People need to remember that Tom Sloanes and Dave Jones are just like us. They are both desperate for the club to improve and they’re not frightened to voice their opinions.

Do we always agree with each other? No. Do we want the same thing? Yes.

Let’s give them both a chance to see if they can walk the walk, especially Jones with his want for going towards an analytical approach to recruitment, something which a lot of people on here have been crying out for.
spot on
 
Wonder what they think about Grigg, has looked like he's hated being here since the minute he signed, he's not put a shift in to this day. This phrase about leaving it all on the pitch he's the complete opposite.


I know, that fucker should have been taken out and shot. Apparently he has moved up to Durham and looks fit and motivated, maybe they just threatened to shoot him?
 
Highly doubt we’ve seen any analytical view towards the signings this summer seeing as O’Brien basically didn’t play last season & Matthews was known to Parkinson previously. Be a canny coincidence if the lad topped the numbers and just so happened to be signed by Parkinson previous. Again with Graham, barely played last season so can’t be a numbers signing too. Then you’ve got Feeney only playing one game for Tranmere before getting injured.

If they’re looking at numbers say from 17/18 to make their decisions then surely Grigg should be key man here.
Good point.

Well hopefully it’s worked. Call me old fashioned mate but if I have one wish, it wouldn’t be that we get rid of Grigg, my wish would be, he returned to some sort of form and fired the goals in left, right and centre. That would make up for last seasons awful lacklustre displays more than him f***ing off elsewhere
 
I thought Jones and Sloanes came across well. Jones mentioned pace and a bit of sparkle. He also mentioned if needed we would sign short term. If its Danny Graham and he helps us get out of this league I couldnt give a shit, the one thing I will say about Graham last time he was here was he always gave 100%. Something that could not be said about a lot of the utter thieves we have had playing for us since then.
Let’s get Kevin Kyle back then. We need a Centre forward to score and make a difference. I’m sick of seeing players run about giving their all but being ineffective and lacking any dynamism in the final third.

He's never once looked fit and motivated for us. Ordinarily I'd say it's a huge gamble keeping him here but nobody would take him off us even if we covered part of his wages. Another fucker that's stolen a living from the club.

Given the outlay as a Div 3 club he should have moved up here from day 1.

Good to hear he has moved up here and hopefully his attitude has changed as a result. If he puts plenty effort in, gets off to a good start with some goals SAFC fans will support him.

Eric Gates first couple of seasons here were very poor but he massively turned it round and became well respected by the fans. We can but hope Grigg does the same.
 
I think Dave Jones said in there they are touching on the analytical side so sounds like alot of it will go in as things progress cant imagine they have everything in place for it to be as thorough as they like
 
The chairman has changed/will change, we've appointed a CEO, our head of academy has left, our head of recruitment has left, we've started to add young players to the 23s rather than selling them.

Theres loads changed...

Jim Rodwell - Pals with Charlie methven and straight away made a mess of the season card renewals on multiple occasions. Pissed off a lot of people and caused thousands to cancel, including myself. Bloke seems totally out of his depth and he has a massive question mark over his head after Scunthorpe went down, without building a new stadium and also the massive questions over his Boston days where they were calling him Robwell. Can’t see how that’s a positive appointment?

Everything else is completely up in the air so can’t be seen as a positive till we see who comes in surely. They added players to the u23s last few years, likes of Bainbridge, hunter, Collins, Abdelkader, Sammut all crap. Just because it’s a body in it doesn’t mean they’re good. Ridiculous to highlight that as a positive looking at the prior.

If we can find a new Kevin Kyle I would be delighted, he would be amazing at this level. If the manager thinks he can improve the team and we can afford him get him. What about players not even trying?
