Newell and or is agent appears to have used us to get a better offer from Rotherham and then from Hibs who he saw as a new challenge. Not signing him is not the problem. We have at the moment 10 players that GM thought were good enough for his first team squad. There is Andrew to resign that gives 11. So we do need to replace the five/six players that’s gone as a minimum if we want to be equal or better than last year. We do have 10/11 players for the U23 side but none of them can walk into a first team squad aiming for top 2 or minimum playoff finalists.
Anyone thought he might just have wanted to sign for Hibs? Big club, big city?I like Donny, but South Yorkshire or Edinburgh?

Marosi was in the team because Lawlor was injured, Rowe started a handful of games, Butler will be a loss as he was in my opinion outstanding. Kane and Wilks granted they had talent but only blossomed under the tutelage of GM and the coaching staff, so I’m sure they can do the same again I don’t see any reason to panic

I’ve heard from someone involved at the club that McCan had Newell earmarked as a key signing and is very disappointed he’s signed elsewhere. Their is also firm interest in a couple of our players from championship clubs.
Oh dear oh dear every summer the same. The doom merchants are out. Panic. Panic. Panic.Do some of you think that by 3rd August we won’t have brought in anther 5 players minimum + Danny Andrew.Last season DF left us without notice at the end of May & McCann didn’t take over until July. We are so much in a better place than this time last year and if my memory serves me correctly GM signed and loaned some pretty decent players with little time to spare & we had a pretty good season didn’t we.Or did I dream it?This, “we haven’t signed anybody” nonsense is looking extremely stupid imo and is getting very boring.

The departure of Ferguson was announced on 4 June and the appointment of McCann announced on 27 June.
Let me start by saying I've every confidence in GM and the board to get it right this season; but we're being put through the wringer again in terms of time.Pre-season training will probably start 3 weeks today. We've lost 6 of the starters in the Charlton game, and Andrew is yet to sign. We've made one signing, a league 2 player, and have lost out on a potential marquee signing.So let's cut a bit of slack to those of a slightly nervous disposition.

Who says? Rotherham fans were not extatic about him last season.Not consistent by all accounts.We don’t need him. We will get someone else won’t we. What’s the problem. Don’t see one.

That would only give us 17 senior players which isn’t even enough to fill a bench. And that’s before the usual injuries and suspensions. I know Mccan has said he wants a smaller squad but you would think we would be looking at a 20/21 man squad minimum before using youth team players to make the numbers up. That means another 9/10 signings... very busy summer ahead

Don’t see one.You've not been careful with your words there Campsall, because in slagging off Newell's potential, you're casting doubts about GM's judgement in wanting him in the first place, and he definitely did, because he's been quoted today as being "very disappointed".
