State of league 2 next season

[GBJ]

We have absolutely zero chance of getting Leonard back on loan.

Unless I’ve missed someone else, I believe Lenny is their record signing. It’s true that the fans don’t really rate him at Millwall, but I can’t imagine they’d be willing to send their record signing on loan to a Lg2 club.

if sol is moving on to bigger and better things i would like to see tilly back ...knows the awful league we will be in next year...cant bring myself to type it.. and us long in the tooth supporters all like the way tilly managed the team way back when...

I love Tilly as much as the next blue but would I want him back after what, 10 years away from the game? No. The game has changed somewhat since he left us and so has league two in fairness. I wouldn’t want him to come back and ruin his legacy. If Sol does leave, which over the last few days I’ve become more adamant that he will, I think we need to bring in a young manager with fresh ideas etc

Agree with what you say but Tilly would be a great assistant to Adam

Exactly this. Or Barret and Maher

This club has been on a massive spiral for the last 3 or 4 season. There is no affinity between the players management and fans. This needs to change and is pivotal to putting bums on seats prior to our move to fossetts.

 

[KiwiRob]

Gut feeling... no inside info or anything. But look at the evidence -

1) Minimal contact between him and players (allegedly)

2) Minimal statements and interaction with club

3) No comment on our relegation

4) Appears on TV and no comment is made about him being our manager

5) Heavily linked with Bolton job (no smoke without fire etc.)

Not the behaviour of a man building a squad for next season in my opinion.

Many thanks, fbm. The evidence is circumstantial but looks pretty persuasive.

 

[Streaky]

agree with the above, which basically breaks down to needing:
1. A new Adam Barrett
2. A new Michael Timlin
3. A new Barry Corr

Yeah - that’ll do for me

No way that Kelman and Bwomono will be with us next season

Elvis will be gone in this window, or the January one at the latest.

Ron won’t allow him to go for nothing next summer, when we’ve already turned away suitors over the last few windows.

He wouldn't go for nothing, he won't be 22 until November so as he's been with us since the age of 14 we'd be entitled to compensation. It's similar to the Dan Bentley situation and Ron turned down a higher offer for him and took the compensation at the end of his contract.

I guess it will depend on how big an offer we get for Elvis (and how desperate for cash Ron is at the time!)

Yes, this will be the deciding factor.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I think our squad will be fine next season, obviously we will pick up a couple of experienced players towards the start of the new season. I hope we don't try and get Lenny or Dru back on loan as the club seems to have a bit of an obsession with signing former players and it rarely works out

I think every promotion I’ve seen has been achieved with a centre-half on his second stint at his home town club (Clark, Prior, Barrett).

Maybe retaining John White is more of a priority than I’ve given it credit for.

 

[Highlands Blue]

Keep White,McLaughlin,Dieng,Lennon,and the Scottish lad,Ask Mr Barrett at Millwall if our 3 time POTY now playing for them is available for loan ,to be the spine in the midfield and onfield leader ,sign the 2 lads from Macclesfield then along with our young fellows we have a decent squad for league 2 .

Here's a conspiracy theory for you our 3 times POTY has just bought a house in Leigh on Sea!

Ron Poutney has lived in the area for years.

There’s an even bigger one involving somone from our past.

Leigh-on-sea or Bermondsey? Tough decision.
