    It was also mentioned on a Stockport fan podcast . If he thinks he’s comfortable at that level then he’s not the one for us.

    Yes the other half worked in London, and stayed there until Friday. We are comparing chalk with cheese here. Players usually start training at 9/10 ish not sure tbh, then away again by 2ish. Honestly if he wants to go, that is his decision and as a club we do not want players who are not fully committed to City.

    Power: Too much debate over nothing. Just him be gone and it closes the matter for everyone. He did a job for a season and someone else can do it next season

    Maybe he doesnt fancy the commute over the M62 from Merseyside where he lives and Tranmere on the doorstep?

    Questions re Power, who is providing the tar and feathers? Are horsewhips available on Amazon, have you booked the stocks at Liversedge?

    Absolutely right .
    All this stuff about Power is unnecessary imho, it’s a fact of footballing life . I hate whataboutism but here’s some City fans should compare our “ plight” .

    Stockport , just lost for whatever reason their most successful manager in their history, lost their most successful DoF in their history, the owner is said to be retreating on funding their ANNUAL £10m losses , the squad budget is being slashed as a result . Additionally they like all of us have to cope with harsher financial EFL rules .They are stuck with more or less the same highly paid squad with only half of the attendances we see , yet only capable of releasing three players at least one fans wanted to really keep ( OB)Their fans are in for a real shock in comparison to BCAFC supporters?
    Credit to our owner , supporters and Management team for the stability we seem to have developed .

    Another new name mentioned on another forum, Isaac Hutchinson. He's a 26 year old central midfielder, more the box to box type. He had a falling out at Bristol Rovers last year and in August he went on loan to Cheltenham and scored 15 goals with 3 assists from midfield in 34 games.

    Bristol confirmed that they have had two bids from L1 sides for Hutchinson and Kamil Conteh (DM, Ex-boro who were were linked to when he was at Grimsby) and they were both short of their valuations.

    Hutchinson's family were subject to abuse from fans after he had a poor start to his career at the Gas. He subsequently went to Cheltenham on loan where he was an instant success.

    Since the season ended Hutchinson has told Steve Evans he wants to play at a higher level now. It would seem Evans his happy to grant his wish provided they get an agreeable fee for him.

    Maybe we can dangle Tommy Leigh to Steve Evans as part of a deal for Hutchinson, if indeed we are one of the clubs interested?

    Where's this Hutchinson name come from? Couldn't get a game at Bristol Rovers with Smallwood and Leigh helping them to great second half of the season? Stats point to a league 2 player.

    Outed as BS, saw 1 or 2 comments on the piece saying he was Bradford bound.

    Worth a go, "IF" we are one of them. Someone on Twitter has responded to their journo mentioned he's heard we are after Hutchinson. Bit of talk between the two on the thread, looking at the Rovers forum apparently Conteh has a terrible attitude and they are resigned to not getting much of the £300k they spent on him back.

    He left Bristol way before Smallwood and Leigh came in. Went to Cheltenham on loan and scored 15 from midfield.

    L2 aside, the kid obviously has an eye for goal from the central midfield positions - something we have been crying out for. If we can get him at a decent price and maybe even offer Leigh as a makeweight then its definitely worth a punt. Last season didnt look a fluke either, he scored 12 and assisted 11 for Walsall in 23/24 season.

    We arent signing a 15 goal L1 midfielder anytime soon because a) they cost too much and b) they are Championship bound.
