Thinking about it the signings aren't all bad:
Nielson- Rated highly in Denmark, never know could do a job here.
N'Gotty- old but did do it at this level last season, has played in europe with ac milan.
Carl Cort- once a 7million player, hampered by injuries could come good if he stays fit
Sappleton- Only 17, was wanted by premiership teams.
Hellings- once a 2 million euro player only 22
MA has taken some major risks in signing these players on more then 1 year deals. But surely if MA is the man for the job he will get the best out of these players.
Ok Mandy hasn't spent any cash out of his pocket YET but there is still time, the season doesn't start till August. Could be another 5-10 players coming into the club. Carl Cort & N'Gotty can't be on bad wages, so surely MA will have a higher wage budget then RK did.
I don't see what the negativity is about, there is still plenty of time. Remember as the great man, Craig Levien used to say, "negativity will not get us promoted!"
