We need big changes at this club and fast, its Jan 21st and we've signed one player (a winger, where we have plenty) . we need serious reinforcements at the 2 vital ends of the pitch, at least 2 strikers and at least 2 defenders. The problem is, a lot of the players we could have or should have gone for have moved on. Perfect signing would have been a loan for Gary Hooper, now at Sheff Wed and looks like he'll sign permanently. Connor Washington another, more of a punt but if we'd have acted fast we could have signed him earlier in the window. I really question Moxey's negotiation skills, as over the years we've missed out on pretty much every single key signing and gone for 2nd 3rd or 4th choice. Key examples are Primary Target: Billy Sharp, Sign: Andy Keogh. Primary Target: Adam Lallana, Sign: Andrew Surman, Primary Target: Scott Dann, Sign: Roger Johnson
Its also rumored that we rejected the chance to sign Nathaniel Clyne when he was younger. Primary Target: Craig Gardner, Sign: Nenad Milijas, Primary Target: Callum Wilson, Sign: Leon Clarke The list goes on. I understand we cannot always sign the 1st name, BUT why are our 2nd and 3rd choices so far off the mark? I think the sooner Moxey is gone the better. I also think Jackett is slightly out of his depth but cannot judge properly due to the restrictions he's had to work under.

We need a clear out top to bottom and the only way that will happen is with a new owner. If there isn't a new owner out there get use to the mediocracy were seein now for the foreseeable!

Stu I keep saying it but Moxey did exactly the same at Stoke!
It was only when he left did they endup getting out of Div 1 and onwards and upwards - Fact.

Can't wait till these muppets running our f. c. are replaced, Morgan as got to be tightest owner of our f. c. with the amount of money he as.
How on earth can you play championship football with 1 striker and he IS on loan.
If the club is not taken over and Morgan does not spend any money you watch the crowds drop next season because you can only stand so much and the 2 M's are takeing the Micky.

It's been mentioned above and by myself and many others on these pages, Moxey is at the heart of every decision that affects the club and as it looks it's always poor decisions, poor after poor, its no coincidence that moxey leaves stoke and they go on an upward spiral as soon as he has vacated his office.
We as fans need to make it clear that the blame is being laid squarely at his door.
Apathy is strangling this once great club and moxey is happily sitting in the shadows knowing that most of the blame falls at kj and Morgan's feet, yes it's Morgan's toy and yes it's kj who picks and coaches the team but it's moxey who has the power at the club and as long as he has that power we won't go anywhere other than backwards.

It's ironic all those lucrative Five year contracts given out to the big earners (Ohara, Johnson etc) a few years ago never landed Moxey his P45 amongst a lot of other poor decisions made in his tenure as Chief Exec? I'm sure in any other business he would be long gone.
What a shambles. It's time one of the M's made a statement of intent to the fans and not just a smoke screen to push the early bird numbers up. KJ has already been the front man for the disappointment of no signings with his "right player, right price" article.

trust me for the 1st time in ages fans will vote with their feet come early bird time when only 12-15000 turn up at best then the powers that be will see that u can't treat the fans in such an arrogant way such as like we are being now.
