Nobody is saying let's wait until the end of august.
Some of us seem to realise that we had 3 quarters of our pre-season taken up by the takeover, and as such we have no hope in hell of getting off to as good a start as others.
Let's not forget also, that there is a strong possibility that any players we enter negotiations with will already be in advanced talks with other teams, and as such we will automatically be in a weaker position.
