From Despair To Where? I'd also add to my previous post that there are 2 players that we have reportedly agreed terms with; Theo Walcott, a player who has played and played well at a much higher level under our pending new manager, and Harvey Knibbs, a player with significant League 1 experience. This tells me that scouting and recruitment is being led by our management and scouting team and not some shady super agent with undue influence over the owner.
Hound What I do find a bit odd is how little anyone seems to know outside the club. Normally you at least get some rumours or inside knowledge of what’s going on being posted out, but other than Walcott and Knibbs really seems very very little
But they seem to have stopped the leaks for quite a while quite effectively

Its a shame the current local journos, media and radio, are probably the worst ever, as sports journalists they should be all over this instead of moaning on twitter like the fans.
And before anyone says, Charles Watts and Benji Nurick had plenty of inside contacts under the same regime.
From Despair To Where? I do think that the fact the Nationals aren't really picking up on it suggests that the situation isn't as perilous as some sections of our fanbase like to make out.
If this was all over the Nationals, I'd be very concerned.

Even JLow posted something out the other day which was as close as we’ve had to a rumour from a local (ex) journo.

Hound The club are actually posting a lot from Spain and have posted about outgoings so it’s not like it’s total silence

They haven’t said anything on either Jared Dublin or the 16 year old kid who was sold to Man City.

Honest question, would they normally? i.e. historically, not just this summer?
I may be forgetting things but have we previously announced 16 year old kids moving on from our Academy, fee or no fee?
I also don't recall there being previous announcments on backroom staff (outside immediate first team coaching staff) moving on either - again could be wrong.
windermereROYAL Non payment of wages has been removed from the list of charges levelled at us on the EFL site.
rabidbee No, it will only be posted to the Gazette if and when the club actually has been wound up.
I do wonder if we're all over-reacting slightly to all of this. The EFL site states that they've only been reporting these various transgressions, for the sake of transparency, for the last two years. That makes me wonder just how often these kinds of transgressions actually occur, and how often in the past they have all been dealt with between EFL and clubs without much if any of it ever becoming common knowledge. The club are being lambasted for incompetence, but we have no idea how often other clubs have been in similar breaches particularly if, for example, it's because the "breach" is actually mediation between two clubs because eg. a loan agreement is ambiguous.
