I dont think we lost all our best players from last season.

Josh Magennis- Hugill’s done more for our cause in 3 games than he did in over 30.

Humphreys – was great at the beginning of the season then after being dropped for a discipline issue he spat his dummy out and wasn’t the same player

Charlie Wyke- again started well then went out of favour, hardly played.

Jordon Jones- I agree he was one of the positives from last season. He’s back of course for the time being.

Charlie Hughes -without doubt one of our best players but I like the look of Aimson and Carragher so will he be that badly missed.? Time will tell when the 3 centre halves get games under their belts.

Luke Chambers – another top performing player from last season, it was unbelievable when he came back.

Kelly Watts / Liam Morrison, I liked both of these players but Maloney apparently didn’t, overlooking them for long spells.

Tom Pearce – Another Nick Powell, the physios will miss him.

Liam Shaw – another I liked but was in and out more than our next door neighbours cat, also injury prone. Will the Fulham lad do a better job when he’s fit?

Martial Godo- thought he flattered to deceive. No doubt a top talent but the goals and assists columns don’t read that well.

We are missing an experienced midfield player but did we have one last season when we beat all but Barnsley in the top 6. ?

We still have the Chelsea winger and the Fulham midfielder when they get over their injuries so mapping it out like this, are we really in a far worse position, squad wise than last season.?
All the young lads have a season under their belts so should kick on this season.

An experienced tall awkward number 9 and a midfield general late 20’s with championship experience are a must, then its all down to SM to get them bloody playing!

The point is none of the money will go back in to the playing squad the money raised by the Hughes sale or any other player for that matter will go to pay Danson back on what he spent buying the club, paying off debts etc.

He’s already a billionaire £7.5m is pocket money to Danson however he wants the money back, so I couldn’t give a shit if the club gets £20m for Hughes, the playing side of the club/Maloney won’t see a penny of it, we will stick to loan players and freebies.

Bottom line…….Danson has no ambition for the club, the last thing he wants is promotion because then he will have to put his hands in to those deep pockets, he knows loan players, freebies and cast offs won’t get us promoted, think about it!

You are assuming buddy, there is no real proof / evidence behind what you are saying, its basically a hunch.
So cant agree with you, will wait to see the actual outcome rather than what you are doing, speculating.
The boy hasn’t even been sold yet.

Its not ideal having to compete with a low budget but all I want is a team that play decent football and not like we did for large parts of last season. If the team isn’t good enough then we will have to live with it. If I have to watch the dross that was on show last season, pass sideways and backwards for 80% of our possession we will lose die hards.
Losing 4-3 cos the opposition have better quality players isnt a problem at least our team had a bloody good go and its great to see the academy players in the team.

You could say it was pointless giving Jason Kerr a contract cos he’s been plagued with injuries for the past 18 months. It was fantastic that he has signed a 2 year deal.
The lad from Liverpool is also a great signing and will get a full pre- season with us to prove he is over his injuries, as will the Brentford lad.

Every fan has a right to say what they feel without having someone being angry abd abusive towards them.
That post was abusive and un-called for Runcorn.
Why not try and understand what has caused them to feel that way?, I can see it although I choose to look forward to see what happens in the next few months.
If anyone had said to me you will go to the ground on match day have a drink then walk the 2 and 1/2 miles home before kick off, just cos of the team selection, I would have laughed at them, but I did it.
Lets just hope that Danson becomes more visible and Maloney changes his tactics and stops the constant team changes.
I would sooner finish in the bottom half going out to win every game than top half playing like we did for most of last season.
I also hope the owner shows us that he at least “likes” our club and is not just a business man hoping to make a few bob every year, whilst our club treads water in league one and two, with no commitment to doing anything else. Time will tell.
There is no doubt however that crowds will be down next season, thats the general vibe Im getting after talking to people, some stalwarts and reading stuff on social media. So be it, there is only the owner along with the manager, his staff and players can change things, by getting it right on the pitch. I don’t mean winning every game, I mean being competitive in every game and providing at least a bit of entertainment in doing so.
