The rot started before Bignot and Slade. In fact it began also immediately after that fantastic Wenbley day
More could have been done to keep the nucleus of the promotion winning side together if only more money had been invested
I don't dispute that it needed strengthening to cope with Div 4 but better cash offers could and should have been made to keep Amond Toto and Arnold at the club. Money talks and if sufficient had been dangled in front of them they would have stayed.
Nolan should have been made a tasty enough offer to get him to sign permanently. Pearson, Tait, Clay and East should have been retained together with Disley and Bogle to form the basis with the others mentioned of a decent side (certainly one which would stuff the current team)
An opportunity missed which less than two years later is biting us badly

Oh the same Danny East who is foundering about in non league? I thought he was gash.
Our current full backs are worse than gash and anyway I advocated keeping him for that first season back in Div 4 as part of a good co-ordinated proven squad. The wheel was loose at the start of the 2017/7 season due to the team being split up and shortly after Hurst went it came off completely. |

What on earth was Clarke thinking making that challenge, from behind, with covering defenders, with the lad going away from goal? He's supposed to be an experienced defender and our captain....... leading the way! Don't see what he offers... Bring in Suliman I say, he can't do much worse IMO!

He brought in better players but where they better professionals? He disengaged popular senior pros which had a negative impact on the group, he failed to reduce the wage bill, he added a head of recruitment who just seemed to set out the cones, he hung players out to dry in the media, he dropped the better players for the bigger games, he signed Gavin Gunning and told us how great he was and he set the team up with some crazy
tactics and formations. Additionally if reports are to be believed his buys where on silly money and an even sillier bonus structure.
Apart from that he did o.k. in his 6 months.
And where are these senior players now? Slade got rid of Pearson and Disley! Macca spit his dummy out because he was replaced by a better keeper. He never got chance to reduce the wage bill because he wasn't given the summer to get rid of the dross.Look at the dross that Slade brought in, Woolford, Kelly , Hooper etc. If his buys were on silly money then that is down to the Board in endorsing that. He dropped better players to try experimental formations - we were safe and he had the luxury of experimenting without it affecting the clubs' league status. He only signed Gunning until the summer - we don't know if he would have retained him. |

I don't think bignot was the fruit loop he was made out to be by our leaders,the players he brought in would not be in a relegation battle like this lot.

He might have been a bt unprofessional behind the scenes and pick some crazy formations but Bignot knew a player when he saw one. You’ve got to ask whether you want one decent player on a good wedge or two shite ones for the same price really....

Really? So that's why Hurst was regularly using Comley, Chambers, Vose and Berret in numerous games before he left. Check out the line up for Luton away when we won and controlled the game from start to finish.
Selective memory of your painting a picture that it was all Summers and Berret before Bignot arrived.
You always comment a big thing of how crap Bignot was, not so sure you were of that opinion until he was sacked but can’t be bothered to check, but in reality he had better players and results then Slade and if we had kept a few of his signings like Osbourne Jones and Clements we would not be in this mess. You are also the leading critic of Gunning who seems appreciated at both Port Vale & Forest Green because he actually does a good job. If Bignot had stayed we would not be in this position and Berrett would be long gone so a double win. At the end of the day Hurst signed the Berrett & Summerfield in the first place so he is certainly culpable and whilst Summerfield has looked good this year I believe this is mainly due to the fact at how poor the rest of the players are. |

If I remember rightly he also wanted to implement an u21 or u23 side to produce more talent although he knew it would take a while rather than getting loanees in.
