And we're doing enough to muddle through to then.
New manager then gets as clean a slate as possible to start with. |  |

If things carry on like this we will just be getting a new manager on the cheap - and praying. |  |

Chances of McCarthy ending up at Forest at the end of the season?
Wouldn't bet against it. |  | | |

Why does this signify we will getting a manager on the cheap?
ME has lost faith in MM and isn't giving him another penny, we have a 31 year old who wants a LT contract which isn't sensible either so can see the logic there.
It doesn't mean that ME isn't going to get a good quality progressive manager in to build a new team with decent funds to have a push towards the promised land. We can but hope!! |  | | |

Will be too late for many season ticket holders. This window is the last straw. |  | | |

It will be the hope that kills you.
Our owner can't close a deal for a decent player when he has an experienced manager telling him who to look to bring in.
The club is being stripped right back cost wise and I don't believe for a second it is to give the next guy more money - if that is the case why have we desperately been chasing Hugill and the like all window. Why waste the time? | |

Surely you contradict yourself there though - if Evans is cutting back all costs then why would be chasing Hugill?
I'm completely baffled as to what is going on also, but I'm not sure it's quite as simple as that! |  |

If we get through this window without bringing in a permanent striker than it's clear we aren't willing to pay market value.
I mistakenly said asset stripping earlier; but it's like we are trying to cut costs on everything with little residual value (Aging players etc) and don't mind spending on younger players who may be worth something.
On paper that doesn't look a bad idea, but football isn't played on paper and you need your experienced players. | |

I think the opposite. - far from losing faith in MM I think he is so confident in MM that he believes he can continue to keep the club level, with a possibility of promotion, on the same budget as previous.
Unless we're surprised and find that we spend some serious money in the next few hours I think it is perfectly clear that ME really isn't seriously concerned about funding us to get us into the Prem, or even to be a top Championship team - which to be honest I'd be quite happy with. |  |

That makes more sense
I still can't work out whether our transfer strategy is to try and get players on the cheap (which is sensible to some degree but unlikely to move us too far forwards), or deliberately underbidding on players to appease fans and in the full knowledge it will be rebuffed! | |

Any new mananger will be someone who is unemployed at the time. Evans won't go to a club and pay out compensation. |  | | |

I would be surprised if Evans wasted time deliberately underbidding. However, having been screwed royally in the transfer market by the combination of Keane & Corporal Clott, Evans has become very cautious & only seems willing to pay a fee for someone who might be sold on for a profit. Hence Webster, Ward & Rowe. |  |

That's exactly what I think. 'Oh we've put several million pound offers in for a number of players - just forget to mention that they have all been valued at £3m+,' That will keep our fans quiet...look at us putting in £1m offers for these £3m players that we have got no realistic opportunity of signing. Really surprised we haven't signed a player with pedigree. 'Don't worry MM, I'll give you a few thousand to spend on a couple of non league and out of contract players to prove we are serious in our backing of you!' I bet MM can't wait to leave, looking forward to the season ticket renewals, ME deserves everything he gets, I hope it's f*** all!! | |

Regarding the first Paragraph, it obviously can't watch us play if that were the case then. |  |

I am able to see some sense in what Mr E is doing and (more or less) forecast this before Christmas.
Aprt from LC possibly leaving there are no real surprises & on reflection the LC move could be good for him. | | | |
