Zero fucking enthusiasm for it.
Usually, within a couple of weeks if the previous season finishing, however bad it’s been, I’m itching for it to start again.
But it’s been a month and I’m giving zero fucks.
It’s going to be gash isn’t it?

We really needed to move on five or six of the under contract twats for me to have any hope. Seeing as that doesn’t appear to be happening I’m saying that relegation is a distinct possibility again. Bowyer gone by Christmas.

I reckon we'll get rid of 3 or 4 by the start of the season. But wont replace with owt good.
Mid table at best this season. I'd take 10th now if offered. How bad is that

At the moment it’s going to be another relegation battle...if like has been said we manage to shift some of the shite we have on the books and replace with some pedigree then that might change.
As Hodhead has said before, this summer relies more on who we can get shut of rather than who comes in.
BowyerS needs a good start, if we get to ten games and won only 1 or 2 then I would expect the atmosphere to be as drab as it was this year. I suspect he will walk before Christmas if that is the reality he is having to live with.

The only players I could tolerate out of the Rahic 12 weeks of transfer madness playing next season are:
Wood (he looked good and aggressive at times)
Colville (seemed to score a couple from midfield which we've often lacked)
Doyle (he's a petulant fucker but a goalscorer all the same)
Akpan (in theory he could be a fucking monster in midfield but he was actually weak and a pussy - I'm giving him one more chance FFS hoping Bowyer can get something out of him)
Mellor (looked OK when I saw him)
If there are more than those 5 players still making the first team appearances (particularly the likes of O'Connor and Wright) then I'm going to be bitterly disappointed. I would happily get rid of all the rest of them, but realistically that's not going to happen and it's going to take another season at least to truly recover from Rahic's mental recruitment. For that reason I am not excited about the new season, but a mass exodus of the pathetic gutless shower of bastards that relegated us would start to re-ignite my interest in next season.
For me, I would give McCarten, Reeves and Robinson another crack at it simply because they weren't involved in the side last year - but if they were to leave I would not give a single shit.

I’d agree. Throw in a midfielder who can tackle and Akpan might be ok. I’d add Scannel to the list too, but he’s probably way too expensive to keep around.

Akpan is the footballing equivalent of Audley Harrison. Big fucker but shit scared.
He needs to get some shit in his boots but I’d hazard a guess that if it hasn’t happened by now then it’s not going to. He’s another one with peanuts for gonads.
The others I’d agree on bar possibly Robinson. He just looked like a rapid mess to me.

It's a really simple, shit, league. 2 big fuckers at the back, bastard in midfield, speed on the wings and up front.

“Must be able to run around”....I remember Grayson insisting this was key also.
