What has happened/is happening at Fleetwood presumably isn't just the result of their backer throwing money at players. The change in manage last season smacked of someone having worked out a vision for a clubs and of taking steps to achieve it. Although not everything was rosy by any means in the EW years, at least there wad that decisiveness and sense of purpose. I just hope for Fleetwood's sake that that haven't made the mistake of other Lancashire clubs in seemingly paying out money in wages whilst forgetting the tax man.
I'm not sure I'd they will pass us on the way up as I hope that our FL adventure still has some way to go.
On the subject of Miles, on those occasions I've seen him play when I've been able to get to games, he seemed a luxury player who wasn't always in the game but was capable of producing the odd moment of magic. I'm not convinced that there's any place for that kind of player on League 2. League 1, perhaps, but not 2. It'd bad form for him not to speak to JC face to face, especially when he'd agreed to signs new contract, buoy perhaps he was still waiting for his to be typed as well and was sick of waiting until "next week".
It would be nice if whoever takes his place in the squad could offer some genuine width like we used to enjoy from Roberts, Prendergast, Hoskin...
