So after years of thinking it was calderwood being incompetent on deadline day I feel the true cause of our frustration has emerged more so than ever........

MARK ARTHUR!!!!

This man is a joker. He essentially all but conceeded defeat yesterday in his quotes and today while everyone else around us are snapping up reinforcements for the final push, we continue to get snubbed. This man must have the negotiation skills of a mars bar!!!

Why is everyone panicking because we haven't signed a bunch of average journeymen players? Just because other clubs are throwing good money after bad doesn't mean we should too.

I remember exactly the same hysteria, doom and gloom last January and that season didn't end too badly did it :wink:

I am absolutely disgusted at our lack of signings. We clearly need additions. Everyone, including MArthur, knows this but YET AGAIN they FAIL to deliver. The same thing happened a few years ago when we let Southall go without replacing him and this inevitably f**ked up our season. If we get relegated because we won't put an extra few thousand on the table then I will be calling for his head...f*** that, if we don't sign anyone before 5pm, I will be calling for it today. How long do our fans have to put up with this shite? All the other clubs around us have strengthened, some heavily, and yet we have signed no one. Different manager, same old story. I can't wait for the excuses to come out tomorrow and the inevitable 'we still have the loan option', something that Davies has already stated he doesn't want to use. This club really is a joke sometimes. I hate this f***ing window. :mad:

Let's see , a new manager comes in , this is his choice of players he wants , MA steps in and get NONE at all. I can't imagine BD will be pleased.

Indeed. This was certainly the point where the Rob Jones move all went wrong.............

"We have made a substantial cash offer for Rob and the two chief executives are now talking over the deal," Davies confirmed to the Daily Record."

Well done Mark

If anyone is in the vicinity of Forest boss Billy Davies, please ask him to sign at least one player today. He'll make a very sad text commentator very happy indeed

There's this thing called the loan market. Billy will not leave us short-staffed.....chill out.

Anyone in business will tell you that deals ONLY fall apart if the money is not right! It is ALWAYS about the money as everyone has his price! :mad:

So, is it propaganda or just incompetence?

Every year the club tells fans it has targets and expectations, every year we do little more than irritate and offend clubs with unsatisfactory bids.

BD knows what is expected of him especially as he has stated that recruits are needed. I am confident something will happen in loan window even if it is the old...loan with a view to a transfer trick.

Apparantly all is not lost.

It can take time for the news to pass through especially on a busy day like today so to be fair admitadly clutching at straws, there still could have been deals done before 5pm yet have not gone through the news wires because of various reasons. As long as a transfer form is submitted before 5pm this can be done and then other details sorted...

Give it a couple of hours but I do think it's unlikely.

BD has always also said he would prefer to sign players in the summer. This is the ideal time for him to start building his team.

Therefore if the right players for the right price are not available now, then he would be better off using the loan window to get players on loan, with a view to signing them, and make all decisions on purchases in the summer.

Yes, he would prefer to sign players in the summer but when you're in our situation you sometimes have to change your way of thinking unless he wants to be rebuilding a League One side.

Also, Davies already stated that he didn't want to use the loan market but may not be given the choice due to the incompetance of the people above him.
