The first thing surely they need to do is get Manning to sign a new contract.. It would be a massive positive to have him here next season.. |  | | |  |

There probably are but they will be on quite a bit more.
We should make a good effort to keep him as he is a solid pro who is a jack through and through. |  | | |

An employee of our club who wants a contract offering more
Outstanding ? Not really
Replaceable ? Absolutely | |

A decent player I'm happy to have in the squad but not one worth keeping at any cost. His crossing of a live ball is atrocious. |  |
| Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair, or f*cking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back. |

Him AND latibeaufiere, neither can cross.
While I want to see investment, nt at any cost and while I will moan about it, I've seen plenty of players come in on good money only to be a total let down.
It's a difficult path to tread but we need to balance spending | | | |

In fairness to Lati, I wouldn't expect crossing to be a strength of a central defender, no matter where Russy keeps insisting on playing him. As a fullback/wingback, it should be something that Manning is good at. He isn't. Bidwell was a much better crosser. | |

Perhaps its because he isnt a winger, Martin's persistence in playing full backs as wing backs are the problem, as I've said manning is a solid pro, someone we need with the young squad we have. | | | |

You'd expect a fullback to be able to sling a decent ball over more often than Manning does. Any player naturally sited out wide should. | |

You would wouldnt you especially the amount of time they play wing back, you would also expect them to practise crossing if they play wing back. | | | |

A takeover is not true, no. Not sure why people keep saying it.
They have said they are seeking investment. That’s what an ownership model such as this does and why they were brought in. Due to their access to further investors. |  |

As for Manning. We shouldn’t be breaking the bank for him.
If we make a left back one of our highest earners (or among them) as reported he would become, not only does it restrict you in key areas but other players will start knocking on the door.
The reason Manning has had such a good season is he is literally our only player capable of providing any sort of width, albeit with a defensive mindset.
We are screaming out for wingers and wide players, Manning having the season he has had shows that. This system cannot work in the centrally mobile way it has been carried out for the last 2 years, which is largely why we struggle.
Russ not working that out in 4 years is one of the main reasons I lost faith in his footballing knowledge and tactical nous. It’s not even particularly complex. | |

Name is being branded about, can't see it myself but he has Welsh roots.
Rumours of a takeover being talked about but again I can't see that, saying that, with this lot in charge then nothing will amaze me.
Supposedly something hopefully being announced this week or next week at the latest.....thats the rumour. |  |

There have been strong rumours for a while, I don't know if there was any truth in the £40M price tag with the £15M promotion clause. |  |

Actually I'd expect any pro player to be able to do a basic thing. If a parks player in local leage can cross then a pro should be able to, after all it's only a lofted pass. passing is one thing we do to death UNTIL we get to the oppo penalty area when we forget how. | | | |

I would doubt our majority owners would take a sixty million loss on their initial investment with 28 or so small investors to keep happy. Unless of course Silverstein is part of the plan. Unless someone more business minded can explain the diluted side of things. | |

The club was valued at £100m, they originally paid about £60M for their shares, didn't they? So basically a £20M loss, possibly only £5M if we were promoted within 5 years. Obviously excluding any money they have put in since. Or am I way off the mark? | |
