You will be disappointed then? 

I trust the manager and backroom staff to bring in what THEY see as the right players to keep us up. Any known 20 goal a season striker is unlikely to come to us as just about every top club will want him.

I seem to recall another Irish striker who bombed with us recently only to go on to pick up caps, play at the World Cup and currently doing pretty well in the English Championship. 

I assume you have watched BL playing for his various clubs?  Typical response to judge a young player before he has taken his jacket off and kicked a ball. Surely, like all new arrivals, he deserves to be judged if selected and played? Is he better than CMcP? I haven't a scooby and neither do you I would wager.

I don't think AF would be worrying about his football CV at this late stage of his career.

Exactly. Portion control, cutting out high processed foods and being more active (walking is ideal) led to me losing 3 stone in a year. It's a lifestyle change and not dieting. Eat the things you enjoy but control how much you eat to cut down on sugar, fat and carbs.

You need to factor in the wages released by all those who have left. That'll pay for several new players.

Ian, it's the 7th Jan mate. There is likely to be a lot happening behind the scenes. Plenty of time yet. Also, it's just the end of the Xmas period with people going back to work. Only time will tell but I wouldn't despair yet.

Personally, I am patient enough and would rather we brought the right players in rather than do a Stubbs and bring in a lot of sub standard ones.  Noone knows what work is being done behind the scenes at the club but I am confident that OK, Gus and others are working hard. Having allowed Stubbs to waste money on so many poor signings, I feel the club has learned from this and taking a bit more time.

Surely he deserves more game time and get up to speed and fitness to judge that comment? If he was 'shite' don't you think the manager - best person to judge - would have had him on his list of players to go?

And to you buddy.

Merry Christmas everybuddie  Looking forward to a better half for the 2018/19 season, hopefully!

Better than 1987? Do you remember the following season which ended Alex Smith's reign? Now, that was brutal football.

There is a difference between being sacked (normally associated with dismissal during a fixed contract) and completing your tenure and not being offered a new contract.
