Cov need to buy players in the summer rather than just loan them as they are not permanent and they don't want players coming in and out every season. Where are players now that they let go, Leon Best? Danny Fox? Scott Dann? Why not scout all the players that Premier League teams release? I think if they sign 4/5 players in the summer they have a chance of promotion.

Are you a bear and been in hibernation for the last 7 years!!!! When has the club made any progression with the squad,, next year you will see Phillips, Willis, Haynes, Dev Kelley Evans, Lawton, Spense, Harries and G Thomas in a starting 11 unless we have a change of ownership.... Buy fuck me i nearly fell of my chair....

I have been watching them for about 10 years (as I'm 19), I just have faith in them that they'll have a better season next season.

Fair play for the optimism but you sir need to wake up! I think we need to focus on staying in league one before can even begin to think about 15/16

It's a masterplan to be sure!! I think Timmy and Steve ought to be made aware of this proposal. then they will see where they have been going wrong. Maybe also get a manager who can take us back to the Prem. If only someone had thought of this sooner........

I was 19 when we won the FA cup. And I have not seen much since then to give me faith in anything good. We are due a top 6 finish. But we have been due one since before we won the cup.

Strangely enough once we are safe and TM signs a contract I will be confident of promotion. Don't worry I will call the funny farm myself.

Scott Dann is playing regularly in the Premier league at Crystal Palace, I think Best and Fox are still with Championship clubs

BBC says 'outside the UK'
All things being equal things will continue as they have been. Highest earners will all go. Academy 'starlets' will be sold. All to be replaced with cheaper, weaker players or short-term loanees. No investment as club must be self-supporting. Don't know if TM will stay or go. It's more likely he will stay if we stay up, less likely if we go down. But I think it was his choice to have the short contract not SISUs.

I like the plan. Once we have bought a good team we should instruct them to run fast and score lots of goals. But don't concede any.


If TM does indeed leave I'm voting for you as next manager. You're totally tuned in.

I know approved social workers who would section you under the mental health act and find a nice comfy bed for you at the Caludon Suite. I think that we need more than 4 or 5 players. we have no quality in our team or strength in depth.

I just can't see the nucleus of a good team, I think we need too many players to be automatic promotion candidates. Unless we get back Ward, Pennington and Samuels either on deals or season long loans.

we need at least six quality acquisitions: GK, LB, RB, CD, DM, FW and that is a minimum. That's a lot to find in the summer and if we stay up. I think SISU is more likely to cut the budget rather than extend it.

Our best chance would be via play offs.....however we have a big job to do at Crawley first.

We would only have to strengthen four positions. GK, defence, midfield and forwards.
