I'd have said that was blindingly obvious that we are, wouldn't you?
Dont know ... they are not saying anything ! ( thats my point )
Problem is, i would guarantee it would end up like this:
Club: we are still working to bring in new faces this summer
Fans: very nice! Who did you have in mind to sign?
Club: we'd rather not say because of past reactions to previous announcements that have not materialised
Fans: what a b****y waste of an announcement then! Come one, it's us! Lerrus know what's happening!
Club: no sorry, we prefer to remain tight lipped till the deal is done
Fans: typical Mansfield, always telling us nowt and wasting our time with boring soundbites about nothing!
...eventually, after continued protests by the fans....
Club: Ok, we will give some details as to who might be on the cards for joining us
Fans: Brilliant! C'mon then, lerrus know!
Club: So we are in talks with players X, Y & Z but nothing is guaranteed
Fans: Brilliant about X & Y, so they'll be signing! Why the **** are you talking to player Z, he's a crock of s***e!
Club: We need player Z as he can play in several positions and he's within budget!
Fans: Same old Stags, always doing the cheap cut-price option! I won't support player Z till he's scored 50 goals, even though he's a goalkeeper
Club: Sorry but he's a necessary part of our squad. By the way, player X won't be signing due to personal reasons and we were outbid for player Y by a bigger club in the league above
Fans: But you told us they were signing!!!!!!! You absolute........
