    RE Cole Stockton, I doubt we could have afforded him. Sparks said there were quite a few Morecambe players who have massively upgraded their contracts this summer.

    bear in mind the higher level as well as that money, when we are sticking to our principles and not being held to ransom for run of the mill L2 types…..its how Zanzala moved to Barrow over us by the look of it. We stuck to our guns.

    Shame we didn't get Stockton, nor fussed at all about Zanzala.

    The predicted exodus of Morecambe players to us didn't obviously happen, apart from Songo'o of course. Other than Stockton, I wonder if Adams tried to bring any other player with him from Morecambe.

    MK Dons linked to land Sam Lavelle, who I believe was their player of the year

    That would make sense. When i worked in Manchester noone wanted to audit in Barrow as its miles away. I did as its was 40p a mile. You go north and then jave to go west for ages. It really is in the middle of nowhere. If you only had to go for matchdays would be far more attractive

    Identified by Turnbull, approved or not by Adams.

    And Adams has the final say. It’s on one of his early interviews

    Thought that was the case with Zanzala tbh.

    Just look around our ground, the history of the club and the man in the dugout.

    if you want to play for some tinpot side for the sake of a few hundred quid extra per week instead then fair do’s. Id rather we signed players that back themself to earn an extension on the back of a good year or bump up a lower basic via add ons.

    zanzala just a bang average no mark like so many in the division.

    Derek is the dogs bollocks and we are winning the league with the mindset he and Sparks have created.

    Crewe wasted no time showing him the door. Looks very similar in stats to Angol, time will tell who was the better choice.

    The technical areas will be lively when Barrow come to Valley Parade.

    More likely to be a scuffle in the directors bar

    Who mentioned Pele? You said he wasnt good enough for Bradford. Hes scoring goals in the league above. Was available for free. Adams wanted him. You wrote him off....he is obviously good enough. Last season proof kid.

    Lingard was crap and in Man Utds reserves. He had a purple patch and still didnt go to the Euros. Vindicated.

    PS no need to bite. I didnt let you know directly.

    Quite right. Lingers has never been England quality. West Ham is his ceiling. Dont think Rashford is all that either.

    29 England caps over five years, he’s hardly Zidane or Scholes, but you don’t get that many by being shit. There are players ahead of him in the pecking order now, but 29 England caps probably puts him in the top 100-150 most capped England players ever. That’s not luck.
