Also, our recruitment for this season of Cartwright and Stewart, so soon after his latest dummy-spit about us not spending money this season, makes him look like an absolute idiot.

Beaumont doesn't need any help looking an idiot

Totally embarrassing!

3 years for an overweight, injury prone player who previously mocked us...this club is a joke

He wouldnt have been for me either, but hey-ho.

Agree. He'll be a disaster

Clune kinda proves the point...

There is a salary cap still. £2.1m + 100k allowances minus £300k (on cap) marquees minus a fair few other 6 figure salaries doesn't leave a lot left for the rest of the squad. Needs to be spent wisely.

Adam is still paying salaries for players long gone and looks like same might well happen again with Richie.

I'm seriously conflicted by Abdull's signing. There's no doubting his talent and if he stays fit I think he'll be a real asset. In addition he's non quota and if I'm correct only counts 50k on the cap. However, I simply can't understand that a half back can carry that much weight when training everyday and I would assume following a diet. He's 28 probably entering the peak of his career and never addressed it. Hopefully Cartwright will sort him out.

Abdul wouldn’t have been my choice, but with his salary only costing a fraction I can get behind it a little. As long there is quality signed as a result in other positions. He’s a decent enough player. I feel a lot is riding on Cartwright’s passion for fitness…

Yea it's marmite signing. But if he can keep fit and this year he's played most games than I think he can be a good signing for us. Let's see how he looks at the start of the season and see how he performs before slagging the bloke off.

Feeling a bit anxious, eh? Big anniversary coming up next year.
