I think it worth to remember that LS dosent exactly have a great record with signings

Yes Havern, Leather and Moult have been better than the rubbish last season and Richman has got better,  but the rest have been tosh

Doughty ok, but then again as he said at the fans forum we know Doughty a lot better than he does

He could sign players but how many Broomes, Miles, Mitchley, Brooks, Lacey, Flynn, Hawes type players would end up with?

There only so many ex Port Vale players about

Peake me baby

Wont Peake you because you make an interesting point


LS has said on numerous occasions - in the article about when the cup money was disccused - that he wouldnt sign loads and it had to be the right player

He spouted on about dressing room dynamics or something, but given his Miles etc.. last season maybe he doesnt want to sign some journeyman on 700 quid a week.

I know we want signing but whats is far more important is spending money correctly on decent players - whether this is lack of contacts or because theyre snapped up is another question (some may say if this were the case he should have acted sooner)

Would tolson help with contacts in the area? One very big worry for me is we dont seem as savvy on the scouting side anymore, ok i know that for every reeves theres two or three justin bowlers but its good to see a little churn rate.

Peake me harder  :D

For all the criticism Heathcote got, at least he took a keen interest in Non-league football throughout the northwest and had his finger very much on the pulse of teams one or two leagues below - plucking players like Danylyk and Lawton from relative obscurity.

Not sure how many games Lee gets to scout outside of Humberside....

There seems to be too many players that seem decent on paper, have a reasonable reputaion, but don't seem to have the character to succeed at this level. Miles, for instance, was very disappointing for someone of whom there was much hope.
