    I like your sentiment, but Donaldson is basically ready to retire and become a coach now.

    If he doesn't play a single minute for us again, it will show our recruitment has worked. He's nowhere near professional level anymore.

    According to T&A report today, 6 other clubs were chasing him, and he turned down more lucrative offers as he had his heart set on joining us

    amazing how Turnbull et al can unearth these signings, yet Stuart and Kenny couldn't get anyone decent in. Elliot Watt probably the best he managed.

    I think its a number of things:

    1) contacts and access to scouts - you have to be able to find these players and know of their individual circumstances. Very few clubs leave it just to the manager these days.
    2) the ability to negotiate properly and get deals done.
    3) being properly backed by the club.

    On point 3, I think there's a likelihood that we cut back costs as far as possible last January and in the summer, due to a combination of Covid and the club not having a long term plan. We have more certainty over COVID impacts with a vaccine now available, and we have a longer term appointment of a CEO and Recruitment Manager. I don't think Rupp will go nuts, but I think we might see a bit more of a demonstration that money will be spent if its done against a longer term plan for taking the club forward.

    Having watched the video clips of Rowe's goals it is pleasing that he is comfortable shooting with either foot.

    The proof of course will be in the pudding. Let's hope Rowe goes on to score a hat full for us. And | think he will. Man U youngster, two footed, great header of the ball and free kick taker, scored not far off a goal a game for an ever improving Fylde side, and some important goals for a poor Oldham side. The big mystery is I guess, why did it take him so long to get this far? A legacy of non-league players not just being regarded as seriously as they should be over the last five/six years by Div 1 and Div 2 clubs feeding for free off Prem and Champ Under-23 loan players? Hope Danny helps buck this trend.

    Second half we were definitely the better team but we should have gone in one down. There again Hornby is starting to show his colours

    Now on T&A too, sounds like an upgrade on Guthrie.

    Well done to all involved. Certainly whetting the appetite again for the club.
    Hopefully they all gel quickly and we can continue our climb up the league. Would we be greedy if we asked for a left winger and centre mid to top it off?

    Striker I mentioned a while back Josh Davison (Charlton) who was on loan at Woking looks like he has now gone to Forest Green so up a division - be interesting to see how he gets on

    And Tyreke Johnson, winger I mentioned, has left Southampton and signed for Gillingham

    ps Couldnt post on Transfer Thread

    No other club would take that waste of space on, unfortunately for us. The guy is about as bad as it gets.
