The ones who have turned up and paid down the years certainly don't deserve it but one has to ask why a city of it's size and tradition have not drawn better crowds. A couple of seasons ago Kear put a credible team on the field with Brough at the helm I think crowds actually dropped.

Think there needs to be some clarity first regarding what players Wakey are left with, and also what funding will be available post-takeover (assuming it happens) - they might get a sugar daddy who can pay big bucks for new imports...

Chatting with Mick Potter last night re the Wakey situation I asked him there was anyone that he would cherry pick! he mentioned Ferguson as a good player, so I said its a shame he's already gone, he gave a wry smile but made no further comment! It's made me wonder though!

30 backroom staff out of a job now today too.

Not looking good for them at all.

not considering they've only got approx 30 backroom staff. Basically they've put everyone on notice, which is standard practice I think when a company goes into admin. Plan is pretty much all of them get re-instated once sale goes through but they have to start formal notice periods incase it falls through.
