Wellard said:We seem to be going down the route of 'buying' players to do a job in the Championship which is worrying as in the unlikely event of us going up next year we will have to rebuild again next summer as all the players will be too old to cope.
Great. :x

MA does not hold the purse strings, not that the purse is that big, but again I say we need a bit of a reality check.
WE ARE SKINT!!!!!!
I am sure that the club are trying to sign those young, talented players that we would all like to see, but if they are that good they cost money and other clubs will be interested who have the money to spend.
The only players we can sign at the moment are those that are out of contract and are free, or in Williams case they have a fee but will be smaller than they are actually worth.
Redditch, I would have thought we would cover every angle and would not go for a player that we can not afford, however until the fee is set MA will not know exactly how much of the kitty is left so could hold a couple of deals up.
Lets just get behind ANY player that we get rather than moaning, then when the season starts see how they play and make judgements then.

I agree with every word of that -I'm not moaning incidentally although I would comment that I think the club tried to put a more positive light on matters up to the ST renewal deadline & as you know I think they mishandled the infamous clauses -but yes I just hope for the best & want to be motivated to turn up for a good few games rather than enjoying the better Spanish climate.

I bet you get these journalists checking forums to get the latest rumours to fill up the back pages.

*cough cough*
Yes there is. 10 players released 10 new players and relegation again. I want us to have a settled team, a team with players that actually know they have a future with us.Brenfox1 said:If they do the job & get us promoted then there's no problem
