Yes but you've said that in every single preseason since 1986

Yes and been proved right quite a few times. Unfortunately this may be the worse season so far just look at the facts so far :
8 players left and rumors one more on his way
1 new player signed with only 4 more to sign plus loan players
All coaches jumped ship
Internal cheap option regarding youth coach
No sign of Sam's number 2
Sam has no experience of running a team in the league
Sam appears to say one thing but do another e.g. friendlies
Sam says he has contacts yet to be proved
No sign of any new players with preseason a week Friday next

I could go on but it doesn't look too good so far but I will like everyone else give Sam a chance but I am still really concerned about the lack of action which can be read that Sam is way out of his depth or he is just waiting to sort things out his way time will tell.

Some of these things are 'facts', as in factual events that are undeniable. But the interpretation you put on them is just your opinion based on nothing other than your own assumptions. You may be right but there isn't really a way of knowing.

8 players left and rumors one more on his way- the players who left were not offered contracts and most would not quibble with them going anyway. Wedgebury left for quite understandable reasons- something that happens quite often at this level. Unsubstantiated rumours about other players are just rumours until something happens.
1 new player signed with only 4 more to sign plus loan players - still plenty of times to sign players whatever any one else says. The manager has explained why he is taking his time over signings. It's up to individuals to decide if that is acceptable or not. Obviously you do not.
All coaches jumped ship- A couple of coaches have rejoiced their old manager. Not everyone has left.
Internal cheap option regarding youth coach- continuity is usually seen as a good thing in most professions. If no-one ever got promoted what sort of message is that?
No sign of Sam's number 2- yet. Preseason hasn't started yet.
Sam has no experience of running a team in the league- we've had managers with experience of running teams.in this league and it hasn't worked. All the managers with the best records for us down here havr had no dirext experience of managing at this level. Persobally I wouldnt want some old journeyman conference manager.
Sam appears to say one thing but do another e.g. friendlies- presumably he doesn't make all the decisions himself. I also personally struggle to see the issue with pur PSFs
Sam says he has contacts yet to be proved- maybe give him time?
No sign of any new players with preseason a week Friday next- you've said yourself we aren't looking to make that many signings. We've signed Young, we've also signed all the players who were offered new contracts. Those count whatever some people say. Players like Holroyd could have found themselves other clubs.

I cannot comprehend why some people seem.intent on portraying us as a club in disarray with the rats fleeing a sinking ship- nailed on for relegation. I don't understand the mindset and the if I thought like this every preseason is probably pack in following football and go and do something else instead. It sounds exhausting being so relentlessly miserable all the time.
