Are the supporters who think we'll be ok

Surely the biggest constraint is a next to zero transfer budget?

 

Yet Warnock just admitted to being interested?

 

Well, let's revisit this in August. I'll gladly hold my hands up if we sign/employ anyone of any decent calibre.

And as for honest discussion, on my part this is an honest discussion.

 

Only out of sentiment for the club from his playing days. He fancied one last short term challenge that’s all.

 

£8m to find to keep our heads above water. Once our best players have left and we have only 5k season tickets sold I don’t envisage us being very attractive to players even at L1 level. I’d say our budget will be bottom half.

 

I agree it’s common for teams to follow the Head Coach, but it’s not like they’d known or worked with him for long(8months ish). I’d totally understand that if they had come with him.

I also agree the ‘exodus’ (slightly exaggerating on my part) doesn’t prove it’s horrible and I’m not saying it is, I’m saying usually it points to it.
That may or may not be the case I don’t know as I don’t work there but from outside looking in when so many key people leave from the top(Dane) down leaves you have to ask why.

 

But that's essentially what you're doing, you're trying to convince us that your rosy outlook regarding the club is the truth, when the vast majority of us, looking from outside the club, can clearly see that the club is rotten.

Regardless of what you say, you do have an vested interest in convincing the rest of us that things aren't that bad. For all your protests, you are not outside the club. You depend on a friendly arrangement to get access to the CEO and I see brew dog is front and centre at the fan zone.

This is me engaging in honest discussion.

 

Too much doom and gloom. I think the players that have let us down the most are the players that people are hankering on us getting the most money for. They won't be missed. Time to start focussing on what we have got right now and will have in the summer.

In defence we'll have Walton in goal. Then we'll have Williams fit. Then there's Moon, Kitching, Helliwell and Sraha. It's obvious this area will need strengthening. However, that's not beyond the realms of possibility.

The way I see it Schmidt, Thomas, Ackroyd and Aitchison will improve the squad. As will Kane. We'll go from having no midfield to perhaps a surplus in that area. Also Iseka and Thomas play out wide. We'll have more options than this season. We have ICD and Wolfe in the middle.

Up front we have Cole, Iseka, Schmidt and perhaps Aitchison.

 

Yeah it’s all pretty clear that the relationship is just too cosy. Defending them to the hilt after the season we have had.

 

Actually a member of my family is good friends with Sedgy & the reason he left is poor working conditions.

 

No I get what you've been saying about Conway (it's impossible not to!) - I must have misread your post because it says you thought recruitment was OK this summer.

 

Excellent summary. Definitely feels on the money to me.

 

On the attractive place to play things, I think I get Loko's point if you view at it from the business side of playing.

It's a decent shop window for players to make that step to the next level. Mawson, Hourihane, Winnall, Bradshaw, Yiadom, Davies, Lindsay, Pinnock etc all came to play for us, probably knowing that they'd stay a few years then get that big move.

The trouble is, we don't sign players of that ilk any more.

 

Ah right I get that.

Ignore my rhubarb then.
