18/19: 01 July - Leistner
17/18: 01 July - Scowen
16/17: 22 June - Borysiuk

The clubs webpage has a 90 second video  showing some parts of the new training site and it's looking good. You will have to  givie us an overview after your visit.

Looking at our squad we need a minimum of 2 RWB 2 CM  1 DM  and 2 WM/W that is before anybody else leave or we replace players that are simply not good enough (Hamerlinen Martin Richards? etc.)

I cant see us recruiting enough to meet our current needs of 7 - 10 players let alone replacing the players we all seem to think will leave ( Dykes Willock Johansen Chair Adomah Deing) 

There is a big big job for Ainsworth to do. If he fails he will still have my support. there would be very few managers that would succeed with the problems he has got.

Getting rid of the owners or the DOF at this stage will not help we need everyone to pull in the right direction now.

He sounds like exactly the type of player we would sign.

He's 29 in September too so just so far away from everything the club said in the past about who we are targeting.

No sell on value, injury prone and predominantly played at a lower level so far. Sounds brilliant.

Johansen has left the club and seems by mutual consent. I think that is the seventh departure if we include the loanees, and of course they all have to be replaced if we are to have even the small squad we had before....

The media is suggesting we are interested in resigning Paul Smyth (who was lately at Orient). I know he is on a free but what extra does he offer to that of Kelman?

He's not good enough for this level, we know that already. He has no physical presence whatsoever and just get's muscled out of the game before we even get chance to see his 'pace'

Goodness me we really are going backwards fast and scraping the barrel now.
