Thanks Gullscorer. It's a interesting report. I am surprised it hasn't been discussed more widely on here. It demonstrates I feel just how difficult this season is going to be for us all and how much the team us to get behind them throughout it. Let's not have any delusions from a couple of useful results it is going to be a long haul. It's easy to say (and right to say ) we can only work with the budget we have - but the article demonstrates what this means in practice.

Or it could mean that a player hasn't impressed enough to be offered a deal and the manager wants to use funds to secure other players. With Ex leaving and Hickford returning to his parent club we need another centre-half and I'm sure there will be an addition to rectify that very soon. We'll also be getting a striker so ignore the doomsday calls from parties with ulterior motives.

Is Ex off? I missed that.
