I cannot emphasise enough how important I believe the recruitment is this time around? Always vital, this time it has to be spot on. We can’t afford any hands down the shorts, pitch wanderers with an attitude problem. That was the thing with the Graham Carr era bringing up players from the non league, there was a hunger to live the dream and succeed. I’m not suggesting that is the answer, just pointing out that the right professional approach is vital as alluded to with the new policy?
This is also one of the benefits of playing youngsters, boundless enthusiasm and desire to succeed? It’s really important we get the right blend of professionalism and experience coupled with ambition and enthusiasm? If we bring in or keep the wrong players then all this momentum will get killed stone dead. No Ash Taylor’s, Vent Spleens or other show ponies on an ego trip to sabotage the plan thanks.

I won't quote figures but Jones, Jones accepted extremely frugal terms on signing short term contracts to get them playing and in the shop window. Sheehan was only getting a third of what the two name sakes earns each week. Unless the basic wage is increased considerably, they will all leave!
I don’t think you ever did explain why he turned down the contract offer from AC Milan last summer? Are they back in for him now?

Careful mate most of the hard of thinking on here think we have a mid table budget, telling them we pay peanuts doesn’t fit their agenda.

Aren’t we in danger here of making it sound like they’re Virgil van Dyk and Kevin DeBruyne - Jones didn’t have a club until after Christmas but admittedly has been good for us for 5 months and Watson has been decent at times this season - and gone missing at others - but he has done the rounds without ever really cutting it anywhere longer than a season?
I hope not. I prefer players I can spell, Watson and Jones are fine by me.

Don’t remember anyone saying we had a mid table budget, just probably not a bottom 4. Surely it would make sense we signed L Jones, A Jones & Sheehan on peanuts. None had clubs and gone a while without a wage, two had injury issues and the other had failed to impress here at league 2 level. I’m pretty sure they were happy to get anything, they were big gamb1es for the club which paid off to varying degrees. As for agendas try looking in the mirror!.

Exactly that. I’m not even sure what the debate is here, we obviously picked them up on the cheap, they had all been subject to many months of unemployment. Why would we have paid them anymore!? Now is the time we reward Jones with a very strong league 2 wage and an armband! It’s also disappointing that we didn’t build in an option to extend in the clubs favour.

What was the story KC said about L Jones last summer?
I recall it came out in December time about how it took a while for KC to trust him again. Hence having to train for a month or so without being offered terms.
Something to do with him saying he was signing but never did??

That’s the one! Different to what I recalled. Seems fair enough, an injury would of left him without an income (even if Milan were interested!).

Ironic you responded when I mentioned hard of thinking, it would be interesting to know where our budget was at the start of the season and then after the Jan window? Irrespective of this the gross negligence by the chairman has seen us relegated yet again FACT.
