Just think we need to stick with a decent manager for more than 18 months … the Ferguson case at United is the prime example of sticking with a manager and things coming good later…there are numerous other examples …in all the leagues…
 Besides, with our money situation we would not have the resources to bring in another manager in the short term and he be allowed to start building another team.
Yes, the modern way seems to be to sack rather than stick but if we are progressing (and I don’t equate that completely to being promoted now) then I believe we need to have faith ..
Others want and demand short-term success- and that’s fine and their view- I just don’t see this season as being a make-or-break one …

Interesting to hear him almost admit that if we don’t get promoted this season then he could get sacked . We need stability and whilst he has been brought in as a League 1 promotion ‘expert’ I don’t want to see us changing mangers if we don’t manage it this season- much of the team still isn’t his and it will take another year to get that to that point - maybe a bit longer .
When he says that a couple of players he was after went to other League 1 clubs I’m sure one of those is Alfie May …
Man, he can talk ….. but a good interview albeit regurgitation of some stuff stuff we have heard before ..

Look how long it took Sunderland to get out of this league - they are a much bigger club than us in all honesty and their fans had the same expectations of instant promotion as do many of ours..:
What Plymouth did last year with a small fan base and a small budget shows the true situation.
Without a quality striker (pref 2) and a really creative midfielder I don’t see this season being any different to last. That doesn’t mean that I am not hopeful !
Funny enough with all the defensive recruitment this close season I still feel we looked the most assured when we had Cash and Fozzy playing next to each other last season …: that’s before PW started tinkering and playing around with a back three…. Which I don’t like 🤷‍♂️

What’s unusual and a bit interesting is how he/they speak of an annual budget this year and include recurrent (wages) expenses and capital outlays (transfer fees) in that one number ..
Would be interesting to know how the incoming transfer income (Knight) is being accounted for in all of this … sounds like it’s being used to either ‘bank’ or to pay off some form of debt…

Nice goal. But more important it’s good to see our midfielders actually getting in the box …

Everyone makes the odd mistake …. See it all the time … it’s pre-season so best time to do it ..🤷‍♂️👍

To be fair he’s up against a quality of player he won’t meet in League 1..

One swallow does not a summer make …
One mistake does not equal ‘error prone’…
Yes, bad mistake - but name a player who has never made one ???
