On the point of not resigning players Its possible those out of contract think they could get a better deal elsewhere. If they cant we could resign them on a better deal for us

The only ones that I’d consider re-signing Grud, would be Verlinden and Bridcutt on loan or possibly Emmanuel, who is young enough to develop but certainly can fulfil a wing back role down the right. He could also fit into the right side of a back three although I didn’t think his heading was particularly good and my biggest question mark is over his concentration and awareness, which was lacking badly at times. None of the others do I want to see back for various reasons.

Doesn’t look like IE agrees with you Grud, word is he’s got someone else in mind instead.

Couple of new signings in the last few days. Really is taking shape now. 10 players in. Lots of options now.
Definitely need another two strikers i think. Or a genuine left sided forward who can play in a 3 not a Parky stick the short lad out wide.
Anyone know when these 6 warm up games are?

Most of the options seem to be around midfield and defence OM but I do agree with you that we need a bit more up front to cater for injuries or suspensions at least. Faal is obviously a striker but what are we classing Darcy as? I’d love us to get Alf back if it’s true he’s returning to England but he may not fit IEs statistics? Either way the squad is building nicely and if management can build them into a team then we should be looking good. I had a look at the video on this latest Centre Half and was super impressed, a big, quick, strong, left footed defender who isn’t afraid to get forward to start moves. Can’t wait to see them altogether.

Not sure whether he would fit into IE's plans, but Christian Doidge is still knocking them in for Hibs. Shame the bar steward didn't pay Forest Green.
Proven at Lge 2 level and I'm sure he would have been satisfied being here.

I agree wots, he looked a good player from my perspective and I’m sure would have done better had we had a proper manager who actually played him. His goal at Rotherham alone should have indicated his potential but what does Parky do but drop him for the next game. Thank goodness we are rid of the Neanderthal and seem to have replaced him with a manager who understands what the game is all about. Shame we didn’t complete the signing as you say but under the circumstances we could regret a lot of things that happened. Fortunately we’re now shot of both Parky and Anderson and can begin repairing the damage they did.

Wondering how soon to expect a season ticket offer, and if the early games without spectators can be included in an offer to show them on our PCs with the help of iFollow. Really upset to learn of Politic's injury(BN still describing him as a winger which he can't be in IE's new set-up) and glad that we now seem to have most positions covered in cases of such injury.

A month to go and no fixtures. Only found out the teams who would make up the league yesterday and cancelled games in Scotland. No fans until October earliest, wonder if there will be delays.
Big loss with Dennis Politic but going back to my initial line up I had DP as a squad player(and I dont mean that negatively. Think all the players will be used as squad. The notion of "first eleven" i think is gone with Evatt. All players equal, some more equal than others.

But can anybody see a way in which FV will be able to allow a certain number of behind closed doors games to be watched on computer or phone app with the price included in the season ticket? That should ensure much needed season ticket income being available to them from next Friday.

You’d hope they can mix live and media in the ticket Kenglo and I’m sure like all clubs they will be considering how to do it. One problem could be that not all clubs subscribe to iFollow and film their own games individually so the EFL can’t speak for everybody but I would imagine all clubs would want to offer something along those lines. A further problem is that clubs don’t want to deter fans from actually buying season tickets and attending home games so any iFollow coverage would probably be for away games only. It’s unlikely that away fans will be allowed into grounds initially anyway so coverage of away games may actually increase revenue for clubs who don’t have big away followings. Hopefully common sense and finances will rule and we will hear shortly what the plans are until we can return to more normal times. Fixtures at least are out on the 21st so that should create some interest. Stay safe all.

That should ensure much needed season ticket income being available to them from next Friday. I dont think it will as simple as that. Firstly how much of the fee would go to Bolton? Would Sky allow another company to do that, they still have rights for our leagues and paid for those. Maybe Sky themselves could do a red button service but that wouldnt really help the club. Unless there was an agreement in place. As for Doidge i agree that he would have been worth keeping and would have been good to see what a good manager could have got out of him. I dont blame Ken though, shady as the deal was, Dale Vince gave away his star striker on a promise. Phil rarely played him. He got 1 goal. Whats more important to Ken looking bad, keeping a promise or saving £1M?
