Technically we washed our face or made a profit on Telalovic, Ennis and Wahlsted. I'm not ready to write off O'Riordan just yet. The Forshaw, Dennis / Woodrow signings are what I expect under Gestede.

I liked Eustace a lot when he was here (I'm obviously indifferent about him now), but you do have to wonder. He's bought Sanderson too. If he has Premier League ambitions he has to remove the crutch of relying on older / familiar players.

We're so dysfunctional that I think this club is powered by individuals. Broughton was very good. Park was clearly very good. I have no faith in Gestede to pull a rabbit out of the hat.

Joke's on you, I was broken years ago. A couple of seasons freezing your balls off in the Jack Walker Stand watching Hedges and Dolan as your wide men would break any man. The CIA should take notes.

Only by hopeful fans.

As always, I hope you lose your shirt.

Nope I was talking about Poku.

Bet he's on more than £10k a week...

Name was dragged through the mud twice by Eustace / Derby and then the Women's team too.

I'd like to upgrade on both.

Which again begs the question, why do they want to own this football club?

He won Stanley's Young Player of the Year Award last season. He simply needs game time.

Eustace is the laziest manager on the planet.

They'd both be easily replaceable if we were willing to spend money. Alas.

Do you have to be 30+ to sign for Eustace?

Google him - went to Porto for £20m a few years ago (now at Forest). He's 25. I'd be flabbergasted.

Sheffield Weds have to be nailed on for relegation. No idea how strong the other two promoted L1 sides are - Wrexham will stay up.

We don't seem to commit to anything beyond three years - another indication that at some point the club is going to be wound up I think.

Both those managers got fired, right?

Why is Garrett done here?

When Buckley first broke through I thought "God he's a poor athlete, but there's a football player in there". Sadly he's never pushed on - unfortunately I don't think he's professional enough. JRC is in a similar boat - poor athlete, good football player. He is professional enough, but unfortunately his body has let him down. A ruthless manager / ambitious club would push them both out the door this summer. Especially if we want to employ a high tempo / high press.

You've sacked Garrett off and replaced him with a bloke from Chorley FC. Poor lad.

He signed a 3.5 year contract at a club where the previous manager walked out because he wasn't backed financially. He's not daft. We'll have to pry Ismael out of here - he's here until every penny of that contract is paid.

On the plus side at least it's not a Downing situation again - where we dallied with his renewal, he missed all of pre-season and simply never got up to speed

He wasn't piss poor, I thought he read the game quite well, but his legs have clearly gone.
