Jonah Shoemaker and Jonah Manwork must be the same Posh supporter because of their relentless negative sniping of NTFC.

THEY ARE DEFINATELY NOT COBBLERS SUPPORTERS!!!

Ah, I thought they all signed together at the same time as first years. Is Caleb just on the official site because he's made the bench then?

Anyway, it is categorically not Kwame Thomas, James Heneghan who was at the game confirmed it wasn't him.

We will sign some first-time names with money, maybe one or two will be players people know and rate, and we'll also have some nobody signings and maybe pick one or two promising trialists on short-term deals as well. They won't all by players we spend money on, and they won't all be trialists either, people maybe need some perspective that the reality is going to be somewhere in between the extremes here.

Yes, he did make the bench and was given a squad number.

I’m taking it for granted that all pro footballers get wages  Roll Eyes
Granted we are breaking the mould by going down the peanuts+ route which I’m sure come the first proper match in a couple of weeks time will have resulted in us missing out on our top targets (KC has already admitted this) and instead cobbling together some peanuts+ players who no one else wants but who don’t fancy shifts at Tesco...,

Sorry to be so negative but it’s always the same

Get promoted
Dismantle team
Fail to sign decent loan players on permanent deals (Collins, Marquis....Wharton , Morton ) only to see others pay what’s due and reap the benefits...
Get in players who are not up to league one standard
Get relegated

Repeat.

I’m sure many will moan at this negative outlook of mine but let’s just admit it there is more than a touch of reality too it rather than blind mushroom like faith...

We’ve got promoted
Hooray !!

Now let’s see what happens

I think the biggest difference with the loan signings is at least we are trying to get Morton and Wharton back, unlike last time.
I think changes had to be made as the squad last year wouldnt have been good enough but the decision to get rid of Turnull, knowing Goode was likely to leave and they must have know Wharton wanted to try getting in to Blackburns team, was a mistake.
I agree with the peanuts+ model. If you have the chance to definitely earn a salary, or possibly earn a bit more but subject to lots of terms which would you take? Especially knowing injuries, suspensions, being dropped are all part of football.
Salary is a salary that pays the bills, a bonus is just that.

My point is last time teams signed Collins and marquis
Collins helped get Luton promoted
Marquis joined donny and was sold on for £2 million.
We bid for neither....

We won’t be signing Wharton or Morton permanently other clubs will sign them and reap the benefits.

Quote KC today
‘We won’t be entering bidding wars’

As a club we learn nothing

Tell me why we won’t be in league two again within our usual two year league one flirtation?

I mean, we probably wont avoid relegation, as based on the size of the club we're a League One/Two yo-yo club. If we recruit well, we may flirt with the Championship and may even get there if we're lucky, but we may equally go straight back down if we recruit badly. We wont do either however by spending silly money and ending up doing a Bury.

We have already previously tried to use a little bit of money to get Sowerby in, I wouldn't be surprised if we sign one or two for a token transfer much like we paid for Goode in the first place. We just wont be competing with Sunderland or Ipswich in fees

Let's be honest, if the season were to start this Saturday, we'd be up a certain creek without a paddle. At the very minimum we need a certified striker and a CB, that might see us finish 20th.

At least there’s some symmetry - we got both our lone striker and lone centre back from Macclesfield!

We did not rate either. We could have signed both but chose not to.

Those advocating a spend, spend, spend policy seem to be forgetting that we don't know when supporters will be allowed back into stadia. Gate money being the major revenue for the lower leagues.
Prudence could therefore be vital to survival. It wouldn't surprise me if 4-5 clubs bite the dust this season.

Also the last time we threw big cash at the team we ended up with a load of overpaid Billy Big Bollox upsetting dressing room harmony.

We probably have a lot of irons in the fire and many might have depended on the Goode situation being resolved.
Now it has hopefully things will start moving.....

Probably being eased back in after his hamstring issue - either that or he’s signed for Salford!

That's a bit of a silly comment. Why would Shoey be expected to pay for those things? He didn't opt to buy the football club, did he?
