One-way street "But of course the transfer window is far from closed and there is still a month to go. We have interests in other players, too, so it's not going to be a one-way street." Derek Chappell continues to undo all the trust that Alwyn, Norris, Simons, Stevens, Ufton, Richard Murray and others had tirelessy built with the clubs fans over a couple of decades.

Jerome Thomas is the latest player to bid farewell and there could be others this week, and maybe not just Faye and ZZ. Pardew is being used as a mouthpiece in all of this, and understandably using it to gain support from the fans as the squad is rattled down to skeleton staff. Yes both Bouazza and Bailey have joined, but then both Sinclair, a pointless signing if ever there was one, and one that I am sure draws some finger-pointing from the boardroom and Stuart Fleetwood left yesterday for Cheltenham for three months, news than wasn't quite interesting enough to make the Official Site.

As for Jerome Thomas, love him or hate him, he was along with ZZ, our last player of Premiership quality. Martin Cranie coming the over way may have softened the blow a bit mind.

As I said before, we deserve more from both Derek Chappell and Steve Waggott, although I have received a reply from Waggott's PA about my email in May. It doesn't say much but I will comment on that later or over the weekend.

We know the club is in trouble financially but 15,000 season ticket cheques and the parachute payment did arrive on the door mat in the summer, so are we in a worse financial state than Watford or Sheffield United, and if so, then why? With the supporters director role ended, we need some dialogue from the face-less wonders that have invaded our football club.  ¶ 08:13
