Butland close to signing. Why oh why?

No need to sign another goal keeper unless it is the intention to sell Kirkland for cash and free up his wages, but at this late stage I cannot see that happening. As for other signings I will be totally surprised if anyone comes in. With a Manager whose face and demeanour is totally a picture of sadness and gloom, would you want to come to the Wednesday. The mongers of doom and gloom around the place are being well led by our own manager. To me his tactics and nature are negative and as a result the lads will also feel and play that way. How about a change of character at the helm and get the lads playing with a smile on their faces and to the best of their ability.

Spot on. I've been saying that for months: long face imparts no enthusiasm to the players.

The only thing I would let Dave Jones sign is his resignation

this transfer deadline day sums up season - hopeless, boring and a waste of time!

Nobody is coming to Wednesday and I should know. Let's leave it at that. Thanks for the unbelievable support.

Dave Richards is a wednesday fan. He had a go and let's not forget he was in the hot seat when we were watching the best football team in our history. some people are blinded because he didn't keep Ron Atkinson on the 2nd time around, the same Ron Atkinson that although was superb for us did in fact lie to us and walked away. I wish I was going through the Richards era again because on the pitch it was superb. As for the Hulleys and Allens of this world I cringe at the thought and as for Mr Mandaric the honeymoon is over. spend or without doubt this squad will take us back 2 years.

Atkinsons side may be the best team in your history, an yeh they were great to watch. However Cattericks team were better. Also what about the teams that won the top division donkeys years ago

Isn't it exciting watching all the transfer news on tv knowing that there is NOTHING to get excited about at S6!

Come on MM you watch the games even you must admit we need at least 3 DECENT signings to make us competitive or it's League One again for us I fear

Go on then Mr NDS. With our limited budget who would you have signed instead? I think we have made some good signings within our limited budget and I am more than happy to not break the bank and risk the club again, yes we are lacking in a couple of areas but that can be covered by the loan market. I know you could name loads of names if money was no object but as I said who would you have signed with the budget we had.

Couldn't agree more. Too much negativity. We aren't going to win the league. Fact. Never were. However we are making progress with the squad but we can't afford proven talent at this level. We have the makings of a decent defence, given a while to gel they will be solid. Dave will dip into the loan market and get some young talent up front. We can't afford the fee or wages for the sort of strikers we want on a permanent deal. When will people get that, its simple economics.
Frankly I would rather we kept ourselves debt free than buying everyone. Obviously some people on here don't realise money doesn't grow on trees. We can't sack DJ. that costs money to pay him off and bring in a new manager.

Yes, he makes some interesting tactical calls, but when the team is low in confidence it's easy to point blame with hindsight. We scream for stability, then scream for change. Get in the stands and scream for Wednesday. WAWAW
