To have had the run we have had and still not be in the bottom 4 says a lot about the other teams.

But the positive is that he bounced the Monkey Hangers back at the first attempt, and they finished above us. Given our defensive incompetence at home, I'd imagine many sound judges would think we'll go down...of course Wilson sides aren't noted for their defensive rigour.
He did Reg, but like us they were way too good for that Division. I'm sure we'd have finished Champions without that fucking about changing managers half way through the season, (thank you Santa Bates you fucker!).

With due respect, there's always a good few clubs who feel they're way too good for that division..look at the scum. If you're in it, it's likely you've been poorly managed both on and off the pitch..and it's no given you get out first time. A decision needs to be made, maybe it has, as to whether Wilson will be seen responsible if we go down. Today we're told players out before anyone in....MM tried to move out "fringe" players, but because they're shite no-one wants them. Nalis, I could see accepting some sort of pay-out and retiring...but it's difficult to see beyond that, who might be shipped out without cost. My fear is that DW wont be able to turn our shower around and the fans will soon turn, leading us into the cycle of instability again.

I guess Marshall, Amankwha and Casal could be loaned out to lower league clubs while we get our own loaners in.
Hard to see it though, I agree with Reg.

I suppose the abilty to engineer these sort of moves is the mark of a good manager.

We couldn't get rid of Paul Sturrock to a bottom of league 2 side-what chance of getting rid of any of the others?

Assuming then that movements out and in are minimal, due to the policy of not going over budget..should we expect Wilson to be able to improve the sack of shit we currently have?

unfortunately some of our players are beyond improvement(Peacock and Aljofree spring to mind)but a good manager should be able to get more from the likes of McGovern,Easton and above all McNamee in my opinion.

Surely they've had to amend the policy slightly in view of the situation we find ourselves in and a new manager in place. Id hope so anyway.
Dont fancy our chances of getting rid of Sturrock and Casal. Pook and Nalis probably will be able to find somewhere to go in the next league down, Pook due to a good run in the first team where some said he played well and Nalis due to reputation and possibly as a coach?
Im making all this shit up. No insider knowledge whatsover.

Can't see the policy changing. Our owners are from Private Equity style backgrounds, so no doubt a lot of their personal fortunes have been cut in half since they purchased us. Given the overall economic climate, the complete lack of lending facilities especially to those who can show a previous record of defaulting on payments, I can see us tightening up more than releasing the strings. It may seem obvious to spend a little, but I don't want the next 20-30 years being put at risk to save one season.

I suspect that there will be a little lee-way, but what we will probaby do is to get in a few decent loans with a view to making them permanent in the summer if they prove themselves.
We have quite a few out of contract in the summer if I remember correctly so the squad will probably have an overhaul then with Wilson keeping those that he feels can either improve or those that can do a decent job at this level.
I suspect though that we will see a couple out on loans as Wilson is bound to have contacts being able to get players fixed up that he does not see playing here but can play elsewhere perhaps lower down the leagues, we may even see 1 or 2 offered the chance to cancel their contract so they can get fixed up elsewhere before everyone else in the summer.
As long as he get's in a vastly experienced centre half and decent ball player for the midfield that should give us the lift that is required, and then he just has to get another wide player to give our existing wide players competition for their place.

Maybe we should get that black guy who played at the back for Orient.......utter shite and made our fullbacks look calm and confident. If he came in everyone would feel better than they are and morale would be improved.... Still think we need a Kamara type player in the middle to boss the game....
