    We are having a lot of threads lamenting that our Championship quality players are being shipped out. But let's face it they proved last season that collectively they were not good enough for the Championship. They developed a losing mentality and would not have been in good shape for a challenge in league 1.

    It us obvious we need to get shut simply to make the budget work. However a fresh start with players that we can afford and who want to play for us and who are not defeated before they get on the pitch. - got to be better than last season.


    I hope!

    We didn't have a championship quality team we had several individuals good enough to play in the championship. That's different.

    I'd say 10-12 before the season starts if Cranie goes. We need quality as well as quantity hard to pull off.

    really? why? cog leaving the club had no bearing on our recruitment policy, according to ben mansford. why should this this move spark off a transfer flurry all of a sudden?

    Did he say that?

    Cos it cannot possibly be correct

    Our Ben, like Danny, is using up his goodwill swiftly

    So far Ben has failed. At least Danny has admitted relegation was his fault, even though he did start with his finger in the dyke.

    I think , it is just time we started to sign some players, all the managers are back at work and have had a look at the players after the summer break and we can now make of the inquiries into bids and signings !

    Well that what I hope is happening anyway ! :rolleyes:

    Perhaps a finger in a dyke no longer has the innocent image of my youth...
