This has been a challenging window so far for #NUFC, there is an acknowledgement of that. But I'm told there is an expectation the club will be very busy between now and Feb 1.
The work is tireless to improve. And I think we can all appreciate that.
#NUFC owners wanted majority of deals done early. They got 2 - & I think they did well to get that many, in such a short, challenging, crazy window. Of course, they wanted more.
They now expect things to go much later, but ideally not too late, as sellers refocus their thinking.
January is normally about tweaks to a squad. #NUFC need a near complete rebuild.
And there remains a real confidence transfer committee of EH, JT, AS & SN - tasked with implementing extensively-planned transfer blueprint - will get job done this month.
Patience/faith required.
Finally, some claiming #NUFC lack expertise re brokering deals? On a different planet compared to a few short months ago.
Swapped Charnley's 'kill the deal' approach after MA's 'make it look like we're doing something' orders for Staveley. A shrewd, thorough operator. Night/day.
& while I've got #NUFC attention. Please don't @ owners with your emotional mess if angry. It's not big/clever/remotely normal.
We should be able to have nice things. Their social media transparency is such. If you feel it coming on, grab a cuppa/tek the dog oot. Be sensible.
