or is the lack of news surrounding players coming or going scarily quiet.? There are no noises from the club mentioning players, McClaren hasn't sorted his back room staff yet, is Birch still there? And they want us to buy season tickets and shirts. Perhaps no news is good news?
Have been thinking that myself surrey chad! I would have expected by now that at least a CB and a striker would have been sorted, otherwise we are going to get into the same old problem of players arriving but not fitting in well for a couple of matches. Could it be because the Board has specified that players must be offloaded first?

I think that there are a few issues,
1. We simply are not going to spend money so looking for out of contract players so will be competing with lots of other clubs 2. We are simply not seen as a serious challenger for promotion so the better players will simply not come to us 3. We still don't have a confirmed management team yet 4. Players are still to return from holidays yet so might be hard to get discussions under way. 5. I am talking crap and its all just one big secret as the owners / higher management don't want to let anyone know who they are going after (which we have said makes sense to do)
You can make a case for all your 5 point's CHAD. But my mate who's mate works for saracens. Tells him their services have again been retained by QPR for medicals. But this maybe just a precaution.
It could just be that as we are about to enter our 4th consecutive season in the second tier we aren't in the news as much now. We aren't big news like in the Harry days when money was flashing about so we were linked with everybody.
Now there are less media tracking us or bothered about us enough to report anything.
Sorry to see that Birch has now left. In respect of signings I think we will be looking at mainly free transfers and it might just be that most contracts run out at the end of June and the club is reluctant to confirm anything until the player is a free agent.
