    Under Patrick we signed players from the spreadsheet and not from it too. About a year before he sold up we signed Simeon Jackson at 28 or 29 and Leroy lots about two years before he sold too didn't we?

    We signed Jackson when we were in the championship in Jan before relegation iirc. Litany was signed when wilson wanted some experience we also signed turnbull, treacy and Dale jennings.

    So basically signing players from the 'spreadsheet' AND players who aren't fromcit is nothing new

    If that's the case mate. How did the council purchase the ground and facilities in the first place. It was a cost neutral. (Someone else may provide a full explanation. I assume like a taking out a mortgage and someone else paying it via rent) Investment.
    The council will be the ones that would have to build a new west stand. As and when they see fit to be able to fund it or attain funds via other means. Eg sports funding. Or private funding. Over to you Paul lol.

    We’ve signed some good players over the years and we’ve signed some bad ones. Same as any other football club ever in the history of the game across all nations, leagues, and levels.

    Eyup P. I wasn't posting my personal preference but hypothetically if there was a choice.

    I get that mate. I suppose it was an answer to the club. Not you, as it may have looked.

    Erm no when wilson left we signed strictly u25s through data analysis which you was critical of. I'm not sure what this strategy is but it's nothing like.

    After Wilson left we strictly only signed under 25s

    Simeon Jackson was 28, I thought we'd just done this

    And there was this other guy too. Can't remember his name. Scouse lad.

    And in Jackson case he was signed with the players previously when wilson said he went into the dressing room trying to get some reaction as players weren't putting effort in said there was just blank looks and rolling eyes. Said after that relegation he wanted young hungry players. Not sure what we have here now but it's not young and hungry. Like Clarke described them as not winners.

    Jackson was signed under wilson wasn't he? Been through this. Yes hammill was signed there was no other exceptions in league one after the nightmares of lita treacy and turnbull. I even met a ex player on holiday who Ben mansford wanted to bring to the club but Patrick knocked it back as he was over 25.

    And you never mentioned which of the current signings are data driven in your opinion? You've criticised every owner heavily in the last 25 year. What you wanting? @SuperTyke

    It’ll be all safe standing because at this rate there will be hardly any for there!
