Watched a recording of this last night and it felt like i was watching a share flotation rather than talk about a football team.
Tbh I honestly wouldn’t waste my time watching it I’ve better things to do. In the summer Danson will have been in charge for two years and the progress we’ve made is, we’ve basically got rid of anyone who’s any good and slashed the wage bill abit like getting rid of all the tradesmen then let the apprentices run the show.
This season we should be pushing for a top 6 now that we have a cleared decks. The club will have £7million from the selling of four players (and no doubt Tickle money) not to forget any money from Robinson when he leaves Fulham and a new manager who needs to build a side.
If the manager is not backed and we don’t invest in the squad then I’m afraid the season after next I’ll simply pick and choose my games.
If the owner shows willing then so will the fans it’s as simple as that. How long can he say “Well I’m taking back money it owed me at the takeover that first 12 months”
He knew the script when buying the club, he didn’t go in blind so for me next season he has to show willing that’s football.
No more were building for the future all’s I see is going through the motions. Firstly try getting some ground staff in sort that pitch out, it looks fookin well.
Those sides who don’t invest at some point always suffer the consequence. Even back in the day we bought Barlow for £50k and that was when we had very little but that one player turned it around for us.
I always said from the start 2025-2026 should be when our house is straight and no more excuses. We’ve sides surpassing us sides that in our day they couldn’t lace our boots.
For me we should be in the Championship middle but to achieve that Lowe needs to be able to bring in one or two and I don’t mean loans from Oxford. Seriously, if they were any good would Oxford be loaning them ?, head wobble & get a grip.So less loans, a few experienced players, get that midfield forged and minimum 2 forwards and let’s see more of Cze
When I previously said:-
“This season we should be pushing for a top 6 now that we have a cleared decks”.
I meant this season coming the 25-26 season not 24-25,
I just wanted to clarify that one up, the timescale2 years to sort the club then year 3 push on up the table
Not forgetting the signings……
Norburn, Blackpool- Loan
Mellish, Carlisle- Undisclosed fee
Darcy, Crawley- Undisclosed fee
And of course Dale, Oxford- Loan
If they can’t get into their respective teams what the fuck are they doing here?
Fuck the EFL
I remember Maurice Lindsay in that documentary about Wigan RL back in 1992 basically saying if you invest in the team the crowds go up as do
revenues.
He wasn’t that popular this side of town as we all know but he certainly knew how to build a team and he wasnt afraid to invest strongly in his team.
I didn’t hear any words about significant team investment on that feed other than the policy we have now unless I missed something.
League 1 is stronger now than its ever been and maybe even stronger next season so just cannot see top 6 without that investment in playing staff.Not forgetting the signings……
Norburn, Blackpool- Loan
Mellish, Carlisle- Undisclosed fee
Darcy, Crawley- Undisclosed fee
And of course Dale, Oxford- Loan

Norburn hes a liability, he offers nothing more than a good few yellows & reds.
Mellish I actually have to give the guy some credit, what he lacks in ability he makes up for in effort.
At least he has had a go at trying to get forward making runs with the ball at feet something alot of our players are sh*t scared of doing bar J.Smith. They don’t always come off but at least the guy has a go so credit were it’s due.
Darcy ? the Jury’s out for now on this guy but so far he seems like he has limited ability, tries hard but that’s it. Footballs all about levels and I hope he improves.
I can only imagine that when certain players come back and we up the squad he’ll be thrown out on loan as per usual.Dale ? Can’t tackle, lives in fear of the bogey man i.e. scary defenders, offers nothing and personally he should be sub till the season ends and then sent back. If we sign him then it’s because he’s cheap or free on low wages.
We’ve been unlucky on the injury front especially with Chambers and M.Smith plus others but we’re no different from dozens of other sides.
Anyway, the new managers in and he has a few weeks to assess the squad and weigh up what he’s got to work with then it’s up to him to grab a couple of wins to get us over the line and see the season out.
After that it’s anyone’s guess as to the direction the owner wants us to go in.
Either,
Invest and back the manager
Or
Hope the manager can bring in cheap n loans better than Maloney did
