Re: January Transfer Target
I think Coly is struggling to get any players in. I don't think it's for the lack of trying. There are possibly three reasons why no experienced league players will come.
1.Eric will not pay the required wages to attract the calibre of players we now need.
2. Quality players do not want to play at a stadium, that is frankly non -league.
3. They may not want to play for Coley, and his team of scousers.
If nothing happens soon we are going to be in a position that we could not extract ourselves from, and the inevietable will be relegation. I never thought I would even think such thoughts, but I am becoming more and more pesimistic. If you look at the signing Coley's made since we were promoted to the League , they are non - entitys Saun Dougherty, a few young kids, no fees involved, it's as though we are trying to run a football club on the cheap. It might be the case that Eric has made funds available but the players of the calibre we now desperatly want and need will not sign for us. we all know of the players Coley has tried to sign, bur how many others has he tried for that we don't know about?
Maybe I'm just being over worried ,but something has got to happen very soon. I honestly can't see where a goal is going to come from in open play,let alone a win.
I don't want to criticise the present players too much but I think sentiment is ruling our heads, these are the players that brought us up through the Unibond and the Conference and into the Football League, but just maybe the have had their days, and we should move on very quickly,there is no sentiment in football, and we are all living in that past setiment including myself.
Please Eric we don't want to be known as the one season wonders. Imagine the newspaper headlines. Club have monies in bank but would not spend any,prefer relegation, and in the black.
Anyway friends I have got that of my chest now, and I don't feel any better., but I will still be there on Saturday, calling the Ref and Linesmen.
