Assuming that the contracts for the current squad are void since we are relegated I suggest that we wait until a week or so before the season starts and then look to recruit from whoever is available. It seemed to work out OK this season.

Well, you can't speak for all fans but apart from a tiny minority I'd guess that most will be happy just to get a half decent side (we are in the third division, after all) which holds it's own and maybe gives the occasional impression of being a candidate for something, even if it's just the Railway cup, or what ever it is.

For what it's worth, I'd consider keeping anyone who wants to stay, depending on finances, who we might have coming in and players who might be in 'priority' positions. Though, until we know what we have, or more to the point, what we don't have, we won't be able to identify what the priorities are. What is an absolute must is that we are not depending on loans and DR next season. Note, I don't mean we shouldn't have any, just shouldn't be [idepending[/i on them to get a side on the field.

I make no bones about the fact I'd love to see a new coach installed. I'm as aware as anyone of the problems we've had this season and it hasn't been easy for Toovey but we haven't improved one iota to me - in fact we've gone backwards.

Don't think it will be SL but SL2 or whatever they choose to call it. This would in effect be a promotion from where we will be next season. And if that is the case then expect another season of saving money to spend after the restructure.

You are right Bulliac we have gone backwards. To me it coincided with Leon`s injury problems. When he was half fit we seemed to be competitive, once it was obvious he could not get about the pitch and subsequently retired, we never looked at all threatening near the opposition line. Yet some people said Leon was crap!!!!
As for Toovey I`m not convinced. For certain please get rid of Mendika, Halafifi and Davies, The rest except the youngsters and those signed for next year I`m not bothered whether we keep or get rid.

The saddest thing about the whole season is that Leon (who has been one of Bradford's and Great Britain's best players) ended his career by being booed off the pitch by his own home town fans. Disgraceful.

They don't become void between Division's in the championship. Whitehaven tried that trick last year to get rid of top earners and were told they couldn't do that.
