Yes you can say he is a journeyman footballer but he was our player of the season and an integral part of the team that made us defensively hard to beat he is a player we should be retaining and not losing out to a club I would suggest we’re in a similar if not slightly lesser financial bracket. The mass exodus begins because of our inability to retain good footballers and begins to break down a team that have had a season playing together and that boded well for a more competitive season but instead we rip the heart out of the team and have to begin to recruit players and re build again that is not how you progress. Charles Grants recent optimism is much deeper than his pockets and I predict another mediocre season on the horizon the club needs more money the board can’t keep writing off £1M pounds and everybody thinking everything in the garden is rosey. I can see we have some of our younger players have a lot of potential and have the possibility of being sold on in the next couple of years to generate some much needed funds but that wont happen if they are playing in a struggling league 2 side for me the academy is only as good as the first team if that is not successful neither will be out academy system.
