It all sounds very promising but we do need to get these two players in that Murray keeps referring to; hopefully one is a striker with some pace and still think we need a creative midfielder who can chip in with both goals and assists

It’s always amazing how much people love Josh Gordon just because he does what should be the absolute minimum of putting a shift in

Getting rid of Barky probably now key; he’ll be on a big wage you’d imagine

I think he's a good keeper and I thought was given some very harsh criticism last season when he was far from the worst performer. Unfortunately goalkeeper errors get scrutinised far more than ineffective performances from outfield players and there was plenty of them last season. Good luck to him ...

We’ve been a non league club for the vast majority of most posters lifetimes; looking forward to just enjoying going to Holker Street again and winning a few games, last season was utterly depressing

He’s the new Lutel James; sure we’ve been linked with him pretty much every summer for last 5 years

It’s actually fairly easy to get in the play offs these days, no reason we can’t do it, still just think we need a couple more real quality signings to properly compete though
Carlisle, Southend and Hartlepool will fill 3 of the top 7 places so there’s 4 to play for…..

The case study from Carlisle sounds promising, obviously a lot bigger club than us but at least they’ve experience of doing stuff in the national league

The issue for me is the endless line of blue colours, from Citeh to Dundee, from Sky Blue to French Navy.

Plus a yellow away shirt

It’s clear Murray has a plan with these signings so far; maybe it won’t work but il take that over signing a load of EFL crocks any day. Yes we probably still need 2/3 real quality attacking signings but the squad is building nicely

Just seen Kouyate in ASDA

Interesting to hear the chairman so candid. If you want to have a pop at him, just remember that nobody on here could, or would want to, fill his boots. If I’m wrong, get yourself on the board. Always such a lazy argument. You can (and we are) be very thankful for all the investment the board have ...

I would have had Winterbottom as our number 1 (assuming Stanway is going to bring some funds in) but the rumours around the last game of the season is a worry. Barrett would be an ideal number 2, you really want an experienced keeper behind such a new defence Of the other list Smith would be fine at...

The points about funding is fair enough, probably for obvious reasons but the update doesn’t mention if his (fantastic) funding will contain
