Out of interest, can you tell us all what you would consider to be a sign of intent?
With regards to club fan interaction..... this was my wish list at the end of the season
Sort of thing required... get recruitment done early. Get a structured set of friendlies in place asap. If there is to be a bonding trip like Brown had, early recruitment means you have the players to bond, not like last year's brush up Phil's tan mission.
Have an open day at the CG in the school hols... doesn't have to be all singing/dancing Fitton style... more a meet and greet new players, maybe an open training session get the kids/mums etc having selfies taken etc. Mix this up with the Trust revealing plans for the CG purchase , and trying to sell some shares... emphasising the joint venture and reassuring fans that we're in this together.
Hold a Q and A forum at the CG, one evening.... ideally Wellens and Power, but I wouldn't expect Power.... maybe Anderson would do, or Morfuni.
As regards the squad, Wellens has mostly done his business early and provided a reasonable explanation of why he hasn't so far got a striker over the line. He's also said he's going to use Kaiyne through the middle, as well as Yates being his prime target.
Intent, with what's left to come in would be holding midfielder, assuming Toumani, ian't coming back into the picture, some sort of cover for Rose, as I think his fitness record is just to suspect to rely on for a season. Then if we can land Theo, another body up front, to provide competition, rotate and come off the bench... chuck Bennett into that, and it would certainly look a whole heap better than a year ago.
