soon i think we are going to win a game well ,everything will finally click into place and a 4-0 ,4-1 score will be on the cards ,until then we will jst keep on improving little by little ,wins by the odd goal will suit me just fine, there will be setbacks its normal, even in our heady days there was. We have finally turned the corner ,no more talk about relegation please, lets just concentrate on supporting the management and players SUFC IS ON THE WAY UP!

 

[Tommy2holes]

I wonder if that's us done for a while?

We need to undoubtedly ship players out.

Unfortunately, the likes of Coulson, Ferguson, Dunn and Agogo will be picking up wages for a while.

 

[Lincoln Shrimp]

Riggers suggests that there is more to come next week, with the possibility of 2 of the current crop heading out to balance things up.

Plus I wonder what the wages scenario now is with AKI and ANG, I forget but does insurance help in these unfortunate positions?

 

[rigsby]

You could prank people and start putting random 2 letter combo's , watch people go "Who's YT ??" haha

I believe thats a nickname for John White

Wouldn’t of thought so. Not that Ron would shell out the premiums anyway ?

 

[BoyWonder2]

Should be 1 next week, and all being well, could be 2. Be more in time for Dover as opposed to Aldershot.

Egbri should be out of the door, and potentially one other as well.

 

[Blue Yonder]

I’m amazed and delighted we’ve got the budget to keep recruiting. There is going to be one hell of a cull this summer. Looks like nearly all the ex academy players are off the radar now.

That's the big problem. We have a first team squad of 34/35 before the new lads, and as you rightly say, players such as Coulson, Ferguson etc would be on good money with contract past the end of this season in some cases, hence will be difficult to move on with finances across the football board being tight.

Interesting. Would guess a striker to cover for Murphy (or replace him?) and the other being another central midfielder (especially if Atkinson's contract isn't renewed).

(am not in the know at all, just a guess)

 

[Thundersley Blue]

Thought I had read somewhere that Atkinson's contract had been extended until the end of the season. On the evidence of last night a good thing. When he was with us before his true value was only appreciated when he wasn't playing. The way he is playing at the moment, he is well worth keeping.

If its from the list to go my preference would be Dunne. The others are only on a year contract but if we can get his 2 year contract off the books we would be laughing

 

[Loan Shark Linda]

I reckon with Egbri going a couple of wingers so we have the ability to change formation

Will that be loans or permanents? For in and outs?

These players transfer fees are a mere trifle compared to our various hmrc bills. The question is more if we can keep paying them on time.

Would that be in addition to Kinali who has gone back to Hendon on loan for the rest of the season?
Like Benton and Egbri, if he goes to Farnborough for the rest of the season, that takes him to the end of his Southend contract.

 

[Loan Shark Linda]

I suppose we are signings players now and even paying fees because next season with the financial rules in it will restrict us to an extent. So we are doing a mini Wrexham, Stockport and Chesterfield

 

[Shrimper]

Egbri, Kinali, Mitchell-Nelson out on loan

Potential funds to bring in a winger?

In addition too…

Someone who has been in and around the first team.
