There seems to be a 'more than usually fraught' atmosphere on here today from a few. (Maybe it's just the warm weather?)
    For me it's the transfers so far. They are massively disappointing. The wait for a HC isn't ideal but i trust the brothers to deliver in the same way that they have delivered a new training ground and put in place an interesting pre season tour.

    The arrival of Gagliardi grates a bit because until now he has been faceless. He hasn't done any media, we've had no photos, nothing at all from the club regarding his arrival, ethos or plans. Yet he has been trusted to move for players on our behalf and has signed some very underwhelming ones to kick off his reign. This on top of reports from fans of his other clubs that he was responsible for signing some right duds.

    I don't like being negative, especially in close season when we should be feeling optimistic about next year...but the Comms from the club are uncharacteristically poor at the moment. Just what is the plan?

    You just are being negative, if you believe Norburn and Dennis are underwhelming singings I feel like you need to realise we're in league two and they are likely to be two of the better players in the league this coming season.

    We're obviously building for depth too with the loanee, who's quite highly regarded, and the midfielder we've just signed.

    Highly regarding by who? Clearly not the Huddersfield manager who doesn't think he is up to League One yet.

    Norburn barely played last season and couldn't get a look in at Blackpool and Dennis has had 2 good months in 6 years.

    I'm not interested in depth, we're Notts County not Arsenal. I don't want squad fodder - we've just got rid of that. We needed a handful of quality players bringing in to make our starting 11 competitive.

    Forget it, our new strategy is to sign

    Forget it we're only signing no hopers, and not any old no hopers, but injured no hopers

    Mate, get out a bit. If you genuinely think the owners have signed no hopers, there's no hope for you.

    No. No decent manager would want to be work in our system and relinquish control over recruitment and footballing style.

    It's a job for a coach, not a manager.

    That'll be because nobody actually knows the answer. Therefore we're all just giving our best guesses based on the info we have, rather than leaving you hanging with no replies. Nobody wants to see a fellow Pie left hanging.
