Retained list

[Elite_Pie]

To me that retained list means the recruitment team have a very big job on their hands this summer. The defence looks fairly solid, but the midfield is severely lacking physicality and creativity, and the strikeforce looks short on options and goals. If McGoldrick doesn't renew, we have lost our two best players (three if you count Crowley). There are some very large gaps to fill, and if we persist on taking a punt on 'players for the future' I think we can write next season off. We need guaranteed first teamers, not squad fillers.

Further to that, this season our average attendance was over 2,000 more than any other club that will play in League 2 next season. I hope our budget reflects that, because our attendances won't last if we are happy to be a 'sustainable' League 2 club.

If we sacked SM and made an exciting appointment that the fans liked it could make a massive difference in season ticket sales.

If SM was going to be sacked i reckon Didzy would be 100% re-signed by now.
I know which one id rather have at the club.

I agree completely and I would also suggest that if they do continue taking that punt there will be a fair degree of disillusionment surfacing. I can live with a complete rebuild across midfield this close season followed by a forward rebuild at the end of next season and it seems logical for a sensible ownership to do the complete rebuild over three close seasons but that would be about it for me. Intentions will be fairly obvious over the next couple of months.

Throw in it being Roberto Gagliardis first transfer window. And his history is incredibly sketchy. Is he even qualified for player recruitment? I'm not confident the recruitment is going to be any good. Probably the most important summer since the bros taking over. Get this wrong and we could.be in serious trouble.

Wasn?t he doing recruitment at Portsmouth for Danny Cowley for a few years?
