Crofts turned us down apparently.

Where you heard this?

[molepar]

Beacause he is.. 

Yes but where has this come from? Everyone says it but what is it based upon? I’m not disputing it by the way, just wondering about the origin!

A couple of sources. I can't tell you them, otherwise I'd have to kill you.

general football circles i guess. he has done coaching at some high level clubs and continuously gets employment. Westham, brighton, bristol city, Franchise and swansea so must be doing something right

Worries me who we'll end up with then.

[aroundthefur]

Anyone know how many candidates have been interviewed so far?

One thing for certain it won’t be an expensive recruitment.

Realised we ain’t got a pot to piss in 😂

You keep saying this, are you connected to the club to know this?

Let’s be honest here, the only people who know the budget, what we have are Clem, rob & the new chap. All the rest is just speculation & hearsay.

You say this...but who in the basement division honestly recruits managers expensively...only ones I can think of is Mark Hughes and potentially Challinor at Stockport in order to tempt down a division. Other than that, teams down here don't necessarily recruit expensively. You can smartly recruit a good calibre of manager/head coach without having to splash the cash - Rob Edwards, Michael Duff and Matt Taylor exemplifying this over the past few seasons.

To be fair there is very little money being splashed out in League Two.
Best to see the intent rather than listen to comments on increasing or reducing budgets.
I remain sceptical.
Equally there will be plenty of players available thus hoping we get a Decent management team that can attract a few gems. We will be relying heavily on the loan system which is totally understandable.

in uncertain times waiting for news, you are repetitively depressing with comments of reduced contracts, cheap players, cheap managers. did the new technical director fit your rhetoric?

True - and no guarantee splashing the cash on a decent manager will guarantee success.
Signing quality loan players at this level is a major advantage.
No problem giving Managers their first crack at management and would have liked someone of the Ryan Mason mould.
Looks like we will be waiting a few more days at least.

As above too early to comment and hopeful we will have a team assembled that can compete for a promotion spot. Our loan signings will be critical.
