So why ????

So why are the club signing players already without a new manager

?

Seems to me that the new manager will have to have whats given to him, not what he actually wants to build his own team AGAIN !!
JUST AN OBSERVATION

They would say that, but still no manager though doesnt seem the right thing to do really.
But I hope Toko turns out to be a good player for us

Have I missed something, or are we only on one player moving in? It's hardly like the squad's been packed out and the whole budget spent.

If you read the piece on the OS, you may understand.

Erm...he was signed before the end of the season, when we had a manager.

Would have been frustrating for TB though if he had missed out on opportunity to sign him having tracked him already.

Simple answer. Some people just like to moan. Why bother supporting the club if you're always going to be so anti everything they do?

...is the correct answer.

Still need 7 signings + 0-4 more depending on how many of those offered contract extensions actually sign.

So the new manager has a lot of recruitment still to do.

Did you miss this season, it's not been a secret that OG was not involved in signings at any point

Whether the club signed him under OG or without a manager, the bottom line is the same. We have a new player who has been signed without the manager who will need to decide whether he wants him or not. Its the manager who will fail or succeed and so it should be his team. Long term projects are / should be revenue, ground capacity, extending the Albion brand even further to make this club bigger and better. The team on the pitch is there to win football matches and is always relatively "short term". The manager picks the side and sets the tactics, it should also be him who sticks his neck on the line with players we sign so that there is direct accountability for the team. Give him help sure but the bloke who picks the team should surely be spending the playing budget otherwise there is nobody accountable for the side on the pitch. Otherwise the manager will blame the bloke that bought the players and the bloke that buys the players will blame the manager when it goes wrong and when it goes right, they will both take the credit.

Good as it doesn't concern you. You have a habit of poking your nose in, in non Palace threads. You know the rules so stick to them..

So if this guy turns out to be an absolute star, whoever the manager is. Would you rather we missed the opportunity to purchase………for nothing?

That's the new quality standard introduced by Bozza in an attempt to raise the level of debate on here.

Everyone has the right to be stupid; you were just abusing that right.

I read some where that we had been interested in him since January.

Assuming you're being ironic as OG, TB & DB all said tontine contrary, on more than one occasion.
