Be dale - are you serious?The Board's stated aim this season is top 6, not bottom 6! We are nowhere near a strong enough squad to challenge the upper reaches of this division......yet. It is to be hoped that there are a couple of rabbits yet to be pulled out of the proverbial hat.

So why are people arguing that Anderson is not a replacement for Baudry?
I was and still am fairly useless when it comes to maths but humour me on thus oneWe start a season with 3 recognised centre backs2 are injured so we bring in 2 on loan When all are fit we have 3 + 2 on loanAt the end of the season 2 on loan return to their clubs leaving us with the original 31 departs the club leaving 2 but we then sign permanently a 3rd so we have now replaced the 1 who leftBaudry leaves Anderson is signed as a replacement, where have I gone wrong
Of course we need to think about replacing the loan players given their significant contribution to our first choice team. It would be utterly stupid not to think about that unless we want to accept our squad will be weaker rather than stronger. Oh, hang on, isn’t that the very point of this whole debate...

If McCann did say it, why hasn't it been quoted alongside all the other stuff he's been quoted as saying? That articles stinks of fishJust the DFP with their usual click bait headline.

Unfortunately the decline of the newspapers makes fake headlines more likely as they try to get income from clickbait.

Glyn I’m not bothered how one line in the article is interpreted. Come Aug 9th he will not hope have a squad to achieve the clubs goal of top six finish. It’s not about hope I was told it will happen.
I wonder if Liam Hoden ever thinks to himself. "Why do I bother?"

Quote from: Cantley Rover on July 13, 2018, 06:31:22 pmI wonder if Liam Hoden ever thinks to himself. "Why do I bother?" I wonder why he bothers writing a headline that isn't substantiated by what he then writes in the article underneath it. If it isn't deliberate clickbait, at best it's bloody awful journalism.

Are you suggesting Grant McCann didn't say these things to Hoden or are you insinuating Hoden is lying? I'm saying that Hoden has reported an interview, and quoted McCann heavily from it, then written a headline that the interview itself doesn't mention. It is that headline that is unsubstantiated - unless perhaps I've missed it and you can point me to where McCann says in the interview what his future transfer plans are?I'm not saying Hoden is lying. McCann may very well have said what Hoden says he did. It's just extremely odd for Hoden not to then include it in the reported interview...which is bloody awful journalism!
