But you don't think we should be looking for heart on sleeve types? My remark about change in direction was in relation to the bordering on incestuous approach to manager recruitment that's run through the club for decades. Quinn, Ward,Sinnott all on a hiding to nothing due to being relative outsiders in their appointment.People need to get behind the manager, the season has gone, and it was poor by what everyone expected in terms of a promotion challenge.But he's going no where for now, there's more outrage and dissent at us finishing 8th in this league than there was at us getting relegated so miserabley last season despite having so many chances to salvage ourselves.Lets see where we are in October, until then we can only trust that the recruitment policy this year will be better than last year.And that we can tempt a better calibre of player as there's more budget available hopefully, as we aren't paying for "lawn mowers" or bizarre signings on over inflated wages and contracts.

but now you want to see a return to what the club was built on (your exact words)

change in direction? incestuous approach for decades (your exact words)

make your mind up!

how inconsistant

John, the incestuous approach Socrates refers to is the previous policy of appointing ex-players as managers, without regard to managerial pedigree, not about having want it scousers playing for us. Surely that is clear? It is to me. You clearly have some strange agenda pal.

To be fair to John Crewe, he is nothing if not consistent...

I'm pretty happy with that group. It's the makings of a decent squad.

I'm hopeful that Phelan and McGivern will be better after a full pre-season with the team.

As everyone else has said, next season is likely to hang on whether we can put together a decent defence. Unfortunately I think tight defences are built over more than one season.
It would be a minor miracle if we managed to build a miserly defence for the first half of next season from where we are at the moment.

I really hope that we have a FULL squad and keep loans to the absolute minimum.
IMO it was the lack of a regular line-up that ruined our chances this season.

It wasn't quite that. It was the poor recruitment that necessitated the constant loaning and choppoing and changing.

That goes for the season before as well incidentally.

NICKY SIGNS UP

In the adjacent photo, we see a sight to gladden Alty hearts as popular wingman, Nicky Clee, meets chairman Grahame Rowley and signs up for his fourth season at Moss Lane.

He'd already agreed to sign up, this is just a photo of him trying to sign his contract through an A4 clear plastic wallet...

And here's me thinking this was a book signing event outside Waterstones in Huddersfield.......Great Crosses Which Have Gone In : Nicky Clee the  Autobiography  ;).........the book could do with being a bit thicker actually  ;D

It's heartening to see Nicky Clee already wearing our away kit for next season.

What a club man.
