Tomogull That's encouraging news if correct. As Merse says, having competent players on season-long contracts is penny-pinching to the extreme. Don't forget it works both ways. You don't have to think back very far to remember that the bunch of incompetents that Alan Knill saddled us with for 2 year...

Will Kevin Nicholson have two roles for a Club Captain and a Team Captain? Barrow succesfully employed this captaincy structure under Darren Edmondson's management. Ray No indication that Kev has plans to allow us more than one bog standard Captain. But dreaming up a title for various players (Luke...

Anyone but Gowling getting it would be a bit of a surprise at this stage; not that I think it matters too much anyway. There's probably two or three more players who could also fulfill the role more than adequately.

Merse In their manifesto, Labour promised to scrap university tuition fees in England but there was no mention of writing off unpaid student debt; I have a copy of their manifesto here with me.......you simply won't find what you claim in there! Labour were well aware that inebriated students, of al...

Just ignore it...I'm sure the Admins will soon put a stop to whoever has hacked Danny's account. If you bear in mind that it's only just over 2 months since Danny was confidently stating: 'The Prime Minister has brought the Conservatives back to their true, core beliefs and that is why I have confid...

Just get TUST to run a couple of minibuses first. And if the service is hugely popular THEN think about bigger things....such as a doubledecker in club colours.

It's desperately slow progress for some sections trying to leave from farther down Bristow's Bench. Half your passengers would still be trapped on the wrong side of the retractable tunnel when the bus was leaving

Diversity Isn't Our Strength

the onus is now on the manager to produce from the off and not present the owners with the sort of shambles he presided over at the starts of the last two seasons . It could even be in the first six to twelve games that Nicholson is held to account for his 'persuasive powers' if the season doesn't ...

Guys this has already been talked about in the Transfer Rumours thread stickied at the top of the forum. No harm should you or one or two others want to persevere with that, but I don't think it will have wide appeal. My guess is that over the Summer months Forum members will continue to indicate a...

If Nico's contacts mean we've got a better chance of bringing Gowling to us, then I'll be celebrating. While I acknowledge that many older Managers may have more people they can ring up and ask for an opinion, sharing a dressing room with, and playing alongside someone gives you a better and more th...

Just wondering how Nico is going to prepare the squad physically and mentally in pre season. Has he learnt anything from the previous two. Previous one surely ? Wasn't last Summer Kev's first attempt at organising a pre-season ? I'm sure he'll have learned lots of lessons regarding the preparation ...

Hector However, Alpine, in your obsession to discredit community ownership, you neglect to acknowlegde that these clubs have done well under community ownership. Torregull had just one-sidedly drawn attention to how well these clubs had done under Community ownership, but where was your demand that ...

If Exeter go up that'll be two community-owned clubs promoted from League 2 this,year with Portsmouth going-up as well Exeter have done really well. Personally I'd give a lot of the credit for that to Tisdale, and suggest that any club he was managing, whatever it's ownership model, would have a go...

I could perhaps live with them but for teams to have an equal chance, often favouring the team who happens to have hit a bit of form at the end, is not fair, when one may have finished 20+ points behind. Although I agree with this, in the end it is decided by football, out on the pitch and by one s...
