The club keep telling us that the goal is to be the best team in SL and that they want the crowds back, but the recruitment so far is not in line with this goal. I think another year of mid table mediocrity with limp CC and playoff performances await. I get the feeling 2012 is already written off and 2013 will be yet another false dawn. I’m so disappointed after being very optimistic about all the changes at the club. They are not going to increase ticket sales if they keep going like this.

| Problem is Pearson said Gentle wanted young english players mixed with experienced players who can lead by example , at least that was my interpretation. What we've seen in the last few days are two young brits , plus Turner confirmed , going and an old Aussie with a bad reputation coming in. A player that Cas don't want!!!

Best team in SL might be the longer term plan, but his most recent comments (which also referred to 6 signings still to be announced) were that in 18 months time he wanted us to be challanging for 4th / 5th spot IIRC. With the squad we're assembling then that will be readily achievable.

Great response, perhaps you can tell me which part of it you are not in agreement with?

And anybody who thought it would take 2 years is a fool.

I do feel better now thanks.
I assure you that when all the 6 superstar signings that will make up Gentles team are announced, I will be the first to admit I jumped the gun with the original post. Problem is I don’t think those signings will make us one of the best team in SL as promised by AP.

But if the latest rumours are true and he's coming on a 2 1/2 year deal. Then we don't have to pay him much to beat what he'd get for the last 2 months of his Cas career

Well he said 18 months and he expects us to be top 4/5 so to be the best it's going to take what, 3 years after that? 4/5 years from now?

| Quote: alexwest "I was a little disappointed signing a cast off from our neighbours in watts,but the signing of mcgoldrick is very reassuring,as gentle and pearson said we will be signing good young english players and it shows they are men of their word.
He will fit in really well with brett finch,rangi chase,jamie lyon,benji marshall etc and all the other superstars we are signing.I was a little disappointed with last years signings until the end of the season we signed tony martin and jamie ellis which kept the fans happy and have proved to be masterstrokes.Keep up the good work.!'"
You think anyone actually believes you are a FC supporter?
