and that is why we are not signing any strikers this season…

A league one club sign a league one striker.

A bit like when we signed Tom Bradshaw, as a league one club, from Shrewsbury, who had been relegated to league two.

In terms of realistic potential targets, Eisa (ex Grimsby) is still available (I think) and the young lad from Wolves, Chem Campbell, might be on the radar. Loaned to Charlton and Wycombe but not quite at that level yet, in terms of goalscoring, so a local league two club might be on the cards.

I think one poster briefly mentioned it, but it was largely ignored and he hasn’t mentioned it since.

Trivela have no pride in this club.They are not interested in progress to a higher league.This is clear from the way they are running the club.Little investment in players only stopgap signings just to fill gaps.Gensanx is a realist.

Gensax is the leader of a very small cult. He wears white robes and they meet in his shed.

The thing about these transfer windows is that agents are continually muttering in their players ears “Don’t take these offers yet because I can still get you a better one once the clubs start panicking” The big money transfers especially. And clubs aren’t prepared to let their lesser players go until they secure the big ones and so the waterfall turns into a flood on the final day

If it’s a Mansfield fan that has mentioned it first, surely him being out of our league is a good thing if there is substance to the rumour?

According to forum bid made and rejected and there has been nothing since according to one poster.

There’s a middle ground between outrageous hysteria and dismissing anything even remotely critical of Trivela/The Club at the moment and it’s transfer activity.

Do I think they are skint? No. Clearly not. Beyond access to their bank accounts, there’s very little reason to believe that. These are people involved in professional football themselves, NFL players, people linked to Marvel, before you even get to the investment side of it. Sure their not “Sheik Mansoor” loaded, but that is plenty enough for League One/Two level. We spent decades sustaining it using the benevolence of one bog manufacturer.

But there are also absolutely fair questions around their commitment, aims, ambiguity and priorities.

Stating they desire to be a multi club ownership model doesn’t negate the fact that they are investing in other things before they are investing in us. I couldn’t give a shit what their model is, I care about Walsall Football Club. Until we’re not absolutely bang average, languishing in a shit league, playing boring football with the same mostly predictable results every season, as we have for the last 5 whilst putting our prices up, I don’t want to see them investing in any football club that isn’t Walsall FC, let alone writing all their debts off and purchasing it wholesale themselves.

Their stated aim is promotion, and challenging for The Championship. Their stated aim, not mine. They also called themselves “Accelerators”. Our recruitment so far has not screamed acceleration, or indeed the players we are rumoured to be linked with.

So while I have no time for grand statements of rebellion, claiming they are shysters who are ripping the good people of Walsall off and don’t give a shit about us, I also have no time for the usual bang average excuses, like players are busy, agents are at fault, it’s tough for other clubs too that have been repeated every year ad nauseum since we have been as stated above, shit for years. Until that changes, people will have their doubts.

Agree with everything you say there and why should you just agree with people when you don’t . The quality of strikers on trial says it all. An embarrassment. If these are all we can afford where the hell is all the money going would be my question !

Exactly. If we get them in, great. If not, then ill pass judgment.

Interesting to see what happens if/when we do sign them, what @Gensanx123 new agenda to bang will be :joy: Probably making it 27 different ways of saying there’s been a budget cut.

They are exactly that, trialists. Its nothing to do with budgets or what we are willing to spend. Its a few players the club are looking at, all teams do it.

When are you going to stop this nonsense? Its the same shite said in a vast amount of different ways.

You literally said the other day that you had a “match report” of the Villa game from your two oppo’s, you werent even there for christ sake. How that makes you qualified to give any serious and credible opinion on the trialists abilities is laughable.

Nobody agrees with you, but on the rare ocassion theres a fragment of sense in a statement of yours that another member picks up on, you jump all over em like theyve backed you to the hilt.

Nobody takes you seriously. Just stop with the utter tripe you spout.

I only go for the cake

Not healthy to bottle thses things up inside though…should really say something.

Going against my better judgement.
I’ll respond , most reasonable people are fully aware of the shortcomings with the football team.
It makes no sense to think the owners wouldn’t want to see progress on the pitch , unless you are only trying to stir things up against the club you purportedly support.
There is always a place for constructive comments and informed criticism.
They have already moved the club forward considerably off the pitch since they have been here.
What we don’t need is your constant inane comments belittling everything the club have done and as far as I can see are continuing to do.
If you have nothing constructive to add it’s probably best if you STFU !
