Radio Humberside suggesting Hanson willing to take a pay cut to secure a move back up north.


Would be a great signing!

Would get around 10 goals, and boost Green and the midfielders record

At least we can laugh about all this stuff now. We've come a long way since we had the fridge and Bambi on ice in defence.


Have we??

We went into non league after them, and now find ourselves in the same, or slightly worse position in league 2.

How can you possibly compare our situation in League 2 mid way through the summer, when the fixtures haven't even been released, we've made one signing and havent even kicked a ball in pre season.

I would be stunned if we started this season with a centre back pairing that is even remotely comparable to the shambles that was Heywood and Hope.

If we start the season with Ludwig on his own at the back it’d be better than Heywood and Hope together!

Seeing that "we went into non league after them" (in your own words), how on earth can we be in a slighty worse position now?

The poster I replied to stated "we have come a long way since those two defenders were here."

My reply was that obviously we have not come a long way since then; we got even worse when we got relegated and last seasons 17th placed finish is slightly worse than when they were playing.

I haven'tt looked it up where we finished that season as I am making the obvious point that we have not "come a long way" at all; at best we are where we started - strugglers in league  2.

I think it is about time everybody admitted we have been rubbish for nearly two decades; we have had some individuals who have lit things up like Reddy and Connell, but have remained stuck in leagues 4 and 5 and show absolutely no sign of doing anything about it.

Splitting hairs about which was the worst centre half pairing is missing the point.

Still, at least we won't be having a squad of alcoholics representing us next season as we did the season after Hope was here.

I interpreted 'coming a long way' as a journey, as in 'we've been to the depths of non-league and emerged from it'.

We're back at the same starting point, but we've had a lot to reflect on since the days of Hope & Heywood.
