Quote: chissitt "The only uncertainty at the moment is from some posters on here, why not just wait and see, it's less stressful.'"
It happens every chuffing year. The moment the last game is done the doom mongers are out. I could actually name them, they are as predictable as the tides.
Every little thing is a disaster and if we don’t have the Australian test team signed before the first leaves fall from the tree panic sets in.
Every flipping club is in some state of flux at this time of year. We have about 6-8 places to fill, same as most clubs. We’ve lost three influential player but two were down to age. We have also lost a steady player in Batch and a promising youngster in Aydin.
Standard for most clubs in truth, when like us they are leaving a relatively stable era and rebuilding as has to be done at some point.
The only genuine concern is that we have not yet announced the new coaching set up. That is an unknown but one has to assume that’s well in hand and has been for a while. This also may explain why recruitment is yet to begin in earnest.
This idea that all the best players are signed up already is total rubbish. But what is even more ridiculous is all the experts on here proclaiming that we have signed Gale and whoever else are talking utter rubbish as ever.
We may well sign Gale but that will be down to the new coach and nobody on here knows who he is. Still they won’t admit they are wrong and will continue to chuck in the names of any remotely contentious player to stir the pot and demonstrate how knowledgeable they are.
So I agree, wait and see. Some of our best signings have been late in the day, Whitbread being one.
