Interesting quote from their Manager

"it’s going to be up to Charles to secure his place this season"

So he hasn't been bought to go straight into the first team. He might not play a single game all season if he doesn't pick his game up to speed or standard of League 1

He might not be too fussed either way having secured a 2 yr deal on improved terms at this testing time. Good luck to him and i hope he tears through that Division next year....especially when he faces Hull

Now that it’s been settled I just want to see some update from the club as to where we’re at financially and what the transfer policy is going to be.

A lot of squads seem to be building at the minute and we don’t even seem close to even starting which is worrying, especially given very few other clubs have made the wage cuts we have.

Sounds like standard manager talk to me. Surely that quote applies to the whole squad?

Don’t get your hopes up. Remember those weird statements mid lockdown, may be it’s just me but they read very much like we shouldn’t be getting our hopes up. They didn’t seem cautious more that the ambition is still lacking somewhat.

I’m not suggesting for a minute that it would be sensible going out and just spunking cash, especially given that the only obvious cash that has gone in/will go in in the last few weeks is crowd funder money. It just seemed like Day/the club were getting their excuses in early for a potentially excrement season.

I know people will say we have Holloway and that seems to be enough for some to indicate we’ll have a good season but he still needs to bring players in. Time will tell I guess, I’m sure he has targets and as I said, it’s understandable that we wouldn’t go nuts just yet, we don’t even have a start date, I just hope we don’t miss the boat on some players...

I wish Vernam all the best, seemed to come alive once Jolley had gone, I guess for Burton the fear would be what if he returns to the player that showed all the potential but didn’t deliver when Jolley was here...


'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza

I want to be fighting at the top as much as anyone but if we play our cards right, we could have a mid-table season but with lots of our young talent getting games.

Once fans are allowed in, the first thing we need to do is get Pollock tied down because it would be unforgivable if he left for nothing next summer.

Ollie won't settle for us being lower half of the table  he will bring in loan players who will be better than what we have.

He said himself he has many contacts around the world as well as this country so I expect us to be better off than most L2 clubs.

There will be very few clubs splashing the cash this season.

It's the usual suspects splashing the cash and it never works for Mansfailed. Bolton seem to be splashing the cash. You would think they would realise that is part of the reason they are down here now.
