Well half the week gone and the anticipated excitement is very much on hold. Will we have any new faces in by the end of May never mind the whole squad? Surely the Chairman hasn’t filled us full of false hope has he? Telling us that 3 or 4 signings are close would be something to look forward to – but would it be true?

So we’re not the only club that signs players whilst managerless then!

Speculation.
Chairman to supporters – ” Next seasons squad will be in place by the end of May”
Chairman to manager – ” We’ll leave the signings as late as possible when players will have lowered their salary expectations. I’ll get the best I can from what’s left, leave it to me and Will”1 user thanked author for this post.
Do any of you actually listen to interviews? Cox has already stated that it won’t be happening, which was pretty obvious despite what Swann said.
Cox is the boss.
So you suspect a return to the bad old days do you? We sign players in July when those available have been picked over and we are left to chose from those that nobody else wants. We’ve been there several times.

Surely they MUST be learning something though! If the report linking us with Muldoon has substance that would indicate a change of direction, we didn’t sign any 30+ y.o. last summer.

Quite right les, playing a lone striker unsuited to the job also contributes to the failure.

Shame we didn’t have more players playing for a move for more money last season. I’d be amazed if any of those OOCs improved their income although they’ll likely get more than our new contract offer. On a regular basis none of them showed themselves to be ” top L2 or better” IMO.

I’d even do it if you were owner Deerey, it’s called being a supporter!
Give it a go some time.You were asked a few weeks ago, several times, for reasons to support your optimism and allow the rest of us to share your optimistic view.
Have you come up with anything yet?1 user thanked author for this post.
” I doubt the budget will stretch that far.”
We’ve got rid of 17 including the high earners so I’d be very disappointed if we couldn’t afford at least nine. As you say we need at that as a minimum.

Absolutely right Bucks and there should be plenty out there. The issue will be selecting the right one and avoiding another wage thief, we’ve had enough of those. Wouldn’t be averse to a player/asst manager either. (Sorry Mark)

I would trust Bish as a scout.
To have a chance of that job I think he’d have to successfully apply for adoption wouldn’t he?

Look forward to Cox putting his own stamp on the squad. UTI!
Aren’t we all, what are the chances that he’ll be allowed to do it?
I didn’t realise that Peter and Leanne had reached those heights.

Some years ago when North Lincs had a labour council, I emailed the then leader telling him he wasn’t listening and was risking defeat. He did not bother to respond.
Lost the next election.So it’s not just Mr Swann then, does anybody reply to your correspondence? Are you sure you’re using the correct addresses?

I feel the same as you and completely agree, I was going to give it one more season because I may give the car up in another year because I have got problems with dry eyes and it is severe in my left one, I can see OK but it is really irritating, and still don’t know what it would be like watching live football.
Sorry to hear that mick, sad to say you’ll get more sympathy on here than from the club who clearly have little regard for long standing supporters. Luckily they have impressive plans in place to attract hundreds if not thousands of new, young fans to replace…. oh, hang on – no that’s somebody else, sorry.

If he has to go then it must be now. It’s still unclear how much input he and previous managers had in player recruitment. If he goes 10 games into the new season then we’ll be back to square one (again) with a new manager and a squad full of players that aren’t ‘his’ together with a chief scout that maybe he doesn’t want.
