    If we hadn't get rid of Rahic, I reckon he could have been Edin to VP.

    He knew how to pick a relegation cert.

    Apparently Mansfield are the favorites to sign Michael Bostwick who was released by Lincoln. I would have loved him here, but I suppose we can't afford or don't need any centre backs, but I think he's better than what we have got. Also seen talks Mansfield are going to throw money at a promotion at all costs, that could work out to be their downfall if it all goes wrong.

    It depends how they spend their money. Spending big doesn't guarantee success but it gives you a huge advantage if you spend it right.

    If they chuck big wages left, right and centre at big names with no real plan or strategy like edin did then it likely won't work out.

    However, they recently appointed David Sharpe as DoF who, in my opinion, would've been a much needed appointment at City. With his experience of helping to build promotion winning sides at Wigan, I think it may work out well for them.

    We will be lucky to be able to compete with Harrogate Town if they come up,they won't be short of money.

    There will be no money in football after this. It will be teams who use it wisely that will succeed we have had big budgets for the last couple of years where dit it leave us. If loans are free any teams in our position would be mad not to use them

    Cooke and Connolly officially released in the last few days. I'd like Cooke back, he's clearly a good player and much more suited to Stuart than Bowyer, but as much as I liked Connolly I hope we are looking at better.

    Posh have also released Alex Woodyard who I think fits the ball winning midfielder we need.

    Alex Woodyard was in the Tranmere team along with Vaughan.
    Neither player could prevent them being relegated.

    We spent all last Summer hearing how Salford and others including ourselves were going to rip it up with signings and it didn’t happen.
    A lot is going to depend on managerial contacts and his judgment of the few players we are going to bring in.I for one don’t give a damm about who our rivals sign

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
    Ask yourself this why was Woodyard and Vaughan loaned out,should they have not been playing for their parent clubs respectively if they were ripping up trees with performances of note

    Same could be said of Doyle here. Just because clubs allow players to leave doesn't mean they're shit.

    Depends if your in the clique at your club.
    Happens all the time up and down the country.
    And for the record Doyle was shit in Claret and Amber in my opinion.

    Wouldn’t say Vaughan was ripping it up but he certainly wasn’t the worst player we had at times and he would have probably gone on to score 15+ goals in a season we didn’t attack! There’s plenty of tranmere fans on his twitter post asking for him back

    I hope he stays I think playing with the right partner he will score goals. I think before Donaldson got injured they were forming a partnership. As for Hiwulia I like him he would be good in a front three. But your right we are too heavy
