    Ah but many come on here and the Herald and complain when there is silence. They can't win.
    Lee said at the start it would be a prudent first season. This off season will be telling.

    The only people who complain about 'silence' from the Herald are the same dopes that believe the stuff they write anyway.

    The hell I care about any of those people?

    CEO should be announcing signings, not intentions.

    There's prudent then there's neglectful. A sign of intent in first season would have gone a long way to allaying fan concerns and made the club a more attractive proposition for future signings. Instead, team is horrible, half of them are gone or going and even if he does throw more money at the side, we'll have another season of mediocrity on the back of the huge turnover we're going to have.

    Perfect world you right

    But the Chinese Lightsalesman​ did say he was going to do what he said this season

    Hopefully the review of the club is complete and he aware and committed to the necessary change

    Time will tell

    Don't worry they will tell us they have all this intent to spend money and sign players but then follow it with something along the lines of "but they have to be the right fit for our team" and we all know what that means!

    Our Chinese assistant coach is the make or break here, his more then a cone collector, I'd say he has a direct line to the Ledmans office supplying more information then how nice our beaches are, I say he has a list of needs and wants as long as my arm

    Gardiner is on twitter today saying that our interest has cooled on Thwaite.

    Probably the other way around after seeing the defensive display the last 2 weeks...

    Don't tell me it's another publicly named bloke who we are 'trying' to convince our fans we are after only to have it amount to nothing?

    Shocker.

    and isn't it only officially a crock of shit once Ray Gatt officially chimes in?

    I'll wait for 'respected journalist' Ray before blindly nodding along.

    Terry Venables and Stan Collymore probably got in his ear.

    FBK told a Victory fan after the game in Brisbane that he's not staying, saying specifically it was not about money but because Muscat didn't want him. He also said his family wanted to stay in Melbourne.

    So he's coming here. The famed Newy lifestyle will triumph on the family front.

    I can't wait. He'll be almost as good as Hoole.

    How long is Brandan going to be out and is he signed for next year? Watch City come in for him

    Has anyone posted an off-contract list for us to fap over for the last few weeks of the season?

    At least give us something to do until we just resign pretty much everyone who's off contract here again and replace our visa players with unknown imports?

    What though does bother me with who we linked with.

    We seem to have our foreigners more or less locked in if all these rumours get up


    O Caravan
    FBK
    Chilean Suarez
    Chinese Neymar
    Plus we already have under contract
    Kokko
    Wayne Brown

    Dont leave much room


    Considering getting these positions right or closer to right than we normally do can see us bridge the great divide i struggling to understand what the hurry is to get these blokes sortec
