Bristolatic Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 There's a rumour flying round (on Sky, I think) that Dino is interested in Emmanuel Sonupe, winger from Stevenage. That's just what we need; someone who played for a team that won three games all season and got relegated. Yes, I'm guilty of judging without seeing him play. If he turns up, that is.

Clubfootkilkenny Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I think it’s a positive we are offering contracts and being linked with players, especially when it’s not clear when the season will start. I expected everyone to be released without any attempt to strengthen until weeks before the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn’t play against us in the goalless(*) draw earlier this year and in fact only played 9 games in total during the season. * Segbe had two goals disallowed in the game.

Everyone knows my thoughts on the recruitment strategy over the last 2 years its been unacceptably poor and the results have backed this up and while I'm fairly "meh" about the foreign lads moving on its one thing to get rid of those under performing players but if we bring in an equally poor group of domestic players then its going to be no better. The owner 12 months ago said his aim was to go for promotion the season just gone and take us to the championship in 5 years, last season resulted in our worst league finish in over 50 years so it can only describe it as an abject failure. Infact any season that we spend in league 2 and doesn't result in a push for the top 7 should be regarded as failure if you want proof of that try looking at the actual top 7 in league 2 last season Swindon Town Crewe Plymouth Cheltenham Exeter Colchester Northampton Town The only club who could rightly claim to be bigger club than us are Plymouth but for the vast majority of their history they have been on a par or even below where we are at in the footballing pyramid. We have spent most of the last 30 plus years competing on the same level as Swindon Town we have been at the same level if not higher than Crewe Northampton Colchester and Exeter and anyone who thinks we can't compete with Cheltenham Town should get in the sea. The January window showed an improvement in the recruitment strategy and in the playing squad so it is possible so lets not rule anything out Covid 19 will obviously have an impact but that will effect every club and as a result its likely to be a buyers market this summer as most clubs will struggle and players will have to drop wages. Their will be value to be had in the transfer market however I'm not holding my breath that we will find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact the retained list is so late, is probably down to options being problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money they saving making ‘derisory’ offers is helping towards offering Dearnley a two year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
