You’ve no idea what I do or don’t know. Don’t be so presumptuous.
What we all know is that we’ve not assembled the squad we would all like. We also know that time, though not out, is short. As of today, we also know that the manager believes us to be behind other clubs in two out of three of our main targets.
Could it all work out? Yes, of course and I very much hope it does.
Unlike many on this forum, I am prepared to believe that it will not and I worry about the consequences. Truly, I wish I was as good a supporter as you. My life would have fewer dark clouds and more rainbow-unicorns in it. Count your blessings.
In fairness, the rainbow unicorns are too high maintenance but otherwise it is wonderful on this side of the fence!
I'm clearly one of the few that are more positive than most, but generally there is a fairly large middle ground where most people worry that we are going to go into the beginning of the season like we went into the last one, and we all know how that turned out.
Reasons why I'm confident.
We picked up Fosu and Gorrin against interest from other teams.
We are genuinely looking at some players of a standard higher than we've seen in decades. We are able to compete with all clubs in this league, and whilst that has no guarantees, I'd rather be in that position than picking up scraps.
The training ground and new pitch genuinely make a difference. Players have been massively impressed with our set up.
Reasons to worry.
We have 16 days to go until we play Sunderland.
Despite everything we're doing right, we still need to get the players to sign on the dotted.
Just being in here makes me anxious!!
Keep the faith, I really believe that things will happen soon.
