Would you not agree that 3-4 signings in key positions could make a difference? Let's not lose sight of the fact that the clubs new owners have been in situ less than 72 hours.

Yes it would, good loanees like we had in Kilkenny, Croft, Lang, Sturridge showed what a big difference can be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So inconclusion that's probably our starting point get those 3-4 new faces in and we can go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have signed Big Mo from Eastenders and I wouldn't be sorry at letting that guy go Dr Jim Weems (he who scored in the fans game) and the other crowd members and medical "staff" were robbed.

SweeperKeeper Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 17 hours ago, GlossopLatic said: His recruitment seemed pretty fine in both January 2016 and January 2017 would you not agree? He didn't add so much to the existing squads either time, although Gerrard and (especially) Palmer were excellent signings. I'm more thinking back to when he was trying to build a squad in his longer stint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 It's going to take months - even years - to correct the almost annihilation of the club at every level that the previous owners in particular have carried out in the last 4 years. The takeover happened last week - we haven't even got season tickets on sale yet. This time last week Mo Lemsegam was Sporting Director. We've got an infrastructure to build as well as many bridges. Stobbs, who was the worst of the worst, smacks of a "we need bodies" signing while the club is in transition. I wouldn't say no one wants to sign for us, because a few obviously have, but I bet many are put off and that's not going to change suddenly with a change of ownership. Promotion is a hell of an ask at the moment - the rot might have stopped, but we've a lot to do to start reversing it. We've got to stick by Shez - the Fondop injury was a massive reason behind the losing run at the end of last season. Friendly results don't mean a thing. Give the club time at every level and see where we are in a few months. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the club time at every level and see where we are in a few months. I agree with this. I know often a change of owner means the new guy wants his own manager, etc. but I think if they move Shez on now it'll feel too much like hire and fire AL, and look how that turned out. Of course if we lose the first 6 on the trot I may hypocritically change my mind! Seriously though, I suspect Shez wants a good crack at promotion, and then however that turns out I wouldn't be surprised if at the end of the season he decides to retire to Spain as previously suggested. I wish him all the best whatever happens in the next few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Scoring goals for fun pre season with the youth team; JAKE FORSHAW (Striker)A strong frontman, he came into the club at U15 level from Preston schoolboys and progressed well scoring many types of finishes.Performing well in the youth team already he’s an old type target man with plenty of mobility to unlock defences.
