    I think Daz would be in budget, not sure about Blackmore.

    Let’s hope he grows in stature and regularly raises his game.

    ” Mistakes are part of the learning process and should be accepted.”

    Experience is learning from your mistakes, wisdom is learning from somebody else’s mistakes. (CT c1995 to his offspring)
    Neil is not experienced but could have wisdom, let’s hope so.

    Good advice les, let’s hope Peter takes notice. (Sorry, did I write Peter? Of course I meant Neil.)

    Understand your thoughts ironking but here’s an alternative view. An experienced manager will, understandably, have several sackings on his CV along with, hopefully, some successes. Whilst sackings are regular occurances they usually involve a generous payoff. Knowing our recent record don’t we risk somebody experienced in these matters coming in with a ‘don’t care’ attitude just waiting for his big pay day? Personally I’d rather have somebody with a desire to succeed and make a career as a manager.

    Look, I don’t like to see anybody lose their job but these are exceptional times and it’s happening. My point? We have 2 GK coaches for 3 GKs and our number 1 has been here over 3 years and is still not up to L2 standard.
    Conclusions:-
    1. We are overstaffed.
    2. The coaches are ineffective.
    3. Some people never learn.
    Harsh? Maybe, but times are tough at the moment.

    Yep, another 21 y.o. Who knows, with 4 or 5 keen to move up the league ladder and 5 or 6 keen to establish themselves as league footballers we could be dangerous. It’s a while since we fielded a team where all the players were keen.
    (Still one area of concern for me though!!)

    I’m assuming ‘realistic’ suggestions only so I’m not starting with Nige.

    My view from an earlier thread:-
    Well we seem to have signed players that may have potential but lack experience, very much as expected. But the mix is something of a surprise, if we go with 2 up front we have a choice of KVV, McAtee, Green, Olomola, Jarvis and Mooney. Seems like a bit of overkill as we still have only 1 CM, unless Beestin, Hornshaw, Pugh or Hallam are considered up to the job, haven’t seen enough of any of them to pass judgement. Maybe a little more movement in and out?
    As for ” Lewis Butroid this will almost be a great season for Lewis.” have you missed a word out Brian? I fear, based on recent experience, that he might be behind Bedeau for the LB spot. Hope not.

    Stable door is shut but the horses have bolted, possible some of the donkeys still remain.

    This bit from the above would seem to rule him out don’t you think?

    If the Everton link is smoke & mirrors, could it be Songo’o? Covers CM and CB so would be good value.

    Couldn’t agree more with NI, can’t ‘Thank’ or ‘Like’ but I could have written the same thing. Spot on.

    If your avatar is accurate you look like a fit young fella. Spare a thought for those of us with a more rounded outline.

    Nice analogy – but Godden, Goode & Sutton had more than one ‘wearing’ and showed they were more Burtons than Armani.

    Still think he’ll struggle in L1 and has no hope in the Championship. Just one experts opinion of course.

    ” if I indeed choose to.” that’s the key for me – a choice.
    ” it does seem the type of options used by other clubs has been received reasonably well by sections of their fanbases as has the Scunny option by some TBF” – but the ‘Scunny option’ wasn’t an option, it was an imposition.

    He’ll have more interest in getting the fans in the ground than Russ. Not sure how the players would respond to his management style though.

    I renewed my season ticket for the terracing about a month ago now so they must have some plan for it.

    Keeping Russ as manager is the plan, there’ll be plenty of room.
