    I'm panicking here.

    I fear we're going to end up signing some reight dregs. If we do, Johnson will be sacked by Christmas.

    I think you'll find it's correct. A number of mard arses wanted him out. Cryne did too. And yes, we're back where we started.

    I don't think I've made that up.

    Exactly. Just because we haven't signed anybody yet doesn't mean we're not trying.

    What's point in getting people to renew in April if you're not going to invest the money at the earliest possible opportunity?

    Nowhere in my post did I insinuate otherwise.

    It has been invested. In the bank. It hasn't been spent.

    I'm sure LJ is trying to spend money but he wants to spend it, not waste it.

    Whilst I'm not worried, I do have to say that I think our reason for failing last season was that we started the season with a very very lightweight and inexperienced squad. By the time we got players in and fully match fit we were always playing catch up.

    Recruitment of players or the next manager when he gets the sack?

    Bringing the right players in is not a quick job, players won't be knocking the door down to come here it's not as though we have a lot to offer, top four budget my arse, massive crowds, big wages, great atmosphere, patience, big names already here, friendly fans, I could go on.
    Just wait give LJ a chance and a bit of time

    Agreed.

    Our new manager has at least discarded those who would not have progressed us.

    But I could have done that.

    Remains to be seen whether he's up to the more challenging aspects of the job.

    I meant invested on the squad.

    Maybe the club should say to the fans - renew in April so we can if the interest on your money rather than you.

    The problem is not investment or lack of. The problem is starting from scratch every preseason. So instead of adding to the team with a few key players we have another new manager who wants to bring in his 'own players' dismantling the team and not developing or improving it. This cycle shows no sign of being broken. As manager after manager is hounded out by a vocal minority. Maybe we should approach the manager we are going to get in to replace Johnson in January and ask him who he wants to sign when he becomes manager and sign those players.
