I would also have attended with prior knowledge. Why is the loan issue being dismissed?Would've defo gone to this if i'd known about it!!

Onye Igwe promised loans,
Such as "WHERE ARE THE PREMIER LOAN PLAYERS THAT WERE PROMISED?"
We have to pay Eastwood until his contract is up, he hasn't asked for a transfer, so Thorn's statement about using his so called freed up wages for someone else doesn't run true to me.I don't think Freddy will leave until the end of the season!!!!
Just got back from a meet the manager event with Andy Thorn at the Casino.
Good effort from the club to put it on, and Thorn was on form cracking the funny's.
With regard to the club/team/etc. there wasn't much we don't already know. I'll try and summerise:
We're playing good football
I wish we could hang on, its psychological and we're working on it, not just the kids - senior players need to take responsibility as well
All young players have agreed deals - not yet signed
Bigi could be anything he wants to be - he's phenominal
Freddy has no place at the club, earns alot of money and gives nothing so he has to go
Loans haven't happened and he isn't gonna moan about it or use it as an excuse, if freddy goes it might free up some wages
The most worrying thing was probably his reaction to a question about contracts, and specifically Clingan. He said he's confident the rest will sign (cranie, Shef) and that he'd love sammy to sign cause he's crucial to the team but its up to sammy whether he wants to - really sounded like he weren't confident.
But as i say, nothing we didn't really know. The usual mix of 90% crap questions with the odd couple of decent ones.
If i remember anything else i'll post it.
We are where we are Valint ~ it's no use kicking the donkey because it won't give milk - you've just got to get a cow. In this case the cow might be the crop of young players we've got coming through ~
to be honest I think that's our only hope.
Onye Igwe clearly states in an open letter to the ever decreasing fanbase, that 'Premiership players would be acquired on loan deals.I thought they said they would be trying for loans, did they mention PL?

Agreed. Whilst I'm not exactly a fan of Bell, Baker is good enough for us when he has a bit of confidence and McPake's a great player - though ofc. extremely injury prone. The money side, I would rather they had some value than none at all and if a lower league club comes in, it's a few extra quid for us...I truly cannot believe the amount of criticism that's been handed out about tying Bell, Baker and McPake down to new, longer contracts. If we get any money for them in the long run then surely that will have been worth it - but people are looking short term, again. I also have no beef with any of those players (Oh my GOD, the SHOCK!). Also, it now looks like all the kids AND Cranie are going to sign, which is excellent news. If Clingan doesn't sign then that's up to him but at least we know all these players have been offered contracts and the club aren't just waiting till the end of the season again.
Tying players simply to contracts increases the asset base (on paper) of the club which in turn gives SISU a stronger hand when they look to borrow more money. The extensions of these contracts are not footballing decisions but an attempt to add to the clubs fixed assets.
