He would be a good signing he can learn a lot from Crooks and Hall and it would also give us the option of playing Hall at 6 or 1 if needed

Quote: Jboyleigh "Monty any reason we are looking for a centre now? I would have thought if Hall & Crooks are fit Tyson would struggle to make the 17. Any thoughts about Adam Walne - does this mean Acton and Mason are out for a while. Is Walne any better than Blagborough and Baldwinson and whats happened to Bailey?'"


Not sure yet there a few more names in the pipeline maybe buying players to lower the wage bill incase we don’t get Top 4 and back in the SL. We got a good few players on SL wages this season and they have proved they not been good enough to get us back there hopefully I’m wrong but I honestly can’t see it happening the poor start to season is at fault for it all. we needed cunningham take a backward step earlier than when he did and maybe we would not be in this predicament

How does buying new players cut the wage bill?

Only if you don't have to pay off the ones who are leaving though, Monty.

Didn't we do that least year?

We unprofessionally ejected perfectly capable players by a coach who was out of his depth and replaced them with poorer ones? What did we realistically think would happen?

If KP had been given last years squad instead of this one we would be top by a mile. id go as far as to say we would still be in SL if Jukes had gone last year.

Is it any wonder we cant attract players with our owner threatening to pull out every other week and emotionally blackmailing the players by threatening them with their jobs?

We are reaping what we sowed.

Strong words, and hindsight is a wonderful thing. It looks as though Cunningham sold Derek the dream. DB strikes me as a loyal guy, and I really don't think he is the type for the clear out we had.

Have to agree that we don't appear to have handled the clear our very well at all, and without knowing salaries and stuff we could deffo have kept a number of players so we didn't start as raw as we did this season

As things stand it's difficult to see how we can promise potential signings anything, the next 4 weeks decide which direction the club is going over the next few years
