Gingerpele 0 Posted February 10, 2009 Right presuming we manage to stay up, what will we manage next season, will we be bought, will Gunn stay as manger, or one of the coach/AM getting the job, or an outsider, do the board have a secret stash of money for us to spend, or more cheap players, loans and freebies.I hope we keep Gunn as a coach/something else, get Dublin/Roberts/Boothroyd in as manager/coaches. we should have some money to spend, not much more than a Million or two (at the very very extreme most) i think with a bit of confidence, a couple of decent signings, making sure we keep hold of Crofty, getting the youth (Spillane, Renton, Rudd, Daley) into the first team.I think next season will be much better for are club, maybe even getting to the play-offs.sorry for being optimistic, and talking about next season rather than the finale of this one, but hey i felt like it.

Jim Smith 2,339 Posted February 10, 2009 Wish I shared your optimism but we will need a bit more than a couple of million in my book. The only senior players we will have left under contract as far as I can see are;Marshall LappinDruryDohertyStefanovicClinganHoolahanRussellCuretonMacdonaldEven hoping that a few of the kids finally come through we will still need 7 or 8 new players in the summer.

In fact its next season that worries me more than this one, because almost everything we have is short term. Everyone could effectively leave, from the manager, coaches, loans, out of contracts (Croft), permanents (Clingan?), and even the board if the offer is right. The whole club will have to rebuild once again, whatever division we are in.Personally I''d still take someone like Boothroyd if possible. Realistically, I think it will be mostly what we have now, perhaps with Butterworth or Crook taking over from Gunny who will step aside. I think play-offs and top 10 are going to be out of our grasp and it will be another battle for survival - cannot see where the money will come in apart from player sales. Admire your optimism though GP and I certainly hope the kids break through. [Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xxxx 0 Posted February 10, 2009 Next season we will be in League 1 , i think we are nailed on certainties for the drop , clueless owners , manager who should not have got anywhere near the job and a squad of borrowed 3rd rate players . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted February 11, 2009 I know everyone would rather we stayed up, but the comments saying its nailed on and others like it are just silly, were not in the best form, but we can get better, other teams can as well, but we just have to hope, i think a key will be getting a few 1-0 or 2-1 that we dont seem to manage, because they end up at 1-1 most of the time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted February 11, 2009 I am more optimistic. Firstly i think we will stay up but by the skin of our teeth. I think the current management team will stay and that we some of the current loans will be kept and some of our youngsters will come through into the team. I do not think anyone will buy us or invest much new cash. I would see next season as being difficult but results wise a bit better than this, lower mid table. That is probably the best we can look forward to Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
