Quote from: DonnyBazR0ver on January 28, 2017, 08:57:58 pmThe squad as it is including the loanees is good to go for League One. As said, firming up the young lads on permanent deals will be a priority for DF. At the rate we're going that task will be much easier. With McCullough to come back, ATS, Lund and maybe McSheffrey, DF will have to add the odd quality player and perhaps allow 3 or 4 to leave. No room for sentiment. DBR - i'm in your camp brother.Ready made for league one as it stands right nowIts the combination of leaders everywhere + talent + graft from everyone + top leadership

Have to agree Bob. The noises the board have been making for the last few years are now bearing fruit and being seen to be put into action. That, and a business strategy being carried out by the CEO which bolsters the playing budget.

Fergie I think was mightily relieved to still have a job after the end of last season. I'm sure he appreciates the patience and faith that the board have shown. I think that he will want to repay that and also build a future here.I think that he has learnt a lot since leaving Preston and coming here.DBR - i'm in your camp brother.Ready made for league one as it stands right nowIts the combination of leaders everywhere + talent + graft from everyone + top leadershipI'm with you all too . Now and only now has DF cone into his own , he is building a team with the same attitudes and qualities of the one's he managed at the Posh. Interesting and exciting teams hopefully without the defensive frailties they had at times. Hardest job will be keeping Darren Ferguson much beyond next season. The players WANT to play for him.

Lads, lads calm down. Some ridiculous comments on here. We'll need a lot more to go up next season. The top end of league 1 is poles apart from the rubbish we are playing every week now

Out of interest S_M, is there any club in the 92 that is completely self-sufficient and if the owner left could keep running as they currently are?
