Says it all that when Stuart thinks about him it's not that he's good, it's that he realised and acknowledged when he was shite. It’s always about silly fucking intangibles like ‘presence’, ‘loves the club’ and ‘character in the dressing room’ and never about quality or even potential. And then we sit around wondering why we’re always shite before repeating the whole process again.

I was arguing with some idiot on the T&A site the other day; I was mocking those who keep suggesting ex-players come back just because 'they understand the club', 'live local' etc. and this moron said he would welcome Billy Clarke back as 'he's still doing it at Grimsby'.
Still doing what exactly - seeing his career go constantly downhill since he left us? I said he was terrible last year when he came back, and his excuse was everyone was terrible - thereby in the mind of a gomper collective terribleness exempts any individual from criticism.

Think the club need to move quickly to create a fund for the budget next season. There will be a next season, probably behind closed doors and with almost every other club in a financial predicament we need to capitalise on others misfortune and get the better players in the building as soon as the start date is announced. With our web footed lancastrian foes joining us next season there is another big club with attraction and we need to beat them to the punch with these players.
Would you still pay for a season ticket not knowing if you could attend for the whole season? I would if it wasn't Captain Admin/ failure spending the money

This summer is THE perfect time to build something on the pitch. We have a manager who we love who plays football we all enjoy watching. We'll have got rid of the last of eden's fuck ups (O'Cunt aside) and players will be throwing themselves at clubs like a cheap slag. It's probably the first summer in decades where clubs will truly hold all the cards. 1400+ players out of contract in the EFL and if they don't get a contract this summer they may be fucked forever. Wages will be rock bottom meaning there will be some proper bargains about.
If we were a proper club with a proper scouting system I'd be confident of us making the most of this opportunity but we're not.
That means stuart has to do it himself and will likely sign players he knows and trusts. Incoming: Law, Clarke, Dieng, McCunt, Doyle.
Another wasted opportunity beckons.

Halliday released by Rangers, unsurprisingly. Bring. Him. Home. #gettingthebandbacktogether

Halliday, Law, Mottley-Henry, Marshall for the midfield next season.
Scouting's ok but this way is much quicker.

Next it's BigJim™ and Billy Clarke up top, Doyle in net, McArdle at centre back...

Clarke looks like he's been offered a new deal at grimsby, but I bet he'll ring stuart begging to come back here before he takes it.

We've given 4 contracts to kids which gives us a squad of 18, so maybe 5 more to come in.... We've given the world 4 decent players from our kids team in the last 30 years #shitpool

We need a date that next seasons going to start so we can get the wheels in motion because I can't wait to get back out on the training pitch." Repeated five times.

Which 4 youth players have we offered contracts to and is McCall going to include them as part of the main squad? Just don’t see how that’s feasible.
————O’Donnell————
Wood—-BRE—-AOC—-RB
RW——CM—-CM—— LW
—Vaughan—Donaldson—
Bench: MH, Pritchard, Ismail, POC , Novak, CM , CM
The rest: Guthrie, Hornby, French, Longridge, Staunton
That’s 23 players in total and is the absolute minimum we’re going to need. Throw 4 obscure youth players into the mix and we’ll hardly do any recruitment at all. We’ll sign Nicky Law, Tony McMahon, a couple of cheap loanees and that will be pretty much it.

Don’t be surprised to see Vaughan move on if anyone will take him. Relegation fodder.
