Just read article. Interesting as he's signed players for next season. Wonder what his reasons are?

Seems like Cas are falling into the same trap as us last year.

Oh dear

There’s no money..
Looks as though the cost cutting will continue to bite

It probably doesn’t matter now, Cas will have a pretty good idea of their IMG score now, and will be confident of securing a place in the top flight for next season, without spending silly money.

I think if they have a good idea of their score they will not be confident at all.

It will be interesting to read the IMG scores if they are made public and not just for the clubs to read. Also, I am assuming the scores are not just for the current SL clubs, but for all the RL clubs. It will be a close call between a few clubs, both in SL and Championship

I thought the idea of the initial score was that you then worked on improving the scores in areas that needed it..
If you haven’t got any money then in some areas of the criteria your going to be struggling!

Can see a lot of clubs throwing the toys out of the pram when the scores are given out.

Speaks volumes IMO he has gone in, figured out what's going on behind the scenes and thought stuff this.

Cas fans are convinced Fulton Jr wants no part of running the club and wants his Daddys money back.

I am sure we will, also the longer things go on I am also sure clubs will start to seriously question the whole IMG concept. If it doesn't quickly show significant benefits, I can see it having a short life span.

We and others might not like the scores we receive to start.
However if we get our act together then we’re in a position to improve our score. Others not so…

The top clubs won’t question the concept because they will have or be very close to an A grade.
You’re right though the squabbling will start when clubs (could include us) don’t get the score they want come the 2025 season.

Also there are clubs IMOP have been very creative already where crowd figures are concerned! This is one area that we definitely need to get our act together for next season..
And in the championship we will need to have a winning team that will go along way to help us achieve that goal.

His wife doesn't want to uproot from London as the kids are settled and happy at school there. Its DOR Danny Wilson that does recruiting.

Could Applegarth be available?
Knows all the patter
