McCann being available probably came late to us as he was clearly looking higher up the pyramid. The deal obviously suited both parties, if he continues on the trajectory he is we either up the current deal early if agreed by both parties or cash in. Hopefully we learn lessons of old and don’t let the deal run its course unless the agent gets too greedy.

Not played a proper run of games since February and not at all since April. Signed a 6 month deal legs must have well a truly gone

What if the scenario is Brady is not willing to travel so far North.
Who would the next option be🤔
Brady is a Australian you seen the distance there

"Brady is a Australian you seen the distance there" . Yes, but everything is relative Pedro.

I was really hoping we would at least have a right back and/or centre back lined up early in the window when it’s been so obvious for months we’ve needed them. Unless the plan is get this weekend out of the way then sign folk when we’ve two weeks before the next game, but that would indicate we do planning and I’m not convinced on that….

I’d be surprised if the owners are chucking much money at this transfer window. We probably need to get one out to get one in during this window.

If Stanway leaves we won’t have a keeper as Winterbottom’s injured.

Then we'll go down because we'll keep conceding soft goals and any new manager who has ever watched us would not come here without assurances about squad investment!
Yes we're 7 points clear but the team's at the bottom and around us all have to play each other, this mindset of we're too good to go down and things will turn around has been going on all season and we're still leaking goals yet the mantra is we'll work on it ,this is delusional the problem is there for all to see yet we still accept the excuses rattled out at every post match interview!
I'm not trying to be smart but I'm genuinely worried about the situation we're in !

That is why somebody from the club needs to make statement. Nothing since December 10th and all this silence and no increase this season for the playing budgets points to belt tightening from the owners.

Supporters old and new are not being given any encouragement to rally to the cause now they are being faced with this ongoing wall of silence.
It's gone on far too long now.
I'm going to the game on Sunday, whereas I could have been 'really' looking forward to going to the game if the club had just given out a little posotivety.

Someone should play "The sound of silence" over the speakers in the ground, cause its deafening to everyone but those with their heads in the sand.

Been told it's definitely Gallagher in charge, I'm not sure it's a big risk let's hope the board have got it right but if it was purely financial ........... only time will tell!

So why have they not announced it???
Not like he is not already here and why is it the interim manager being pushed to the front for everything.
Really is rapidly becoming a shambles along with Terrible Radio Silence.
Community club???????????
