Because we are having problems even convincing that James lad from Swansea, a Championship club to come join us? Why has no deal been announced by now? Real has less of job to do compared to us and yet they have announced Militao and Jovic already. Even Chelsea, a club banned from transfer has the better sense and wrap up Pulisic already. Us? Even the DOF position Ed PROMISED us that we'd employ one properly before we have a permanent manager is nowhere to be seen. How can you expect us to believe in our club when we have been fed empty promises all these years?
And if us fans feel that way, imagine the professional players in the business? How would they want to come to a club not only disarray but also have developed a habit of lying to their own fans? How can they trust a project pitched by people who are well-known for empty promises?
