It seems there is some sort of consensus on what is needed.
Which is hardly surprising since we have viewed what went wrong last season ... which incidentally should have been addressed ... a little tinkering would have seen us promoted at little extra cost.
This is not a go at the club, I can imagine how hard it must be to run our club and if we could afford to just go out and buy success we probably would.
However having a goal of survival or continued existence is hardly a desirable or inspiring one.
I will have to wait and see what happens and I may be pleasantly surprised. But signing half a dozen 'promising lads' will do nothing, we have already lost real talent in abundance.
I can remember under Wrighty's tenure when we signed Joel Penny, the club was buzzing. Unfortunately there were too many 'promising lads' signed afterwards for him to make that much of a difference. Now I know we are not in that position financially, but we need a 'name' or two to associate with. Off-the-peg players with track records prepared to come down a level at the end of their careers. We haven't the time to develop a stack of 'promising lads' this season. We have got to get out this division THIS SEASON.
We need generals as well as enthusiastic 'promising lads'.
We have some good players from last season who should be even better this time around as well.
So let's be brave and ambitious, it's only money.
