Would’ve been targets all along but probably the sort of transfers that have to be done very late in the window. |  |

I’d be more inclined to view it as a manager recognising that not every signed player turns out as you’d hoped / wished for, and having recognised the problem, is doing something about it. |  |

Very true. I suspect some people on here have conveniently overlooked Cook’s comment a week or so ago that “ the captain might not even be here yet” , thereby indicating that more specific targets were still on the radar. Some just don’t get this rebuilding or work-in-progress thing , do they ! |  |

Also when he's been talking about once the window closes, they can then concentrate etc he's clearly known he wasn't finished in the window. |  |

I agree with this, the two I wanted were crooks and morsy so not dissapointed if we were to get one, both very good players, |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

If you care to look at the table this weekend you’ll see two other clubs. Lincoln and Charlton, who finished 5th and 7th respectively, whilst we finished 9th, last season. Now, given that we have had a COMPLETE turn over of playing staff and back room staff, and they have had nowhere near this amount of upheaval ( if any), does this not make you feel slightly foolish? Because it should! |  |

Morsy and Walton on 17:01 - Aug 29 with 2048 views | chicoazul | They would be amazing signings and a huge uplift in quality, and a statement of strong support for Cook. Who would in turn have absolutely no excuse at all for not succeeding this season. |  |

Morsy and Walton on 17:02 - Aug 29 with 2043 views | wkj | Morsy seems much more possible than Walton does. Walton seems to have a number of people lining up to sign him from the leagues above. Not impossible, but this one has to be taken with a big grain of salt. |  |

All paying customers are entitled to their opinions, clearly many on this forum do not see this. Mr Cook burnt down the house and now appears to be struggling to rebuild it. Unfortunately by throwing out the baby with the bath water we have very little understanding of what the clubs issues have been and what caused them. Unfortunately we rely on a man who has been here 6 months and tells us they were all t1ssers. Theres 2 sides to every story and in the months and years ahead the stories of players who have left could be an interesting read. |  | |  |

Morsy has been linked with us since the end of last season. [Post edited 29 Aug 2021 17:16]

We’ve been after Walton ever since Cook has been here, but was repeatedly told he was off to the championship. Only been the last few days that the opportunity has presented itself again … and Walton is open to it also. |  |

Hopefully the players don't see that as a negative as I'm sure they'd be looking at just one year at this level. |  |

An interesting thought Season Ticket holders are what supporting the club upfront.. Anyone buying tickets thereafter....... it doesn't have terms and conditions that show wins are part of the show or success follows entry to the ground. People can do what they like, it's their choice....... but you can't really say it's because you're paying customers, as you're getting what you paid for. |  |

If you'd read my post correctly I referred to all paying customers and not just season ticket holders. |  | |  |

yes im aware, but paying doesn't mean you opinion is more valid than someone that doesn't. You pay to watch a game off football. Results, performances etc aren't included in the price. |  |

I support Cook but he has no excuse now. This is his squad and it's a damn good squad for league one. If he fails, no one can say it was due to not being backed. |  |

Agree. But he should be given until at least Xmas, assuming we've not been on a horrible run beforehand. Can't let him build his squad then get rid after 7 or 8 games |  |
