There is an order to things at SUFC
1. The announcement of the retained list.
2. The announcement of out of contract players signing elsewhere
3. The announcement of a draft pre season friendly programme
4. The announcement of a marque signing/re signings of OOC players
5. The announcement of a finalised preseason programme
6. Players reporting back for training
4/5/6 may be interchangeable
7. The appearance of triallists ABCDEFGHI and J in said pre season games
8. Start of Season
9. The announcement of Triallists ABC and D signing 1 year “bench warmer” terms
10. The announcement of season long loans for players you have probably never heard of.
We are only currently of step 2 of the process!
Whilst i admire your idea of how things SHOULD happen Phil its not that black n white ..
The better players will all be long gone by the time we get to SUFC step 4 .. so pecking about for the crumbs is about it.
Maybe down to finances but why do so many other clubs like Yeovil seem to make early statement signings while Scunny always leave it until the last chance saloon .. we are always so slow out the blocks its like we re sweeping up other clubs player litter.
