Potentially a huge uphill battle next season.
As soon as this season ends there is going to be a mass exodus of players. Loan players, out of contract players and even youth players not signing pro deals.
I don't think I can remember a time recently when there was such an exit of players.
Mogga has a huge task of bringing in players who will belong to the club. Also will Mogga learn from the mistakes he has made as manager this season. Tactically? And probably not having the right players for Plan A and defiantly Plan B.
Will be an interesting pre-season.

kind of agree with that but at the back of my mind something is saying sisuWe're already building for next season though and signed players ahead of it. When was the last time we did that? Also considering what's already happened front of shop who knows how much hard work has already been done behind the scenes. We may have a decent number of signings already lined up but still in contract elsewhere meaning we won't know about it yet.
Personally I think we'll have one of our most productive pre-seasons in a long time. Not only are we building already we will also have a manager in place unlike going into last summers break, have a backroom sorted unlike last summers break, don't have to spend money and energy in other areas such as sorting out the faceless training ground and setting up a scouting network and unlike the previous season again we don't have the uncertainty of where are we going to be playing the next season. Something that was pointed out as a difficulty in attracting signings.
Should we be concerned about the summer? Yes of course, we're CCFC fans. That's our job. Do we also have cause to be cautiously optimistic? Absolutely yes. Especially when you compare to the uncertainties of the previous two summers. Not to mention the previous summer of administration.

If you are wrong,I think it will be more by luck than judgementNo different to the last 10 seasons we don't keep half of the squad bring in shed load of new players and keep our fingers crossed that a couple will perform.
No way to build a team for a promotion push feel more heartache ahead............
Doesn't matter who we have in charge of the team they will all have the same shackles attached to them.
Really Really hope I am wrong
How much have they given him this season?The club giving him something to play with is the bigger question, how much?
Knowing shitsu not a lot
The last exodus was getting rid of the thorn era
Be interesting to see what they use to 'Drive' season ticket sales this time around. We really need a positive end to the campaign or it will be difficult to persuade folk that it won't be just more of the same. Problem is, as in the past SISU won't hand over any substantial funds until the cash starts rolling in. It's going to be the chicken and egg situation again I fear. I would also suggest that out of the 'Faithful five thousand' we are losing quite a few of these to age and infirmity each year and are we able to recruit replacements from the younger generations ?

I'm quite optimistic going into the summer.
The foundations have been laid over the last 12 months the scouting network being the key one. We're further down the road now and that database will now be full of players who fit the system, the model that TM, JC and MV are trying to build the club from.
If the right recruitment of players is done we should be competitive.

It's all very well having a good recruiting network but if the money isn't there to fund the players, it does little good since we will be beaten to the punch by other clubs. Our good recruitment this season was done on the basis of our being a high-flying side with prospects of promotion courtesy of our early season form. I doubt whether Armstrong, Murphy, Kent and Cole would have come to us if we were languishing in the bottom half of the table. We do have the advantage of having TM as manager who seems to have good contacts and is held in high regard by other clubs. Although you have to question how long that goodwill will persist given our recent disastrous form. I'm thinking about next season pretty much the same as always, hopeful but not overly optimistic. I still think this season was the best chance of promotion we will have for a long time.
Last year Waggott said 11k is our wish for gate, but already Chris Anderson has increased that by over 25% without any explaination.
Don't know or care to be honest, I look around the Concorse and I see an ageing fan base.
I can't see anything at the moment that will attract that many new season ticket holders. Our gates average around the 11000 mark about half being season tickets, almost all you talk too are puzzled almost bitter about our slump and can't understand the seemingly lack of being able to remedy things from the manager.
