Such a shame that we have some of our best players in the last year of contract. | |

Established international won't come cheap but cheaper than if he was on a longer contract | | | |

Some might say that it is careless to allow that to happen. | | | |

Very careless. I think Winters is a waste of space. | |

I'm fast coming to the same opinion. As I stated elsewhere it looks like he has painted us so tightly in a corner with his activities over the last couple of months that we might have to accept peanuts for players that are hard to replace. | | | |

He is,as is Martin.It's not apparent now but it soon will. We've been kippered here.IMO. Russy said there would be several coming in. I don't think there will be.Hope to be proven wrong. If Connor and Grimes go,just look at what we have left AND we till have Russy and the uber fans pleading for patience for HIM to make things right. People are entrusting possibly our club future in the hands of an unproven ingenue manager from MK Dons. MK Dons .Think on that. Being relegated will truly be a trap door for us.IMO I can only see Blackpool as probable relegation candidates thus far. | |

So let me get this right OHL you believe we will sell Grimes & Roberts and bring no-one in over the next 35 hours? | | | |

Once a player isn’t interested in a contract extension/new contract the writing is on the wall and that is the time to act. It’s a cutthroat business | | | |

Read what I read and do not fill in gaps. I am suggesting we COULD see connor and grimes go and have maybe 1 or 2 in to replace. I am also suggesting,given our histrory,we bring in Kids Injured players Sick players Ones for future development We brought in the likes of Asoro for £2 as one for the future. 800k for Whittaker,who gets a hatrick then will see him probably loaned out. Our first signing Joseph loaned out after a great show v Plymouth And you want to be patient! | |

If Martin doesn't manage to get the players in he said, I don't think that's his fault. That would mean he hasn't been backed, when he's been told he will be. | |

Surely the time to act is earlier though>? | |

If you don't want us to be patient, what do you suggest we do? | |

I would say that they tried before now, always been talk that he wanted to get promoted with us but would see from there if it didn't happen. If we got promoted, possibly would have signed a new contract and we would be in a place to offer wages that say Burnley could pay now. Footballs a short career and he has to do what's best for him and his family. | |

Yeah you're probably right. Thinking about it, if he hadn't got injured he'd be gone by now. If he hadn't returned from injury now, he would be staying. Can't be helped I suppose. | |

Find a deity and pray. That seems the best option. By the way,how patient would you be. How long would you give Russy 3 months 6 months 12 months or 3 years-the length of his contract. Would you be patient enough to lock him at the club for 3 years. If not,why not. | |

I will answer that, have to give him until atleast January. Think about it rationally, a month into his job and he is already being questioned. Cool heads Captain Mainwaring. | |

I would definitely give him until Christmas to see some proper improvements. Even then, I wouldn't sack him for league position. Its all about progression in my eyes. Shouldn't be difficult for him to improve on what we saw in the last game, so as long as it's moving slowly forward, I'm behind him fully. Even if we are still in the relegation zone at Christmas. I understand fully why people are upset at the last performance, but we need to give the guy time. Plenty of it. I don't have the feeling or confidence I had when Potter was manager, but I am still optimistic. | |

Well ,credit to you and good luck with that. I am utterly in disagreement . Bottom at Christmas Willis a portent of what will come and that would be because we trusted one man and one who is a novice. He has not the experience nor track record to give unfettered trust . That would be suicide . | |

Neither did Roberto have experience though. Monk too. | |
