Until we see who is left standing after the contracts offered to existing players are accepted/declined its hard to work out what we need of each.

"@The Million Pound Man" - Setting expectations low so we can be pleasantly surprised. But that horse has bolted - the majority of fans think we should be putting a team together for promotion. Me included.
Though the sensible nagging bit of me realises we have £5M total debt hanging over us (not sure when 4M of that is payable mind).

I read that and thought the opposite! that's he's setting expectations lower
but then I read this and left feeling happy

Signing a couple of experienced players to help you win promotion while sticking to the model elsewhere makes sense to me and it worries me that it doesn't to Sandro.

Indeed, you don't win fuck all with kids, but they do make a large impact with the right experienced players around them.

It is all very well having a young squad but you do need some experience to help them
Of we are not going to do this then this is a real concern.
Starting to have some doubts on this regime - Austin, the Karachi thing , complete cock up on managerial appointment this doesn’t sit well

Baudry Gladwin Reed Ward Ellis Iandolo McKirdy all over 25 so that's 6 at a good age. We have also offered deals to Hunt and Payne. Not sure we are planning on filling the team full of kids

Was going to say - we already have some experienced players. Maybe not all in the vital places (imo) and we definitely need someone in the Grant 19/20 mould. Don’t think that player even needs to be old - just able to play the game management midfield spoiler. Our midfield is too nice Again, think we need a big lump centre back for when teams go direct at us. Again, that could be JOB again despite his age.

Also too add, a big target man striker for when we go direct. Doesn’t have to old per say but needs to fit a specific mould
