Hope you're right Mr C could not see this mood coming so soon after Blackpool.

To throw a more positive note back to this thread and bring it back to subject; Danny Craven has signed for next year. Thats an exclusive. Don't ask how I know, I just do !

Is it because you're an insider ?

I like it!

If true, Which half back/ fullback bites the dust? Or is R M going to juggle and tinker next season as well ?

In Association Football (aka Wendy ball) one certain 'tinkerman' found out a settled side pays dividends reviously only dreamed of !

Miles greenwood won't be at the club next year!

I hear Divo is all ready for Australia and Greenwood is a very good friend.
Is Greenwood on a one-way ticket too?

I was re-reading the title of this and I reckon Ed Sheeran could do a job but don't reckon those One Direction boys could hack it.

Not sure! Just know that around about 10 of this years squad is leaving and Greenwood is one of them.

Thats right danny craven has signed along with o,grady from dewsbury and haggerty aswell 3 good signings.
Having craven in potentially allows us to use jonno in the halves now and again where he belongs

Do you think they are quality signings.honestly.it like for like.how low is are ambition.

Yes I'm not sure to be honest, Haggerty?

Not really any better than we already have.
I doubt signing Craven will mean that Jonno will play in the halves, I think it is well known that Richard doesn't think he is big enough to play there. He will only play him at FB unless he completely changes his mind.
I would not be surprised to see Jonno to leave at the end of the season, he has plenty of interest from other clubs.

Do you continually use the word "are" instead of "our" to irritate people?

No

We obviously need a big fast back for our team next year.what about having a chat with Gavin clinch again.tangata has been great for us.surely there are some cracking players in them leagues,and don't we have a quota place left.just an idea.

A lot of the signings will be like for like unfortunately.
Mainly from those who have not made the grade at full SL level and have decided that it's better to play for a Championship side on a regular basis than be loaned out, dual reg etc. Or players from other Championship clubs who the coach thinks are slightly better than the rest.

I have been trying to think of players who I would sign if I could with the resources available at the moment and it's not easy to do anything different from the above.

We don't have a lot of money to throw around anyway, not many established SL player will want to drop down a division and lose out financially and standard of play wise.

My ambition might be to have bigger and better things but if I can't afford to do so there's no point in even considering it unless I want to go bankrupt.
Our ambition is still there at every level of the club but it has to be realistic, which is a steady slow step at a time approach and hope that it will eventually get us somewhere but all things considered it will be tough.

By the way, which Haggerty have we been linked with, Kurt, Matt or some other?

Roy.

Ha yes his only 56.but can we afford him

The big question.

Scott Grix did say at the beginning of the season that he would like to Finnish his career playing along side his brother.

He's Finnish, is he ?

If the signings for next year are correct.its just a roundabout of averages players.not exactly box office.no top 4 next year.and apparently we are skint.

Just to humour you, who were you expecting us to sign?

At least we don't sell off our better players, get relegated and then question the ambitions of other clubs.
