However her main remit tonight is if we do have any potential players at the club to not let them see what's happening on the pitch....! [Post edited 31 Jan 2017 16:26]

By the end of the day they'd sold him and brought in two replacements in Suarez and Andy Carroll | |

More deals Town were trying to get done rather than in the process of doing. Obviously the longer things drag on the less likely it is that anyone will come in. | | | |

Did they have a game that night though? While I think there's still time to announce a deal or 2, the OP is right, Mick will be getting his head in the zone for the match from about now I would think. Doesn't stop others working on them of course. | |

Indeed, it will be out of MM's hands by now If deals are trying to be done they have his blessing, it's mainly admin if you get to the stage where a player has discussed terms etc? | |

Presume if any bids had been accepted etc, any terms would be thrashed with the player and his agent by Evans/Milne, with Webb then processing the relevant paperwork. Still, we won't sign anyone, i'm pretty much resigned to that now. | |

I envisaged him running around the reduced aisle of a super market just before it closed looking for damaged tins and near to off fruit. | | | |

shock - Come on Phil did you honestly believe that the club was going to spend a few million this window. It was all spin or at best chancing their arm. Its like trying to buy a £1m house for £200k. Tonight will be toxic if we lose and it looks set to get worse without any "experienced Championship" players coming in which is what MM wanted, Chambers leaving and Bent no doubt scoring a few passed us. To be fair its been on the cards all season and certainly since September. The club has shown no ambition. The last window was a disaster, but we were told there was money to bring in players this window. The club has failed and now the fans can see the truth that its all spin. To think some thought that the last window was a success?!? The signing of Williams masked the truth really we many fans believing the injury prone player to be the saviour of the season, the majority could see it was going to be a long hard season. Should we be surprised where we are? Not really. Evans has been putting less and less into the player side of the club for a number of years. He wants to do it with a mixture of luck and cheap signings and hope that with the kids it pays off. In reality league 1 looks more likely and given our budget that a real possibility. | | | |

Not 100% definitively, it might be he's left out if there is still a conversation going on but hasn't finally decided. I'm resigned to losing him today though which will be ridiculously stupid. | |

Mick will announce it in his post match interview, just after he's told us that we've signed Hugill | |

Yes, there's really no rationale to explain it, other than that ME is planning for life without MM - but even then it seems a poor decision. As Joe has said, you need to leave a new manager with something. | |

The timing is dreadful, in the Summer far less of an issue. To lose the club captain, our only real leader on the pitch, now leaves us really short. To say nothing of the message this, coupled with the apparent inability to replace Murphy, has on the club. That goes for other players as much as the fans. | |

it really does feel like the club is slipping further and further backwards , just staying in the Championship will become the new target , rather than looking for a top 6 place . These last 2 transfer windows have been so poor ,the fans can now see the reality of where the club is going and that their promises mean nothing How the hell are they going to get season ticket holders to believe all their hype when they have been let down so often . Promises to replace Murphy have proved to be false over 2 transfer windows now , Loans of Fraser and Lawrence have saved us from an even worse situation . | | | |

Yep. We won't continue to keep getting lucky with loaned such as Fraser and Lawrence and then what?? | | | |
