We recruited well in some cases, Abbott, Bass, Platty and Bedeu for example but poorly in many others. Apart from Jarvis (when he fancies it) who else has done well?
Others have said that Maynard lost some of his best players, Macca, Dan, Nemane plus Robertson & JJ for most of the season through injury
My fear is that whoever is coming in will have to work under the same conditions and see players coming in that he doesn't want or need
Didn't Saunders in his Interview say that they were watching Jarvis and Whitaker when at Wealdstone and they were their recommendations to the board? I'm not sure it's true that the head coach has no say. Williams brought in Baldwin for example. The manager is on the transfer panel from what I gathered.

In fact, IMO it's because the manager has got involved that we have signed some duffers! We should just leave it to the radar.
