Frankly Mr Shankly

He’s not expected to be here. I’m sure Liam will take the news as the consummate professional that he is.

Behave. They’ve just been asked to find new clubs, that’s all. They aren’t expected to be starting any matches come August.

Yep.a few goals has masked pretty much what a poor job he’s done since he arrived. Just isn’t fast enough in speed of thought or moving the ball. Probably fine at this level for a mid table club.

Exactly what I wanted to see. More ballast to be binned inc. Shelton, Sheron and Hogan. The latter two I think will find clubs. Not sure on Shelton. Hope Hartlepool want to take him home.

We’ll see based on length of contracts he offers to those out of contract players. If it’s two years or more, he sees them as long term. If it’s one year deals, he’s managing his budget and they’re likely to be back up options. what I’m saying is, our budget will not extend to 9-10 quality signings IMO. I expect 4-5 to come in as players who will be earmarked as first choices. The rest will be lower cost options and I’d imagine some of those will probably be McGahey, Fondop et al.

As much as I'd agree, we don't have the budget for bringing in better players than them as back up choices.

Fucking let them if they’re that mardy. Sone can see the bigger picture.

Halifax are all over the place in their play-off match. I'm reassessing my opinion of Tyler Golden as a summer target for us.

It's fine. We'll welcome them all back when it all eventually clicks and we turn into the National League's end of level boss. Fannies.

I agree. I was probably a bit Fondop-esque by lunging in recklessly.

I am too but it's not a personality contest. He missed seven matches because he wasn't professional enough. Fans love to see a committed player, but with Fondop it borders on reckless and stupidity. Four red cards over his two and bit seasons with us is fairly damning.

Not sure I agree. Thommo got a tune out of them in his new manager bounce period, but his last matches were pretty much like the ones later in the season under MM. I'd argue the problem was signing some / most of them in the first place rather than putting blame on a manager not being able to make a silk purse from them.

A reflection of how little we create from midfield, the way I see it. Apparently Nuttall has been shit for the other 10-12 games he's played, by all accounts. One swallow etc.

I believe he wanted to move more South / South West. It's likely that ruled us out if anything.

This could well be that he rates McGahey higher in terms that he's more flexible and has a better chance of moving one of the others on to make room in his budget, especially if he brings in a fee for one of them.
