Luton Outlaws - Independent Message Board for Luton Town FC

It is not as easy to put it down to the recruitment team, particularly as some of our "failures" have gone to teams higher up in the chain and are performing well. Also, the recruitment team will be working under restrictions placed on them by the board. They will come up with a number of players for the positions needing reinforcements. It is not the recruitment teams issue if we try to play hard ball, offer ridiculously low transfer fees and/or wages so that we can't land any of the players on the initial list. This is almost certainly why we see a flurry of activity at the 11th hour on transfer deadline day, particularly where we have parted company with players before securing replacements.

Obviously, there have been many poor signings but how many of these would have been 1st, 2nd or even 3rd on the list of potential targets?

The problem sits elsewhere
