    In which case he needs to clear some out, and if it is engrained it must be those that have been here longer keeping it going rather than new faces such as Turnbull but he probably remembered what happened when Edin cleared people out previously

    Who with any influence within the club would meet those criteria?

    I don't know but people have said it is engrained in the club and then it can take years to change so it must be those there longer that are keeping it going

    Possibly explains why Adams didn't want to talk him up after Crawley, knew he was on his way and just sidestepped it with a MEH type response.

    Alternatively, could have bigged him up and added a few grand to the selling price!

    No doubt followed by anyone that signs. that they're 6 weeks away from playing as they need to do a mini pre-season:confused:

    Fairly obvious is that. But whom we bring in and the relative qualities, are what us fans will be keen to uncover.

    Yes a simple comment like "yes he can change a game" when the interviewer said he though Crankshaw did well when he came on.

    Going into the free agent market at this stage would be a waste of money. For a start I'm not sure there's any players of real quality that are realistic options for a L2 side. Then they aren't even fit and you'll spend the next 6-8 weeks trying to get them ready, by which point January will be around the corner.

    Keep the money and get January right.

    Yeah funny that the most effective player on the pitch gets sold in the same way Danny Rowe did.

    I agree but come January “it’s a sellers market” “we didn’t want to just sign anyone” ad nauseam

    If we had spent the wage budget, anyone any idea what this sale has freed up wages wise? Can’t see it being much

    I wouldnt call Danny Rowe the most effective player on the pitch. He could hit a ball, and on target, but as a team player he wasn't all that.

    Me neither. What will we have got for a player Adams didn't rate? £20K? Add this to the wage we've saved. Nothing to get excited about.

    No, we're on a tight budget like every other Lg 2 side who've been hammered financially by the pandemic. It's current reality, mate.

    I expect the job spec will include "must be prepared to work Sundays and Monday to Saturday". That'll dissuade a few of the wasters!!

    Hammered by the pandemic?

    The majority of matchday staff on furlough and raking in money through I follow sales? I bet we didn't lose anywhere near the amount you might think we have.
