This surprises and worries me too Stan but surely after another nothing season the shitt will hit the fan,so to speak. What is your take on how we are progressing, is it the boards fault?

If there is progression it's only visible via time lapse photography and there's only Mr Henry to blame for that.
That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

We are getting progressively worse as every season goes by under BR and FSG.
It's pretty obvious that we have no money to spend despite claims by Ayre, Rodgers and FSG.
We were told that we had enough money to bring in Mkhitaryan, but since then nothing has actually happened, no new signings and no realy quality being linked, what happened with the 20 or so million that we had spare.
It is all very dependent on Suarez leaving as to who we sign as we are very much in a sell to buy situation and as clubs keep making low offers for our players or loan deals, we are left with empty pockets and our targets are going elsewhere. This all stinks of deadline week signings again or "we have exciting news" here's Assaidi to shut you up whilst we panic.

Yeah that’s about it Spice, but I don’t blame Rodgers for the lack of quality signings, he already signed the cheap players in pretty sharp time, as per the recruitment policy to strengthen the squad. Since then he, Ayre Gerrard and in a different way Suarez, have all called for 3 or 4 quality players to strengthen the 1st 11, but there’s little sign of it happening so far. Clearly there’s a reluctance on FSGs part to compete for the level of quality we need. Rodgers also indirectly criticised whoever it was doing the negotiations on the Mkhitaryan purchase, saying that had he got a chance to talk to him he might have been able to convince him to join us. The blockage would seem to be financial and that’s FSGs doing, not Rodgers

Unless we make one or two quality signings i 'd say we've stood still..again,but on the bright side the wage bills gone down..Yey! Normally I would say that in the Premier League, standing still is the same as going backwards. City found that out last season - they didn't add any real quality to their squad over the summer, and United clawed their way back pretty easily. But has anyone around us really improved this summer? Arsenal have done f*ck all despite the massive amount of hot air coming from North London. Everton have lost their manager and brought in Wigan's cast-offs. In all likelihood, they'll lose Fellaini before the summer's over, and possibly Baines as well. Spurs have lost a promising center-back and look like they're about to lose their Golden Boy. Even United haven't really done much. The only side that has brought in real, proven quality is City. Chelsea have made some interesting moves in Schurrle and Van Ginkel, but who knows whether they'll actually cut it in England. My point is that our summer has been no better or worse than any of the other teams near the top of the table, with City being the only real exception. And in any event, a lot can happen in a month. I don't think our summer is finished, not by a long shot.

I don't think our summer is finished, not by a long shot. I think you haven't noticed players bought by Spurs already. Fair dues, Paulinho looks excellent and Soldado could be very good as well. Chadli is basically their version of Assaidi. And I think that losing Bale could be a pretty significant blow for them. So yes, they've brought in quality, but that could be more or less offset by losing Bale.
