    Realistic good signings.

    I think most of those were lined up before the season ended because they knew they were going down. Don't really expect them to challenge this season, too much going on off the pitch.

    As long as TM is deciding who we attempt to sign i don't care who actually does the donkey work...........

    Bury splashing the cash

    Never mind Bury, it's Scunthorpe that are really making moves in the transfer marking. Not content with taking Scott Wiseman and Jack King from Preston they have now signed Scott Laird as well. Decent defender who had been offered new terms by Preston. They also signed Dawson from Rochdale...

    Ah Stalyvegas :) im not far from there, but i live on the Derbyshire side of the border now, having moved from Manchester about 5 years ago. Been to a couple of Staly Celtic games, not a bad day out.

    Mowbray admits he will have to rely on loans

    Well thats kind of my point. In an ideal world we wouldn't need loans and could afford to sign a full squad of permanent players but thats not realistic at the moment. So if we must rely on loans then its surely better to have 5 good quality players in right from the start on season long deals...

    Fixtures out soon

    Mowbray admits he will have to rely on loans

    It's the timing of bringing in loans as well. Under Pressley it seemed we had a never ending stream of loans coming in and leaving just as quick. I think if TM can get say 5 loan players in on season long deals (or at least until January) then they can at least feel as though they are part of...

    Bury splashing the cash

    I am spoiled for choice these days. The local amateur side play on a field literally at the end of my road so i nip down there most Sundays. Glossop North End are my nearest "proper" team and they have had an incredible season winning promotion and the NW counties cup, plus reaching the FA Vase...

    Bury splashing the cash

    My best mate is a Dale fan so when i moved up here I just went to games with him. Dragged him to quite a few Cov games as well mind

    Bury splashing the cash

    True. Although i wouldn't be surprised if a number of supposed FC fans who live round that way cant be bothered trekking to the new ground and just go to Bury games instead.

    Bury splashing the cash

    They essentially got given their ground for nowt when the council bailed them out last time they were on the brink. Their new chairman has bunged a fair few quid of his own cash in and they got a sizable (by league 2 standards) sponsorship deal from JD Sports. They have also benefited from FC...

    Lack Of Transfer Activity

    I remember being quite pleased when we signed Pugh, Reda, Jackson and Tudgay. I really thought players like that would see us kick on and challenge at the right end of the league. Didn't quite work out did it!

    Leon Clarke Joins Bury

    It's the JD Sports sponsorship deal that has lined Burys pockets.

    New signings soon

    David Perkins signed for Wigan after Blackpool let him go. Missed a trick there, really decent midfielder for league one. David Cornell available following release by Swansea, half decent keeper though i imagine he can get a champ club.

    Carlton Cole anyone?

    ^This Word this morning is that he has already signed for QPR anyway..............

    New signings soon

    Reasonable defensive centre mid, looked good at Boro at times but did suffer with injuries. He is the wrong side of 30 mind.
