If another club..........................

Re: If another club..........................

How many players do relegated clubs normally lose? Can’t imagine many teams go into the start of the season with a relatively unchanged squad.

Re: If another club..........................

One part of me is worried but the other part of me keeps thinking about what Sean Morrison said in that one interview about Russell Slade. How he wasn’t anyone’s favourite but he came in and steadied the sinking ship. I hope this is what that was.

Re: If another club..........................

With what we have we will be lucky to stay out of the bottom half of League one Paul. The whole shebang is concerning, i see no evidence of the promised changes/reviews of structures. No comment or release of info concerning this perceived takeover. It is either nobody knows what is going on, or they are too ignorant to inform the fanbase.
We all need to get behind BBM, but the club do absolutely nothing to enthuse us.

Agree entirely with your last comment, the club does nothing to engage with the fan base , it’s like they really don’t care if we turn up or not

Re: If another club..........................

Its difficult to gauge the manager's strategy and approach when we haven't signed anyone.
Has he been told that he to assess the under 21s first and those he thinks ready will be in the main squad, then he can start filling the gaps with transfers? Has he been given a (very) limited budget and is scouring those out of contract? When the Yeovil friendly was announced as an U21 fixture, I wondered if it's some sort of audition for them, or if alot of those playing will be playing in our first league fixture a few weeks after.

Who do you think will be giving BBM his strategy to follow - Tan Choo or Dalman . God help us !

I think we've been spoilt in years gone by as the club leaked information like a sieve. The one's suffering most seem to be the ITK guys who's sense of importance is being seriously compromised.

I'm concerned. It's July. The season starts in 26 days. We had a team that weren't up for the fight in the Championship, how do they expect to get on in League One? Promotion is a tough battle no matter what division you're in. If there's deal to be done with new owners, they better get on with it.

Spot on. We’ve moved into a league where a bit of fight is needed even more. With this current squad we will be in deep trouble.

Much better to have 3 or 4 good signings in due course than a rash of journeymen now, and after our new long-term manager has had a chance to evaluate the squad he has.

Too much need to see something happen immediately on here.

I agree but I don’t have confidence any kind of planning conversation about future signings is taking place. It’ll be the usual mad scramble for whoever we can bribe the most. I’m happy to be proved wrong though

Re: If another club..........................

So far I am filled with nothing but negativity for next season, and unless we sign some decent experienced pros, I have a feeling we could slip down further to League 2. I am hoping against forlorn hope, that Bale & Co. take over our club and our emperor is forever gone.

Meanwhile, in a worst case scenario, Newport get promoted, Wrexham get to the premier league and the jacks reach the Championship play-offs. Making us by far the worst team in Welsh football.

Merthyr won't be far behind either!

Totally agree with this. There is so little information, so journos & social media are making the news. Bales one short PR statement has been wrung to death, interpreted & extrapolated, so many different ways.

Re: If another club..........................

It is of course going to upset the majority on here but we have appointed an unproven manager, who was nowehere near our first choice and certainly not who the vast majority of fans wanted to takeover the managerial hotseat. He who cannot be criticised was favourite in their eyes..

I think BBM could be an inspired choice in the long term but if supporters think the team are going to have an easy ride in League One they are deluded. The players we have left from 24/5 are in the main a mediocre bunch - and unless BBM can ignite some hard to see blue touch paper we will need half a dozen new players in before August.

CO'D leaving should be an eye opener for everyone. We are not a club that people want to play for particularly, and we have to accept that we are in the third tier and will be a target for many due to our recent history. But for those of a certain age - we have seen it all before and 25/6 is not going to be easy.

Isn’t it more logical that your three or four good signings would be snapped up early by others leaving just the journeymen for us?

Re: If another club..........................

I find it strange that there seems a total dearth of names being suggested as possible transfer targets, perhaps it’s the entirely new environment we find ourselves in.

Don’t want to be a bed wetter but league one is a tough, physical league and I look at our squad and wonder whether we might be down the bottom again
