I?m not over confident we will survive.Hammys got some serious recruitment to do.The squad?s poor & we have signed nobody up to now that improves what we have already got.

Lol, I've just been reading where Frog says Matt's happy with the young squad he's got.
He's got to say that. Let's see how it all converts on the pitch and the results he gets from them all.
It's a very brave move to tone down the age bracket as much as he has in his first season, I truly hope it all goes well for Matt. The negative in me says he's had no option but to go down this route due to the reduced budget he's been offered.
All I see at the minute is a climb down from Tony Stewart and this may well be his final year in charge. I recall him saying he's here to the the end but somehow I can't see that and he'll sell up with Richard not in the slightest interested in football.
I'll be the first in the queue for a slice of humble pie if Matt pulls it off and does unbelievable things with this squad. At the moment we are 4 days away from our first pre season friendly and still don't have a full squad!
It's going to have to be an amazing next 3-4 days to show any vast improvement to the team. I know there are enquiries ongoing but these need converting quickly in order to assemble a more stronger spine throughout the team. Evans was quick but this has been very bloody slow.Last edited by Brin; 30-06-2025, 08:30 AM.

Grist, if we end up mid table and considering the meagre offering of a budget Matt has been handed then so be it, that will be an achievement in itself. Stewart better beware though, he may well create a monster in Matt, and I mean that in the nicest way, in that he does very well on such a small budget and other Chairmen/women come knocking for his services.Originally posted by Grist_To_The_Mill View PostEarly days yet Brin, early days
However we finished 13th last season, very much mid table
The signings so far both player and managerial dont look out of place for mid table again
But you never know
All our fans ask for is that our team puts in 100% and attempts to win games through good entertainment. Overall, I feel we are looking at a wind down from Tony Stewart in order to sell up. Get the bottom line in as close order as he can, making it a viable purchase to others to buy into. He has done us immensely proud but I think he's now had enough so time to move on.

Could I ask, how you arrived at mid-table from the signings we have made?Originally posted by Grist_To_The_Mill View PostEarly days yet Brin, early days

The facts suggest relegation...losing arguably the three best players we had - Hump, Oddofin and Wilks and not replacing them from a lower midtable team only spells one thing.
Hamshaw is trying to make out that the kids, and the failed kids, can replace these is a joke. He will be sacked by November throught no fault of his own.
TS will then push Woody into the chair and we will go down. TS will then hand over to RS.

NWC, you obviously know little of Richard's non interest in football then. IF, he did take over the club I would be absolutely amazed.Originally posted by NorthWestCorner View PostThe facts suggest relegation...losing arguably the three best players we had - Hump, Oddofin and Wilks and not replacing them from a lower midtable team only spells one thing.

Who is going to score the goals? We are not going to get many with the rag tag bunch we've got left having lost our best three players. No wide men (yet) two iffy keepers, plus some rookies and lightweights and a few past their best pros. But not to worry we've signed someone from Barrow who can run a mile quite quick. Any further signings will need time to settle in. I can hear that interview now

Brin, I actually know RS fairly well and indeed TS. Whilst you are correct about his little interest in football, I also know that TS will not sell RUFC. As I said on another thread, we are not that far away from the situation at SWFC - aside from the debt level. TS is living in the Championship era and thinks the club is worth £100m plus. Those days are gone but it will prevent us moving forwards. TS is stepping down at the end of this season and RS will have no choice but to take over.Originally posted by Brin View PostNWC, you obviously know little of Richard's non interest in football then.

Out of respect pal, where have you been told Tony's stepping aside at the end of the season? There's absolutely no news about this anywhere.Originally posted by NorthWestCorner View PostBrin, I actually know RS fairly well and indeed TS.

I have commented to my Son though that being 81 next year, he may well have had his full of running the club and if his valuation is met, then he may well sell up.

No news has been published on this Bri, but I know its happening from the connections I have with the club. And mark my words, his valuation wont be met.Originally posted by Brin View PostOut of respect pal, where have you been told Tony's stepping aside at the end of the season?
