Well...we know what division we are in and hopefully that will mean delayed decisions can happen now. Whether that is recruitment or takeover, it will all come out in the wash.

Never simple. I work everyother weekend but I still have a season ticket have from when I was 10 37 now. and when my kids are old enough they will be coming. you don't choose a club you are given one

We only started pre-season today.
There'll be no photos even if he was training, as they'll keep it hush hush if it's true. We didn't leak any photos of CKR for the few weeks he was training with us before he signed.
fair point mate. slways liked Carol so maybe.
get the crosses in ibe. here's hoping
-

Are people seriously moaning about a player putting in the hard yards in the summer, enjoying their football and showing a desire to be in the team?
No one is suggesting he's the only player doing it but Jesus surely we should be commending the lad for showing some bloody passion and desire to get back fit!!!
But no, we have to pull him down and say, well others will be, and his sessions aren't that hard, or he's got a seven year old keeper.... So what, he's practising a thing called technique....
FFS this forum....

I love a good thread like this
Ok. I'm going to go on the assumption that I want to play some kind of 4-3-3, and aim for 2 players in most positions.
Current Squad (contracted beyond June):
GK (3)- Marshall, Roos, Ravas.
LB (2)- Buchanan, Forsyth
RB (2)- Byrne
CB (4)-
CM (6) (lumping together DM, CM and AM) - Bielik, Bird, Shinnie, Knight, Sibley
LW (2) - Lawrence
RW (2) - Jozwiak, Ibe
CF (3 - so we have options)- Kazim-Richards.
From that lot, I would have no problem with Marshall, Byrne, Buchanan (yes, not his best season, but he's the future), 2-3 of those midfielders, Lawrence and Jozwiak being in our "normal" starting 11 next season.
I think Forsyth's time has come to an end, and I think it's time to be shot of Roos. With Ibe I'd be offering him termination if he's not going to get fit, but let's be optimistic and say we'll keep him around. Other than that, I figure we keep everyone because otherwise we'll have no players left.
Of our "out of contract" players, I'd offer Wisdom and Waghorn an extension. Wisdom because I think he can do a job and cover across the back, and Waghorn as, although he's had a bad season, he's a proven Championship level striker, clearly cares about the club, and it would also help with P&L if we keep him for another season. He's also, on his day, still a good player.
From the youth, and admittedly I don't see a lot of them, so maybe I'm wide of the mark here, but I'd promote Ebosele (cover for Byrne), Jordan Brown or Ethan Wassall (cover at CB - depending on who is more ready), Louie Watson, Bobby Duncan (or if we can't get him fit, Stretton) as cheap options for squad players. Also promote whichever keeper is most ready - let's say Yates. With those additions and subtractions... (bolding players that I'd be happy to have in my first XI (when everyone's fit)
GK (3)- Marshall, Ravas, Yates.
LB (2)- Buchanan
RB (2)- Byrne, Ebosele
CB (4)- Wisdom, Brown
CM (6) (lumping together DM, CM and AM) - Bielik, Bird, Shinnie, Knight, Sibley, Watson (sorry Shinnie, but when Bielik's fit, I reckon Bird is the better partner)
LW (2) - Lawrence
RW (2) - Jozwiak, Ibe
CF (3 - so we have options)- Kazim-Richards, Waghorn, Duncan.
So to make a squad that I want, I need:
LB, CBx2, maybe another CM as an option, 2 wingers, and probably another CF.
It already seems that we'll get Mengi back on loan next season, though I would have to admit I'm not sure how highly I rate him from what I've seen so far... so I'm not going to take that into consideration. Would be happy to have one of the wingers and the "extra" CM as loans, but don't want to focus too much on loans.
CB
Kyle Bartley (WBA) - free - wages might be a little high, but I think we could get him - new captain, also, by the way.
Reece Burke (Hull) - free - has played regularly for a promoted L1 Hull side- only 24 - stick him next to Bartley for a couple of seasons and we could have a lynchpin for the next 10 years)
LB
Joe Benett (Cardiff) - free - solid enough LB at Championship level, his experience would help Buchanan - questionable whether he'd come to us for non-guaranteed football, admittedly, but at 31 still has 2-3 years left in him and if Cardiff release him he'd probably come here.
Wingers
Sullay Kaikai (Blackpool) - free - had a decent season in L1, with 15 goal contributions in 33 games. At 25, probably the right age to make the step up and, as with many of these potential options... out of contract in June.
CF
I might try and go for Jerry Yates at Blackpool- everyone talks about Clarke-Harris, and rightfully so, but he's scored a third of Blackpool's goals this season and, at 24, if they don't come up, Championship clubs may come knocking - might get him for around a million, which might not be doable, but still, have to have some optimism.
Add some loans to the mix for a bit of depth in CM and up front....
I'd try and get Roberts back - think he'd be a good option to have.
I'd also like to bring Delap back from City
And finally, bit of a gamble, but Ben Woodburn from Liverpool- only got 1 year left on his contract there so could be one of those "with a view to a permanent"... we did alright with our last Liverpool loanee...
GK (3)- Marshall, Ravas, Yates.
LB (2)- Buchanan, Bennett
RB (2)- Byrne, Ebosele
CB (4)- Bartley, Burke, Wisdom, Brown
CM (6) (lumping together DM, CM and AM) - Bielik, Bird, Sibley, Shinnie, Knight, Watson, Woodburn (sorry Shinnie, but when Bielik's fit, I reckon Bird is the better partner)
LW (2) - Lawrence, Kaikai
RW (2) - Jozwiak, Roberts, Ibe
CF (3 - so we have options)- Yates, Delap, Kazim-Richards, Waghorn, Duncan.
I reckon with a better manager, and only about £1m in fees, that's a good team in this league.
duncan as shown nothing to see him near the first time picture
-
this all depends on the new owner. if it us our Eric then will he bye the 20mill striker he thinks we need?.Will HE buy the players he as listed that would struggle to get work permits (worrying)
all will he that others run the recruitment side..
-

-
