Our club is in a very poor state

    The four M"s you want to get shut of , have the pedigree to be among the top midfielders in the division , I think improving on those is possible, but these players should be well up for the job in the third division

    They’re not though are they ? Mowatt & Moncur have got less drive than what Stephen Hawkings wheelchair as had in last couple of months. They’re coasting along picking up wages while ever clubs are willing to pay them. Never going to amount to anything, plenty of skill and footballing abilities, not enough drive, ambition, determination, and application

    Do we want to see good 1st Division players next season?
    Or do we want to see Championship standard players form a team next season - a team that can be kept together for the step up.
    More or less what the 2016 team did.
    And what the Sheffield United team did this season.
    Both of whom fell at the January fence.
    Barnsley sold - United couldn’t afford to recruit quality.

    I would like to see a team this season that can potentially take us up , I am not bothered about having a team that could make the step up , I want a team that can get up & then have the recruitment policy in place to improve the squad for the next challenge . Last time we went up with a team that continued to progress & the vultures swooped , well I do not want that to happen & if we went up & then strengthened with contracted players , I think we would have more chance of hanging on to these players . I also think attracting quality players to division three is difficult but if you get back to the Championship you are in a better position to buy quality, which should support progression & enthuse fans

    I can thoroughly recommend 'Happy' - one of the weirdest things I have seen on Netflix (nice cinematic references throughout though). It is totally bonkers and, as such, mirrors our season as well as some of the posters on the BB

    We are a spreadsheet club not a powerpoint club.

    Is that still the case? Not trying to be argumentative here, by the way, I don't really pay enough notice of what the other teams are doing during the summer usually. My impression is that there's been a shift with a larger turnover of players joining/leaving clubs becayse that want to move on more quickly and sign shorter contracts but that impression could just be from what we've been doing.
