    If our position is hopeless by then I would keep it in the bank and look to develop some of the younger players and bring in a couple of loanees

    Who do want Brin, given your hatred for an up and coming fella like Stubbs?

    Sota...I take it your post is tic? Never said I hated Stubbs but admit to saying he was stubborn and wouldn't change things when all around him could see his style wasn't working...

    Who knows he may cut his management teeth in non league and make a name for himself... thing is it's proven that this level is too big for him ....

    Who do I want? It's not who I want as TS will make the ultimate decision but if I had the choice I'd go for Evans but with constraints on spending .... He's more than proven himself and can deliver.... failing that I'd give Blackwell a go as he fits the mould for us and he's got championship knowledge....

    Kenny Jackett? If he's given the job he'll get my support but he's not my first choice... like I said though I'm not the chairman so it's all in TS's hands again..... who'd be a football chairman eh?

    I hope that TS has a few cheques left in his chequebook, because the following need replacing as soon as possible

    Adeyemi, Broadfoot, Wood, Wilson, Mattock, JCH - all crocked to varying degrees
    (Will Broad foot, Wood and JCH actually make another Millers appearance? Wrong decision in the summer to give Broadfoot and Wood another year on their contracts, plus Wilson is an awful player). We've no idea about the fitness level of Balckstock either - but it is obviously not good

    Kelly, Forster-Caskey, Allan - simply not good enough (Kelly shouldn't have been given another year's contract either)

    We can only hope that Frecks and Newell are fit enough to play enough games to keep us up, as we have no cover of the same standard

    Look at above list, then consider that Best, Derbyshire, Dawson and Smallwood were deemed surplus to requirements!!!

    Whoever we sign - PLEASE nobody else from Forest

    Forgot about Belaid - another one for the crocked list and unlikely to make another first team appearance
    We've actually got quite a big squad - so much for "quality, not quantity"
    We've wasted an amazing amount of money on contracts of crocked players

    Brin, I can only assume you must have pinched Sota's marbles back in the old East Herringthorpe days.
