If we have to wait till July for Ledman Group to takeover to make any "significant signings", once again we are going to be left with the left-over "bargain deals" and finalising our squad in August, 2 months behind most of the other clubs in the A League.
Any players signed from Euro Leagues there free agents as of 1 St July.

Anyone worth their salt is signing a pre contract anywhere 6 months in advance.
This ain't worrying us as this ain't our range.

As of 1st July there are 100s upon 100s of unemployed footballers in Europe
Many of them desperate for a new deal somewhere. It is a buyer's market.

Now is the time for us to sign blokes worth more than what we would normally be able to sign players for

Not forgetting many Euro clubs will not start signing players until July anyway after the Euros are over.


We ain't missing any boat here.

We are in the game and assuming the New overlord has the cash to splash there is no reason he can't prep Millertime with a budget so on July 1st he can cut loose with a pile of deals alrwady pre negotiated
