    With regards to what? Player recruitment? Commercial direction? How often we should refill the condiment station?

    It's not really up to me to come up with a plan but if it was I would not be bringing in four loanees before the season starts and building a team around them.

    And how would you pay for the permanent signings you want. Because as sure as eggs are eggs, you'd moan if they were frees too.

    I go to matches.

    I dont understand what you want us to sign.We sign someone from L2 or below you moan, we sign someone in our own league you moan, and now were signing players on loan in the premiership who are up and coming decent players you still moan...

    No win win situation with you.

    How about signing a couple of players who have seen and done it at the level we are currently at? Are there absolutely none of these players available anywhere?

    You are incorrect with regards to me moaning about signing players from League Two. Our two best players came from there.

    I'm not having a go at you players n our league who would you go for? Literally lot the only players who really impressed me were Bryne at Swindon (unrealistic) the chappie who Burnley have just signed, Delle Ali and Doyle who left Chezzie. The rest I could take or leave. Which experienced player would you sign? Your budget is 300k.

    Proven at a league higher - you want more like him?

    Are you off to the Football Heaven manager special? I'll listen out for your very dulcet tones.

    So because he was a resounding failure you're saying that all other experienced players would be.

    On that basis I'm saying this Rothwell will be ***** because Ritchie Jones was.

    For a start I would have had a look at Tony McMahon and Steve Davies who have gone to Bradford.

    You still haven't answered the question.
    So.........Try answering the new questions you've set yourself and then go on to convincing us that you could and would do something different with the current resources we have.
    You're in charge Conan .....show us the size of your tail .........if you can muster up any enthusiasm .......or do you not have a constructive gene in your DNS?

    Davies is a pretty poor player 250 appearances 40 odd goals.

    One of the reason presume McMahon has signed for Bradford is because he was on loan there. Decent player. Average. I suspect if we want loads of jobbing league 1 players we could get them.

    You would think McCloed a good signing then should we get him?

    I agree we lack experience. There does seem a complete lack of quality available though. The way the premiershit hoards and waste talent is seriously impacting clubs like ours.

    McLeod would be a good signing - scored goals for poor teams.

    I'd say that as of next Saturday McMahon and Davies would be better options than Bree, Williams, Wilkinson and Maris.

    The fact is that this league is one lacking flair and technically gifted players. A spine of experienced players and a 20 goal a season man will get you out of this league. Ten lads under 21 won't. No matter how hungry they are.

    Steven Davies is ******* garbage, and Tony McMahon couldn't lace Bree or Holgate's boots.



    I take exception to your comment aimed at ryhill tyke too, about not going to games. He's explained why he misses occasional games, just as I do, due to working weekends here and there. The proper fan stuff doesn't wash when you do nowt but whine on. I can guarantee thad have slated Davies (especially) if we'd signed the useless lump.

    I like you, I think you're bang on a lot of the time with your points even if they're dressed up in whinge. But it seems you've taken that slant and ran with it. I suppose it'll do you good not going tomorrow. Me and ryhill are going. Reight fans.
