Regardless of who comes in, it’s imperative that we put someone in place that knows how to run a football club as well as a business – Swann’s main downfall was that he didn’t and seemingly couldn’t admit that he makes mistakes.
People are talking about ex-players, filmmakers and businessmen coming in, but ultimately we need someone with the proper knowledge at the club otherwise we risk making the same mistakes as before.

I genuinely think Nuttall will get into double figures this season – key for a lot of our players is getting a bit of confidence which will come with some decent performances, and something we were hugely lacking over the last couple of seasons.
We certainly need more upfront though, at the very least someone for Nuttall to play off. Also doesn’t hurt to have a bit of cover.

2 new signings agreed according to Matt Dean on Twitter – Dewhurst and Bunney? Maybe the lad that played against Hudds U23’s?
If it is, got to wonder where the next signings are coming from…

Surely boxes marked ‘Fragile’ must contain Swann Sr’s ego?

21 year old, on loan at Boston last season – not exactly the experience we need…

We seem to be attracting a better standard of staff than we are players

I mean if I suspected I’d have a squad of newly-graduated academy players next season I’d have probably started blooding them sooner rather than later too…
Worst manager ever is a stretch, he’s had a squad half full of rubbish and half full of wantaways.

If anyone is expecting anything other than aiming to survive next season, they are going to be very disappointed.
I’m just hoping that we have a squad of committed players and some more experience, regardless of whether they are perceived as a good signing or not.
Boyce is a decent start as he obviously wanted to come – however the longer the summer goes on, any signings made are likely ones that were probably hoping for other options, and that’s not what we need unless we want a repeat of the last couple of seasons. A keeper with experience is a must – McKeown would be a fantastic signing if he is settled in the area, but I’m still doubtful he would come to us due to his history up the road.
I’d rather have some ‘OK’ players that are going to put a shift in alongside our youngsters than someone who just sees us as a solution for a year or two because they couldn’t get a contract anywhere else. We’ve had too many of those players recently (and possible still have one or two on the books).

I’d have happily chipped in to pay off KDT’s contract, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Gutted that Hippo is the one leaving with some of the players we still have on the books – he’s actually looked like one of the better players Hill inherited.

Honestly, some of these players must have been counting their lucky stars when we offered them contracts.

I think the major problem is that although I very much appreciate we are in an awful position and in terrible form, if we did pull the trigger on Cox – who would want to come here and who could we actually afford?
I feel sorry for Neil, I don’t know if he quite realised the challenge he was facing by taking the job, and I think with a decent squad and budget he would do OK. The club over the last 2 seasons is no place for anyone to learn their trade.
As an aside, I notice Nigel is under a bit of pressure from the fans at Charlton…

Just wait until we have our strikers fit and firing on all cylinders!
