LightDN123 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 43 minutes ago, HarryBosch said: What do you mean by this? Well we started last season with no scouts/analysts ect. He’s now got a full structure behind him, as confirmed by himself so between them surely they have the capacity to sign a competent right back for the national league ? We arnt exactly looking for a 20+ a year striker or midfield creator which are massively sought after, we just want a bloody right back.

I liked the look of the tenacious 19yo Leicester City right back Joe Wormleighton, but I believe we require someone permanent rather than a loanee. As far as you know you were the first one. You obviously spotted something that the club liked but isn’t it possible that they already had him under review? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzlatic Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Its interesting from some of the comments on here what seems to be classed as success or failure. I wrongly assumed that getting promoted would be seen by everyone as being success and a vindication of the board sticking with Unsworth last season. But it looks like style of play or how we start and other factors like that might still mean he fails in the eyes of some even if he takes us up. Nothing wrong with that I guess, everyone is entitled to their own views and to what they want to see when they watch the game. I'm just a bit surprised after all this time without a promotion!

What we're you expecting going into last season, because to me the club was a mess so a promotion challenge was a non-starter. The club turned round during the season which is why we go into this one expecting a promotion challenge While I don't see last season as one to justify an open top bus parade I can't at all see it as a poor season given the circumstances. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave can wear a crown if he gets us promoted and same here, I couldn't care less how win's are achieved, just as long as we're nicely placed at the business end of the table. First 3 games and 3 wins would be a huge statement of intent from the manager, Then we can take it the party's really on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really.....so he turned us down....to continue playing in the Northern Premier League where amazing football is played weekly ....because he didn't like our style of football!! Never heard such bollocks. He's still at Mac I believe.... so wonder why he hasn't moved to City yet if that's his rationale. Think their manager has been on the mushrooms....

You’d best tell me how those bollocks taste fella because it’s the gods honest truth. He didn’t think our style of play would suit him and he doesn’t rate Unsworth (he’s a scouser as well) so instead he signed a new contract on what is crazy money for the level he’s playing at because he knows he’s ultimately going to a football league club so he’d rather continue to be the main man, have everything go through him and stay in focus until that happens. Their manager grew up with Ant Gerrard and Lee Trundle and told me some good stories about them but I’m keeping them to myself - don’t want people thinking they’re bollocks now hey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be happy stay as he's on a big long contract in a team which suits his dynamic style of play. If he came here I feel he would be stifled, which IMO is happening to Green now. Robbie Savage thinks he will eventually move to a championship club. He's way ahead of Harry Vaughan in ability and we know where he went.

He was playing for Tranmere when it was one of Harry Vaughans first games. Says their dressing room had a chuckle when they saw him before the game but then they were all raving about him afterwards.

Gaz_Oafc Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 @b0ndl1ne any truth in the rumour that James Berry is going to Chesterfield? One of my mates has a contact at Macc and he seems to think it's on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
