I looked forward to hearing about the newbies who would be pulling on the blue and white in 2025 However, all we have got was re-signings which isall good news But I think the angst from the fans is not for the lack of announcements but the lack of NEW faces 1

The club needs to get a grip and release a meaningful update - even if its ###### news! " It's the same across forumland - people have no patience. Which they have done this week. No social media posts for getting on for 3 days is a joke. I’ve had a quick look at other Championship clubs, and none are this poor. 1
The Phantom Horseman Posted November 14, 2024 Posted November 14, 2024 Here are a couple more posts, this time from the Oldham forum from last week: "Gone quiet again on the signings front. " "What's happened to all the hype about Drinkwater, Thornley and Ashurst joining OUR club? Was it just a sales gimmick to generate more season ticket sales? Come on Oldham say something!" One of those posters said on their forum yesterday after they had announced a couple of new signings "I genuinely feel that must be perhaps the strongest squad in the championship." It's November. 1 "I won’t engage in a debate because the above is correct and if anything else is stated to the contrary it’s incorrect."

Are you saying these signing don't count because they played for us last year? We all know most of the newbies' names thanks to the gossip websites, and they'll be announced whenever. Angst?? Really? 3 https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/
Monkeymagic22 Posted November 14, 2024 Posted November 14, 2024 It’s not just about a lack of signings, it’s the lack of any content, when compared to other clubs. I’ve said my peice though and will leave it at that.

bigbaldnmad Posted November 14, 2024 Posted November 14, 2024 People are frustrated, the club just don't seem to want to communicate anything to the fans. It's right to say it doesn't make any difference to the players who start the season, but there could be fans that feel if the club can't communicate why should I commit to a season ticket. I am sure there are lots of fans who if they are served up some of the dross we had last year will pick and choose which games they attend, when announcing the signings would no doubt bring optimism for next season. 1
Phil Briscoe Posted November 14, 2024 Posted November 14, 2024 The Chairman has said we’ve made some class signings for next year so I’m not worried about whether we’ll be competitive. What does frustrate and confuse me is that it’s pretty obvious that many of those signings have already been made, as stated elsewhere one of our new players knows he’s reporting for training next week. So why not officially announce them? I can’t see any logic in not doing so unless it’s for some contractual reason.

For what’s worth I do believe we will have one of the strongest squads- but this is as things stand. I am sure other clubs will be announcing signings shortly which will level up the teams. But teams are returning to training so squads should be being finalised before much longer. Edited November 14, 2024 by sheddingswasus

The odd ball Posted November 14, 2024 Posted November 14, 2024 Oh no secrets out. Percy signed a 1 year deal !
