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.no money no honey

no cat fixtures last season
York Dale replaced by Barrow n Harrogate
so whats changed ??? ..
Will extra stewards police be required if thats the reason its BS
or
Is it just a back door slippery way to squeeze a few extra quid from fans who have not purchsed a season ticketEither way appears a tad strange to me

He went back to his registered club at the end of his loan.
Why would we comment on not signing a player??
Assuming after ZW being at the club all year on loan and it appears most scunny fans wanted him to sign surely SUFC should have updated if he was/was not even approached to sign or offered a contract and turned it down.
Again IMO it goes back to the club failing when it comes to club updates / fan interaction.1 user thanked author for this post.
As ever SUFC seem to like to keep fans in the dark regarding any transfer and/or contract news.. Fan interaction is so much quicker when the begging bowl comes out.
What are they keeping you in the dark about? To make such comments you must know they have news,which in itself suggests they’re not keeping you in the dark.
The club historically have been very poor at keeping fans informed especially on matters such as transfers contracts etc .. even recently nothing about the new pitch system they had chosen.
Also Yeovil released the Westbrooke signing as they got him from Donny but IMO having been here on loan all season Scunny should have also at least commented out of courtesy to their fans who were all hoping we signed him.
It seems the clubs fan interaction policy is all one way when it suits fans are chucked a scrap but the SOS come fast n furious.
As i said on another thread without investment and/or new owners its NL for the next decade. and god forbid putting up with the mumbling AB as he just does enough and no money to replace him same as with new players now.1 user thanked author for this post.
I’ll return to a previous theme. While I am grateful for what the current ownership has done, and continues do, for us, the model won’t enable us to get back to the EFL. It points to play offs being an overachievement this year. I would be amazed if we repeat it next season.
Yep agree … before last season i had a feeling we would do ok and survive in NL in the end we over achieved and reached the play offs which was a fantastic effort… one year on and im feeling less confident and my trepidation level is increasing as our squad falls apart.
Can Butler locate the right players and build a team on a low budget remains to be seen either way could well be ALSO RANS so mid/lower table may be as good as its gonna get in 26/27.Roberts stayed fit more or less all season take away his goals assists and the times he won or saved games for us and its a huge hole to fill and players capable of filling it are hard to find and cost a pretty penny.
I really thought we would sign Westbrooke bit of a bummer hes gone to Yeovil obviously all down to contract length and salary.

That ladyboy of yours finally turned on you then IFA
It does look like ive been bashed around the ring but not a lady boy insight IA .. a tree fell on me.
No problem the profit from the family day yesterday will sort it.
Im not holding out much hope for any marquee signings with the player market as it is regarding wages and contracts .. i just hope we can find some rough diamonds or AB has a gene in a lamp.
Do i sense a hint of sarcasm AWG .. was the Family day well attended or another abject failure?
Speaking of trouble ..IFA been off the radar a few days as in the wars resulting in 2 broken ribs a dislocated shoulder and even worse smashed my front teeth out .. accident medical insurance covered it except the teeth which are over 2k quid to make me handsome again… my soapy cash stash has taken a real beating but no massages anytime soon anyway with these ribs.BLOODY PAINFUL.
We soldier on UTI

You really need a home visit IFA.
Barbers are now known for illegal money laundering lol.
Since you’ve left, Frod road and the high street must have 15 or more on the go. And probably more supermarkets renowned for illegal tobacco, drugs and money laundering.Following whats happening in the UK and re entry conditions here im not sure i do need a home visit AWG … i miss my remaining family there and obviously the footy but after 25 yrs away places change as does ones mindset and inclination to travel..recent visit to the middle East was probably my last adventure out of Thailand.
‘In my pre Millenium days of yore ‘ Frod road indeed had Wilsons chippy, loads of Indians, The Brit , Polish Club and i think Shnapps Bar.
IFA was a dashingly handsome young lad with hair and his own teeth …bloody hell how times change.My love for my home town has never wavered and i still have a Scunny road sign on my gate post here… i will always be a proud Scunthonian

Steady on IFA those lady boys might start chasing you.
Been chasing me for years IA .. its just as i get older i cant run as fast 5555
Im actually engaged to be married to a ladyboy .. some have called me crazy others a weirdo but for me the thought of never having to lift heavy things or mow the grass etc swayed me.
Her name is Brian and we are planning a lavish wedding with a reception at the local WI hut and honeymoon in either Iran or Cleethorpes.1 user thanked author for this post.
Gooooood player is Loberts.
Disclaimer Loberts
Everyone here in general says Rs sounding as Ls it was a little subtle IFA attempt at humour and didnt want to point it out and upset the massage lasses especially when they may have a delicate part of my anatomy under pressure.2 users thanked author for this post.
Still the position remains unfilled with a new Ad posted today, has there even been any applicants ?? or is it a poison chalice , poor salary or ?????

Yes let’s, then in the next breath let the club shit on fans when dealing with ticketing issues.
3 times alone on that subject the club have been found wanting, it’s just a one way street with them.As ever AWG nails it “a one way street” pretty much sums it up.
The begging bowl tagged as DIY SOS is here again and like previous comments suggest it does IMO give off a bad vibe, it seems when the club need fan support wether donations materials or time the posts are rapidly written and delivered whilst fans politely requesting updates are for the most part kept in the dark.
** That said if locals and /or their businesses are happy to assist them well done, i personally ceased sending donations as there was no real clarity as to where the funds would be spent.I was happy to help when paying players wages etc in the dark days of Hilton but since then it appears the likes of the Unity group etc just decide how n when to spend funds and Xmas Easter parties are not high on my list of importance…Talk of money chucked in for away travel also comes to mind IF TRUE.1 user thanked author for this post.
