Meh. A twice-capped Croatian keeper. Double meh.

Trying to do things on the cheap. That's why we're bottom of the bloody league in the first place!

I'm losing the will to live. Can someone wake me up from this shitfest in July 2017 when we are joint top of the PL?

I think it's called INERTIA

The promises of Fox, allegedly verbatim from Lerner, have proved like blowing dandelions.
Lost in the wind of sycophantic and patronising twaddle.

We had 2 main courses to go, we've done neither.

1) Prepare for the inevitable future
2) Get high-priced mercenaries that deliver

Inertia and discord already in the 'pretend' boardroom.

Jesus Wept.

Premier league clubs never get rejected for work permits.

Haven't Arsenal and Liverpool just got them for players who have never played internationals and are further out of the EU than member state Croatia?

Can we not find an Italian grandfather like Arsenal seemed to with half their signings from non EU countries.

Leicester got one for Amartey didn't they. I think a law that has been bent or stretched many, many times for others, has been applied like a vice here. I feel sorry for Garde.

I bet he gets a permit in the summer for another side in the Prem and ends up being one of the best in the league too. It is our bloody luck.

I'm guessing this is one of the many reasons  why having someone with football industry experience and  a reputation in the administrative side of the game would be a huge help to the Club.

Campbell ~ Arsenal - rejected ~ sent on loan abroad to qualify

Newcastle ~ under Pardew's  reign ~ 2 players rejected...can't spell their names and don't even know if they ever came back

Reading, Watford, etc have all had to do the Arsenal 'trick' of loaning out rejected  players  who have had failed work permits.
All Prem clubs at the time.

Possibly more, but who cares ??

Please do facts and not patronising us fans.

It will be a couple in by deadline, don't worry folks. Players/agents/club are keeping options open til deadline or til someone shows their hand.

Won't keep us up but will make it more interesting for a while.

Jeez man.... are you real ?

The tail end of ANY transfer window is the result of desperation for 3/4th choices.
Getting anyone in scenario ~~~  which, thank God is not Remi.

He was promised, publicly, support for his targets in this window.

Fox did a blurb about how Lerner was on-the-ball and financially supportive of Remi's hopes... blah blah...

Loads of rumours and "agent-sponsored" media talk...all through the window...but NOTHING.

This last week is the real end of any transfers...nothing  outside the "Super Clubs"  is going to happen at our level.

Maybe a Championship side gets a Prem Reserve player on Jim White's SKY countdown.
WE...well, we will get nothing.

Remi is hung out to dry imo, and he will become a brilliant manager in a tomorrow.

But not with this Owner and his confused Board appointments.

Seriously mate, can you just post normally without all the dots and squiggles?

[alftitimus]

I will try to be vague....
.......................

It MAY have happened~~~ that there was a serious argument between Fox and Hollis
Verbal abuse and broken cups picked up later.
Wasn't about the team, was about Hollis asking....then ordering Fox out of his
" office," and  "Perk-Box".

Don't know what happened after that row and don't know what "box" Fox had as a 'perk'

Brilliant new Board though       ....and I may have sacked an employee....to do this post...but she goes back to Uni in Feb~~  and is a Gooner anyway

Bit early to be on the wacky backy

So in the unlikely event that anybody from the club is reading this and the even more unlikely event that they can actually understand what you are saying due to your horrendous use of English - you've decided to not only pass something on that you think might get somebody sacked, but in quantifying that you've decided to list various clues as to precisely who that person might be.

Top work.

And he could post something which is not utterly ridiculous while he's at it.
