I'd be surprised if that's true, as he would be a loannee. Why integrate a loannee into the youth team rather than the first team? We don't have a stake in his future, after all. Our budget would have better uses, surely. I notice the CT have written up a story which is essentially a re-hash of...

I cannot see us signing Agyei AND McBean, as we're not going to have more than 4 strikers on the books (we already have 3 - Tuddy, Sordell and Kwame). I know we didn't know AA last season and he went on to be great, but this season the strikeforce does not inspire confidence. We've not looked...

What about the young lad, forget his name, who was on trial from somewhere non-league (had also been on trail at Shrewsbury) ? Getting both him, the Finn and Turnbull would be a good result.

Give it a couple of weeks and we'll back to 4-at-the-back, so many times you see times starting out with three at the back, it never lasts. Even so, we wouldn't have enough players to fill a squad with 22 senior pros, excluding the likes of Stevenson, DKEs, Harries, Spence, Finch, G Thomas etc...

I highly doubt that we'd loan a player like McBean to play in the youth team. Smith would probably be thrown straight in, too because our only RB is Ricketts who may well be needed as a CB. As for Tuddy, I agree he's going to be used more as Fergie used to throw in Sheringham at times, or...

So with McBean added, we have 4 strikers plus George Thomas. The DKEs, Finches, Spences, Harries and Stevensons of this world are filling in at the moment, TM will want a squad of 22 senior players and throw those boys in on top, as you have to factor in a full squad after injuries and...

I doubt we'll have more than 4 strikers in the squad, so with McBean that would be 3 by my count (Tudgay and Sordell, excluding G Thomas who TM obviously regards as a kid not ready to be counted as an option as a regular senior starter). Are you counting Kwame Thomas? I'd thought he was going to...

I reckon that the "1 new signing" will be McBean. In our minds, most of us are counting him as a squad member anyway so that would be a bit of a let-down at this point!

Regardless, it was ridiculous that they gave him money then sacked him after 3 draws. Either give him longer or don't give him the chance in the first place.

He wasn't on the board at the time. It was Tim who was running the show then, around the time of Igwe's last few months and the start of Labovitch being involved.

This is literally the first time I haev ever seen this claim made. Which senior players? Please link to the Waggott interview where this was mentioned (remember, SW was not at CCFC when AT was fired). The point is that SISU have form in giving a manager resources, a pre-season run, allow him to...

According to who, other than your imaginary friend?

We shouldn't really infer anything from results until we're ten or so games in. The table before then is a bit meaningless. Even then, it's a long season and every year there are those who have "a season of two halves" (as we did last time) or go on unexpected runs of wins/defeats that radically...

It's a bit much tbh - I'd be happy with paying £18-£21 (including booking fees) but more than that seems a bit silly at this level.

Me too, hence my comments which betray my concern that SISU will make the stupid mistake of sacking him for a slow start, as they did with Thorn.

I didn't say that. I was critiquing our owners, not our manager. And I was comparing that sacking of Thorn, not Pressley, with the start of this season under Mowbray Keep up!

No, it's a statement. Thorn's final game was a home draw against Bury, too. That evening he was seen clearing out his office in black bin liners into his car.

Ehhh? Nobody on this forum would have taken 2 points from 3 league games against Swindon A, Shrewsbury H, Bury H.

Sisu sacked Thorn after three league draws and a JPT win at the start of the 2012 2013 season so if they're being consistent then TM should be fearing for his job.

Last season I was roundly mocked on here for showing that without AA's goals, we'd be in a relegation dogfight. But I was right and now he's gone the early signs are not good as we look like reverting to the SP era.
