ron 110 Report post Posted July 5, 2018 What chances Fraser Hornby ( from Everton) being one on Stubb,s radar for season loan. Saw a bit of him In Toulon tournament for U21's and he looked as if he could be a handful up front. He's over 6 ft so passes the first criteria. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

turrabuddie 1,767 Report post Posted July 5, 2018 With all the 6 footers, that will give Cammy plenty of cover to run riot. Along with Magennis and Flynn.Sad to see a Championship winning squad being dismantled, but we'd be kidding ourselves if we thought they'd be good enough, colletively, to compete for anything other than the bottom 2-3 places.Wouldn't have been any different if JR was in charge.I am currently quietly optimistic about this season, although like many others on here, I would like to see a few more coming in, better still if a couple are more experienced. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
class of 76-77 2,830 Report post Posted July 6, 2018 Jack Ross would have been just as ruthless with the squad that won the league. One thing that became clear as day was he was at the helm. Ross had a ruthless side and Stubbs is no different in terms of he knows what is required in order to compete at this level. My one concern is that he manages to sign enough players of sufficient quality for us to do this. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ross was ruthless in bringing in his own players first time around, but I'm not as sure Ross would have been as ruthless with the squad as Stubbs will be, I accept he would have been ruthless in the starting XI but I would say that there would be an element of loyalty to a number of players in keeping them at the club as the backup and not starters as they were his players. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

madball 496 Report post Posted July 6, 2018 Quite possible madball although he was ruthless enough with Stelios.Agree, however easy decision to make as Stelios was a squad player. Think Ross would've taken 1st teamers with him, and pruned the rest of squad. Stubbs I reckon has applied the logic that only a few last season starters good enough to start going forward and the rest at best would be squad players, and from that whether he felt get better with equivalent money 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magic Monkey 4,676 Report post Posted July 8, 2018 The one nagging doubt I have is looking at what happened with Stubbs at Rotherham. He arrived with some bold ambitions in terms of who he was going to be signing. For whatever reason - and Stubbs says the funds he'd been promised weren't available - very few of his signing targets came off, and they were utter mince. His successor lasted even less time than Stubbs did; presumably the squad was rotten. He blames the Rotherham board, and I believe him. I just hope we're in a position to actually sign the players he has in mind. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
