I hate to say "I told you so", but I was vilified on here for suggesting we needed to consolidate as much as possible with the squad we had.
Clearing the decks works 1 time in 10 at this level, and when it does work, it's normally like Cheltenham last season where they had one of the biggest budgets around. We don't.
Football is a simple game over-complicated by idiots - Sinnott had his moments, but this fella is ridiculous.
I was in exactly the same boat for being negative right from the off and predicting an 18th at best finish but after seeing what Young did at Stockport I just couldn't see anything positive about the appointment and the squad he has assembled. I actually said to Cult the week after Tolson was sacked, "please don't let Neil Young anywhere near our club"!
Why on earth we have signed players released by, at the time, poor Chester, Stockport and Southport sides? At least when Sinnott took over a number of his signings had had reasonable seasons prior to joining us. I know he signed a few duds in his time but I don't think any of them measure up to some of the current squad.
Another worrying thing is that I wonder if the fella has forgotten how to win a football game. If we don't avoid defeat on Saturday, and I'll be highly surprised if we do, then Young will have completed 21 games with one win, that's half a Conference North season. If that's not relegation form I don't know what is!
Oh and I wonder what his contacts are like at The Etihad as I believe they have a keeper looking to go out on loan!!!!
