John Marquis has been released by Bristol Rovers.
He must be one of the best loan signing we ever made, his ability on the ball and vision during his loan spell with us has never been forgotten by myself and those who witnessed him playing for us.
I always hoped one day he might return back to us for another stint !!
Bring in either Paul MacCallum or Michael Cheek to partner him and also AFC Fylde midfielder Nick Haughton....surely to good be plying his trade outside the EFL for so many seasons.
Chris Con-Clarke from Altrincham midfielder worth a closer look.
Just need Brad to get rid of Hess, Jackett and Scally...we can't have their toxicity surrounding our club moving forward..
The midfield needs freshen...keep Dieng..never been keen on Ethan Coleman who is far to defensive and part of the Jackett and Hess influence.

Years ago maybe. 15 goals in 70 odd games in his last 2 seasons suggests he’s way over the hill

Barking up the wrong tree with this one now Swans, there was a time but not now in either league 1 or 2. He's slower, older and his scoring boots such as they were have left him. Having said that I wouldnt put it past our club to take him just because it ll be on the cheap and we ll end up with someone as pointless as Walker.

Oh good grief this get rid of Jackett, Hessy and Scaly gets really old after a while, have you got it on some sort of speed dial, where you push a button and it prints on this site to start all your posts. THERE NOT GOING ANYWHERE,how hard is that for you to figure out . Here is a thought, bringing in an EXPERIENCED manager that might cost us a chunk of change, but who will tell the three of them what HE NEEDS , so go and F'ing get them. BG will back that manager if he is a proven winner in the past.
I guess if we go up as champions next season they in your mind will still be bums,maybe you should apply to GFC for Hessy of Jacketts job, give them a call , the number is 01634*300000, ask for Brad and tell him what needs to be done at GFC. Send him your resume, I forget which clubs you once manager , but tell Brad you did a much better job there than the three have at GFC .

I don’t understand the obsession on this board for an experienced manager who has ‘done it before’. Surely the right person for the job with the right vision is more important. If I need to prove the point just look at Kieran McKenna, who has just got Ipswich promoted from L1 to the Premiership in 2 seasons. He had no managerial experience and had never ‘done it before’, but Ipswich saw something in him, and look at them now.
These guys are out there, just needing someone to trust them. We tried it with SC and it didn’t work out, so maybe we need to look at who selected him as the problem. Trouble is, they’re going nowhere, but I don’t accept that someone who has ‘done it before’ is the right way to go. Someone with ambition and drive is more important to me.
I’ll leave it to ‘the Brains Trust’ to shoot me down now.

Pretty simple. If there are people out there who have done it before, so we know they have it in them, why take a risk on someone who doesn’t?

As we've just found out, there aren't many McKennas about!

Who has done it all before and just taken Forest Green out of the league. Ipswich took a risk, and they’re playing Man City and Arsenal next year. 25 managers in 25 years isn’t working. Why not take a risk, just think how rewarding it would be to be successful with a young ambitious coach with new ideas learnt at a bigger club who wants to succeed on his own. Wouldn’t that be more exciting than an Evans, Ainsworth, Rowett etc? He would need the backing of you know who, of course, which may be the underlying problem! just my opinion, of course, but I’d be enthused by it - who dares wins etc…… |

As we've just found out, there aren't many McKennas about! McKenna was allowed to choose his own players and got the backing of the board, after initial reluctance. I’m not saying that SC was the right man, but he never stood a chance with the players he inherited, and the gang of three seemingly looking for any reason to get rid of him. I’d love to be privy to the back room conversations, but never will be of course. There is much we don’t know, just as there was with the sacking of NH. |

The average time for a manager in Europe to last is 423 days so we shouldn’t be surprised about the changes, especially at a previously struggling club with no money.
The idea that Clemence didn’t stand a chance with the squad is for the birds. This is one of the most experienced, proven squads we’ve ever had, full of players who have had success. He was also allowed to bring in the best assist machine in league two (who he managed to turn into someone who managed a single assist) and his own forward line.

Hess, I'm not sure at what stage this squad could be described as' proven'. You may argue that individual players have decent track records but the very nature of our recruitment has been generally to hoover up the unwanted, the out-of-contract, the untried or the over -the - hill.
What that left SC with was a random bunch with no goalscoring power, little pace and even less creativity. You don't end up as the lowest scorers in the league ( or second lowest) if your squad has any kind of potential in it. I lay the blame firmly on an overstuffed recruitment team for whom price was more important than value.

We've done anything other than recruit cheaply. We have one of the largest wage budgets in the league and were able to blow other teams out of the window to sign players - Johnny Williams would be one example, George Lapse another, where Clough admitted that they couldn't compete with what we were offering, even though they didn't want him to leave.
The players certainly aren't "over the hill", they're mainly late 20s - right in their primes, with the odd unproven kid, like Ogie, Coleman.
We haven't only signed out of contract either, unlike under Scally. We paid money for a number of players in the squad, both younger and older players. Most recently, we were reported to have paid a large fee for Hutton.
A narrative has sprung up around the squad built, because the manager wildly underperformed with them. It's simply untrue
