Salopian 1 Posted June 30, 2009 Clearly Butterworth''s hope of a signing by now has been dashed.This could be due to many things:1) Coyle, or someone else wasn''t available, was on holiday, needs a medical or can''t agree on terms.2) The mysterious scouting week by Gunny and Crooky opened up the possibility of one or more Scandinavian players, but international transfers cause extra problems and take time - remember Strihavka3) Final decisions on contract to youth and Lappin meant stalling a little on what was needed.4) Discussions, explorations are ongoing but until we know if Clingan/Hooly/Russell are going and how much we shall receive, it is difficult to make offers, or even decide between possible targets.5) Everyone is back from holiday, and things are hotting up. It makes things more urgent but also more protracted when any available player has perhaps three or four clubs to look at.There must be many more reasons and, even if we are becoming concerned because we have been here before, in our ignorance we have to be patient.
