If that's what you want to choose to believe be my guest
I choose to believe Mason saying directly in a press conference that not having a coach or DOF in place with a strategy means we can't be active in the transfer market.
If you choose to believe unsubstantiated rumours, with no sources quoted, from members of the media that have very recently been embarrassed by the Slot story, you be my guest.
Bless you.
Let's make a bet.
The following two things will come true:
We won't sign a player before we appoint a DOF and coach.
The players we are linked to will suddenly change once we have a DOF and/or coach in place.
You taking my bet wank fox?
I'm not taking that bet because I agree, we most probably won't sign a player before a DOF.
That doesn't mean the club aren't actively looking for players at the moment which you refuse to believe.
Anything free or cheap Levy collects, manager or not, can't help himself.
Think we were linked with him last summer. And the most important part… FREE.
But you do agree they can't start recruiting them until they have a DOF and coach in place?
My argument isn't about recruitment or negotiating though?
Obligatory 8 minutes of YouTube scouting and I’ve come to the conclusion that he actually looks quite good.
Can we recruit players without a DOF and Coach in place? (My argument is/was no)
Are our rivals already making deals and recruiting to their strategy before the window opens (My argument is/was yes)
Your original argument was against both of these points because the club is recruiting before with or without a DOF and coach.
No it wasn't, you've moved the goalposts
This was my OG argument and always been my stance

Well I for one am certainly proud 💪 Well yes, of course. We would have expected nothing less

And somehow you couldn't get your head around the fact the club are actively looking at players without a DOF and now you've changed it to recruiting

In that post you have linked there:
"And is it realistic that the staff currently in the front office would start positioning and negotiations for players ahead of the transfer window opening but without knowing what direction the.new DOF and manager want to go in?"
Exactly the same goalposts wank fox.
Positioning and negotiating ... recruiting.
Sure a scout can scout players without a DOF in place but who and what are they scouting for?
And even if they do scout the player, the club won't start recruiting them until a DOF and coach are in place.
Our competitors absolutely are doing that and they are doing that because the earlier you bring in the player the better. The more time that player has to adjust and adapt to what the coach wants.
This is possibly matters even more when it's a new coach and all the squad is adapting to what they want.
Oh dear...What kind of mental gymnastics is this ffs
Read the actual debate in full not from when you stuck your oar in and confused yourself.
I didn't mention anything about recruitment, you did - you literally just said it yourself here ffs lol

Or.... The reports in tbe media about player interest are completely fabricated BS. At best an agent had spoken to the club about a player when we had a DOF and we liked them then, so said agent is now informing media that we like the player? If that's what you want to choose to believe be...

Mr Levy club
Really suprised he's only clocked 200mins.... The few times I've seen him he looked great.

Try again. The post you chose to link, was you replying to the quote I just used.
He’s actually a good player, though not the Israeli player I would recommend for us.
But I doubt it. Why buy a player when we don’t know who’s going to be our manager.
Yes correct the post I linked was a reply to your answer at the time, I cannot make this any easier for you.
Yet 3 weeks later you're still confused...
