Back to Scunny .. whilst all around seem mega positive re next season i will refrain from adding this optimism as quite frankly we will be at best a mid upper half table as best, biggest budget bullshit or not , sorry to piss on everyones chips.

Watch out IFA, Deerey will be coming for you for ‘sowing seeds of doubt’
The majority of the positivity I have seen is around the club ownership, reduction of debt and the community spirit that has been build since the departure of WHAM. All excellent work from the board and our fans, especially those volunteering down at GP.
On the footballing side of things I haven’t seen too much blind optimism from our fans. Most people realise we’ve lost our two best players, 2/3 of our signings are squad players at best, we’ve got a manager with no proven track record and we’re competing in a league that’s significantly tougher than it was last season, with a thin squad, despite having a fair few players that have consistent injury problems. The consensus of comments place us in mid-top half of table, scraping play offs if we are lucky.
I listened to Lee Turnbull’s interview yesterday whilst waiting on the England game to KO and he stressed how important it is that we go up this season. I think the club needs to revise their expectations somewhat, unless they have an ace up their sleeve.
