Unfortunately his signing confirmed to me the fears about Young being given the manager's job. He was unknown to the Southport fans on the Conference forum and surely the fact that he'd spent most of last season on loan at Stalybridge was enough to tell us he wasn't up to the standard we required.

My son-in-law's mate, who played for Young at Chester, also mentioned that Young is one of those Scousers who doesn't like ot "get" Mancs. I beginning to wonder if he did all this, and likewise at Stockport, on purpose!

I suspect a large chunk of that figure would need to spent on paying up contracts of some of the dross we currently have on the books. Consequently there won't be an awful lot left to bring in new players.

I know he's going to be a better bet than either Cyrus or Hall but it is a bit worrying that JH can't come up with someone a bit younger but then I suppose desperate times call for desperate moves!

Considering how poorly we've played at home for all of this year, I think the players get away pretty lightly and as fans we've generally been a reasonably tolerant lot.

As for Saturday, as Glyn says we've got no new players in so there certainly aren't any on the books that can improve things. Probably scrap the 5-3-2 we played the other night, as there's no way you can have two in midfield when James Lawrie is one of them. Maybe Richman back in for someone....Moult a strong contender.

Heart hopes for a 2-1 win but my head is telling me it will probably be 3 or 4-1 to them!

Add to that a central midfielder

Make that two and a centre forward plus a left winger (oh I know where there's one of those!).

Clee's contract at Guiseley finishes on 5th November, so he's a free agent in like 10 days.

Snooze you lose, so the powers that be best get their fingers out if they want him.

bit of an odd contract that ?

3 months from the start of the season, maybe not that odd considering Nicky's injury problems last season. Oh and don't forget which manager signed him for Guiseley!

Definitely agree and while we're getting Nicky back let's ask County for a couple of players. Glen Rule is sat on his backside most weekends and I'm sure would provide us with much needed creativity in mid-field. It will be in their interests to loan us players as we will be able to take points off teams at their end of the table!

When I first saw Lynch in the pre-season games, I described him as Simon Richman with a left foot. He'd run all day and tackle people but hadn't got a clue what to do with the ball at his feet. Thinking back a couple of seasons or so, Richman was almost irreplaceable but then it was with good players around him who could receive and pass the wall, thereby making Richman look a good player. Maybe the same is happening with Lynch at Halifax?
