Players to Win the Conference

Quoted from Son of Cod

I've defended PH quite a lot and think he did a very good job the first time round. However, I don't agree with this idea that he'll be good in the non-league transfer market a second time around simply because he was before. He was in that world as one of the up and coming managers back when we appointed him. There's no way his finger will be on the pulse as much as it was back then, with regards to non-league players. He's not going to bring a Macca and a Pearson in with him from an old club to form a 5+ season long solid base with and I highly doubt that he's going to strike gold by signing a Disley as one of his first CMs and a Hearn as one of his first strikers.

Disagree totally with this. His focus will be on players at that level, even when he was at Ipswich. He will know plenty of players from League 1 down I would guess. He will also know the up and coming players from the top leagues, who we can get on loan, or pick up if they are released.

Interesting to see what our budget will be under the new administration

At least 200,000K more than it would have been if Fenty was still in charge

A goalscorer plus a clever billy clarke type player. Some left footed players for left midfield/wing. Hewitt and menayese at the back. The equivalent of coke n matete in midfield, and yes some conference players who have the winning mentality

  I would totally trust Paul Hurst to put together a squad fully capable of getting promoted from the National League or competing at the right end of League Two IF he is given the budget to entice players who would otherwise go somewhere else. Even then, no one can guarantee promotion as that requires an element of luck too ( especially as regards avoiding injuries to key players ). I bet he's already thinking about names we have never heard of, whichever league we are in next season. Hopefully he will be able to keep the players from the current squad that he wants too. At the end of the day, money talks.

Not sure who, but wide players that can get in behind non league full backs, 2 x strikers 1 tall one 1 fox in the box. A CM who can arrive in the box at the right time like Dis used to.

Personally I'd try and get Shaun Pearson back as we'll need someone with real experience and knowledge about that league who is part of the playing staff.

Padraig Amond would be my choice

Quoted from Theimperialcoroner

He also signed Summerfield and that other dud from York who had Ben relegated. It showed.

Leave Summerfield alone - Bully

Six clubs in the play-offs in the National League and one automatic promotion. If we cannot gather a squad to get into the play-offs (at least) I would be amazed.

However, the problems in the club are deep seated and need to be sorted out. If there is unrest behind the scenes them it is usually reflected on the pitch.

Paul Hurst seems to have the trust of the new owners and that is a good starting point for him to be allowed to rebuild the team.

The club made the sports section of the Observer on Sunday and I have never known that before. But it was for all the wrong reasons and reflected badly on this once greatly respected club. The guy who did the head butting should not play for this club again.

It should be a given that we be challenging for the play off in that league ( I know it’s not). We need to do something we’ve not done for forty years though and win a league. Play offs are too much of a lottery.

Assuming the worst happens we should have one of the best playing budgets in the Conference.

There will be only two clubs on full EFL parachute payments and one will be us.
