Knowing JR, he will not be settling for top ten. He wants promotion.

We have the basis of a very good squad. We just need a few quality signings.

Hymas was on here criticising DF and the inclusion of youth (although since JD has released the youth player Hymas felt should have been involved) and DF criticised the new RH training base, more specifically the pitches. That could very well be 2+2=5 but could just as easily equal 4.

For the record, I certainly want us to be promoted this season (don't we all?) but I won't throw the toys out the pram if we don't. I can't hold the opinion that DF should have had this season, now we are finally rid of Evans' deadwood, to then say JD has this season only where he can only bring in 3-5 of his own players. That would be very hypocritical of me.

JD's appointment though still appears to me to be a 50/50 split between giving a young coach a shot and a stop gap to avoid a scenario this summer like last summer. Established manager coming in and wanting a complete rebuild (basically to avoid another Anderson situation, and to a lesser extent a Mirfin, Diamond and Atkinson situation).

JR doesn't have to finance a rebuild to the squad. JD knows the players we have. JD knows the youth who could be brought in. This could be a bright season.


JR doesn't have to finance a rebuild to the squad

Does he confide in you, then?

I wouldn’t disagree BTW


No, why would he confide in me?

I just put 2 and 2 together and get many answers, not often is it 4 though. I like to speculate alot. This very thread is pure speculation.

Evans came in and got JR to spends his money on various/multiple signings. DF came in and wanted rid of a number of players Evans had signed. He needed someone to come in and work with what we've got (plus a few extras to replace those that left) and JD fits that bill. Plus he's most likely to know which of the young lads can do a job for the first team. Win-win all round.

Been at the club this afternoon for photos etc.
Signed from an established Premiership team if I'm right and not a position I expected to sign player for.


So, as we all have waited for the big announcement the only photos were all to do with the new kit; The Chief, Khan, Mel & Davies plus the two guys from Senior Salmon sponsorship.

I've got to hand it to you, a convincing opening thread which has generated an 8 page thread of complete waffle - I suppose it's better than the deafening silence :roll:

One thing is certain.

We are going to have to sign 4/5 players at some time, maybe today, tomorrow or next month who knows?

Could already have signed some and they could be on their holidays, great fun waiting.

Then even more fun when posters on Stagsnet rip into the new faces as not being good enough, we shall see?

I think the depth of ability for JD will be the type of player he can bring into the club. That will be the guide for the campaign to follow

There's 10 pages speculating about nothing in that other thread, and you do this!

We are like fish in a pond keep coming up to the surface for a scrap of food but nothing much being thrown currently so think will stay down in the mud a bit longer till we see that large bag being opened and liberally sprinkled on the top of the water.

Where do these rumours come from? Staff in the shop? Staff walking around the grounds? Other fans using the shop?

Pre-season starts next Wednesday for the team and not a single signing. Not a rumour. Not even tied up Mellis' contract officially yet. It's actually so poor.

He wants promotion, just not this year! :P


You may well be right, but if you want promotion this year you'd hardly give the squad to a rookie manager, would you?

James Hanson?

Had his contract terminated by Wimbledon, although he has been linked with Grimsby. Would prefer Cook who they're also linked with.

From his agents twitter page :

Just because there’s nothing been confirmed doesn’t mean there isn’t stuff going on behind the scenes. We don’t have a lot to do in my opinion so let’s wait and see before we start saying it’s poor

wow didn’t realise that :shock:

its certainly a different approach this pre season to signings, wonder if JD is back at his desk this week ?

the media accounts don’t seem to be linking us with anyone which is a bit weird, as we wouldn’t have any control of them & agents tend to use them for getting the best deals.
