Payne is a proven NL goalscorer so I'd get him signed up straight away.

This,

PH will have to take a few gambles on who he feels can make it from the “rough diamonds” etc., those who can play higher but are unproven or our of favour, like Nolan was (if I recall correctly)


In a small squad with a budget that isn't the highest you have to take a couple of gambles. When they go right, like Nolan did, it usually results in achieving your goal. When they go wrong like Payne has and Brodie before him, it results in failure.

See the troll DB - who is by - passing the signing in process - is not happy.

UTM


As far as I know, I go through the signing-in process. So what's the problem and what am I not happy about ?

Quoted from DB
The starting point for me is those under a contract who are:-
Macca
Waterfall
Morais
Rose
Williams
Wright
Gibson
Ira Jackson
LJL
Scannell

So those I would want would be Macca, LJL, and possibly Morais ( depending upon yesterdays debacle) to give some experience to younger squad players and a bit/sub player. He can't last 90 mins but is useful at times.

As for the rest, I'd ask them to tear up their contracts and leave, ship them out on loan to anybody, furlough if we still can, or merely advise them they train with the youth.

Those out of contract I'd resign:-
Clifton
Habergham
Battersby
Hewitt

I would want the likes of Matete and Menayese but I can't see them wanting NL football.

So with these 7(9) it would be up to Hurst, with a decent budget, to ouse words to get his first choice transfer targets to sign for us. Targets being 2/3 decent strikers.


Based upon what we’ve seen this season the list of players who are under contract is frightening and not in a good way.

DB never shows up on the users forum of people signed in - whereas, as far as I can see - every other forum user does   ? So - what is making you so special ?

I use to and now I don't. I don't know why I'm not a wizz kid on these things unlike some. I do know of others that are not on that list and it doesn't bother me, so why should it bother you. What I do know is it says I'm logged.

Surely it is what's said that matters and as long you have a user name that should be it. You also said that I'm not happy. Not happy about what?

I think the system just assumes that DB is permanently logged in. If he tries to log out the server crashes.

Personally I’d leave it to a manager we employ to make these professional judgements.
