So more staff, but in different areas?
Hopefully a few customer facing ones.
Yep, and most probably yes.. |

Not the Top 20 predicting us to finish 16th. Below Sutton, and below Barrow. Fairly sobering.

As I said elsewhere there is absolutely zero chance of us finishing in the bottom half. That would be the worst finish in our history

Also let's not forget where we predicted last season.

Bet the Oxford supporting presenter had them down for promotion though! |

Twice we have finished in the bottom half, 13th in 2018/19 under Brown and our worst finish ever was 17th in 1983/84 under Beamish and we had crowds of under 2k then too. |

George Elek is usually very positive about us, despite his Oxford allegiance. Was a big Garner fan. The prediction was based on the departures of known quality being replaced in the main with wildcards. The wildcards could of course pay off.

Wildcards, I like that term better than cheap punts. Going to steal it

Yeah, we've signed a load of PL2 players who they couldn't possibly know how they'll get on, yet Crawley signing 18 year old Balagizi on loan from Liverpool is a positive. |

Creepy are covering his entire £5k per week wage I hear. Not sure if there is a FFP wage cap in L2 this season but they doubled Telfords Newport wage and apparently gave Conroy a huge increase on his Swindon wage too. |

D3D4 have us in the play offs, so where we'll finish seems to be a case of close your eyes and throw a dart at the table. |

I am starting to think the Town has been taken over by a Russian Oligarch. First we have had “Glasnost “ giving the fans “maximum openness and transparency” and now “Perestroika” where we seem to have a “reconstruction of our economic system”. The appointment of our management team and indeed our new players all seem like cheap options to me. Yes I know we still have debts to pay and we owe Clem big time but I really don’t see the money we do have being spent with a view of going for promotion. I’m old school so playing fatigued players and following the stats models ain’t my thing I’m afraid. I hope I am wrong but I am starting to doubt our owners intentions.

I totally understand why people would have concerns and end of the day we all want what is best for the club. I hope Clem sees out his plan for us and sees through the redevelopment etc and doesn't think it's not worth the hassle as we will be back to square one before we know it
