I was a fan of Sam Hart when he was here. Also recently at Southend. Humphrys sent him a tweet when he was released from Blackburn. Him and another striker would be a great step. | |

I do hope they're right regarding Oldham though.. | | | |

Me also. Actually preferred him to Humphrys. Hope I'm plain wrong on the latter. Add in SL's "maybe" and we'd be as good to go as we ever will be on a real budget and with other clubs in a very uncertain season where literally anything could happen. One thing to ponder - a fast start may be vital if the season is curtailed again and ppg is invoked.

Do we know if a minimum number of games have to have been played before ppg can be invoked in the event the season is finished early? | |

Great news that we've managed to sign Humphreys. Well done to all involved.
One more striker, and a decent left back now, and we will be ready for the season with a fighting chance of staying up. | | | |

Seconded.
The sudden cash boost of season ticket sales and Dawson transfer add ons have put the club in a more able position to sign players, I should imagine. | |

No idea James. The Euros should give a backstop to the 20-21 season but we saw what happened this year. My impression is that everything about how we live our lives is being made up on the hoof. Mostly by necessity. Idiomatically, crossing bridges when we come to them is going to be the order of the day for quite a while. Especially if we draw Chelski away in the FA Cup  | |

If people haven't listened yet the Big EFL Preview podcast has some interesting insights into the effect the new wage restrictions are having on the transfer market.

Some cracking goals there, not many tap ins. | | | |

The great thing about SH is he really fits the bill. Exciting, young prospect who’s actually scored quite a few goals. Whatever the outlay is, one good season & he will treble in value. Really pleased with this signing & fully believe we’re only a LB & an experienced older forward away from a squad we could only have dreamed of in July. Well done to BBM & the board in getting this over the line. | | | |

Maybe add a young quick attacking loanee to that list. Baah and Tavares are the only options at the minute. | |

Going to guess that if less than 50% of games have been played the season will be null and void. As far as FA cup ties go that would be a great bridge to have to cross. Especially if away fans are allowed to attend. | |

Your right they are under a transfer embargo. My nephew follows them closely and has said the money will be invested in the HMRC.
The nephew believes preparations are underway for a drop to the conference, but in the hope they dodge it.
Plenty knock our board and particularly our asbsent chairman, but their chairman dominates the club. He is a property developer and that is not his only resemblance to Donald Trump. in The scheme of things our board is pretty decent. | | | |

I see mr negative is at it again on Facebook (I’ll not leave it on there, no), slating the club for a (hopefully) good signing and insisting we should have given Hendo a similar length of contract. Maybe, just maybe, this might work out better financially in the long run for future transfers/wages but let’s not let that get in the way of bitterness, eh?
Really sad that some people always seem to thrive on negativity. [Post edited 11 Sep 2020 12:41]

Couldn’t agree more. I think the last few years where we have become so totally reliant on Hendo has stifled others. If Hendo leaving has freed up much needed funds in the budget to bring in 4 players on our newly reduced budget, it could prove to be a brilliant decision in the long run. It could also massively backfire but it certainly seems a gamble worth taking. I’m just glad we’re sat at the table, cards in hand! | | | |

Maybe Henderson just didn't want to stay with us any more, which came through in the negotiations... | |

I agree, and not just due to financial considerations. With O'Connell as captain, i'd expect to see greater on-field game management and just perhaps, greater unity in the squad as a whole
It's not that i think the squad was disunited before, simply that it'll be enhanced now | |

Poppycock!
Without knowing the facts I’m going to blame the board regardless. | |

Happy with Humphreys. The fact that we appear to be paying a fee for him is even better. Well done to the board. Would love us to try and sign Sam Hart if possible. | | | |

Aye, there’s 2 of them in particular. One of which is a bit of a dumbass to be honest and is better off just completely ignoring. The other will write paragraphs of negativity. He’s been complaining about the lack of investment for months/years, now the board have spent he’s complaining about the fact that they have had money all along and he was right all along!! It’s ridiculous. I get that people have opinions, but to constantly complain and have a go at the board makes you wonder why they even bother supporting the club! If there was ever an example of a guy who is a ‘glass half empty’ it’s that guy! | |

Have I missed something....are we still awaiting confirmation that SH has actually signed for Dale?
Why the delay? | | | |

I think I saw it on the Rochdale AFC Appreciation page, there’s Rochdale AFC Fanbase too. Probably others. To be honest, there’s a lot of twerps on there and it’s often best to ignore. A lot of it is cringeworthy and you just hope that players/staff etc don’t see the drivel being spouted. It’s unlike this board as the majority of stuff on here is generally reflective of reality. | |
