Because we need to get another couple of coaches into the building first.
We are seeking a coach to coach the coaches, and one to improve Embleford’s presentational style in media interviews.

Don't forget the fashion coach to sort out the caps that the boss wears.

1. No hat particularly on indoor or under floodlights interviews - where the face cannot be seen clearly
2. To minimise facial scratching by using an organic soap to minimise the pretroluem residue causing itching
I agree about the hat. I never understand why people have them ‘glued ‘ to their heads. Unless they are bald like Russell Slade or it is very sunny, or raining. cannot see the point. Seen people wearing them in church!

We haven’t signed anyone yet as Martin Ling has taken a well deserved holiday, he will return towards the end of the transfer window ‘to do business as that’s when stuff happens’

You can’t make this stuff up!

Wright I reckon, followed by JMD (loan) then Happe and Johnson (fees). Turley also a possibility sadly, loan to NL side of some sort.

I don't think we will be able to afford anyone else after we've agreed terms on the new contract that Samling is currently negotiating. Sounds like he's not just wanting to be the highest earner but we're looking at a much bigger package than that.

Glad we are getting our business done early. That was the plan I understand.

Mind you Judd and Wright out. Probably the priority. Freeing up some cash. Now done I expect news any day now.

I don't expect us to sign anyone. Why would the owners throw money at the club at such an uncertain time. Maybe a cheap loan or two at best.

Everyone’s contract runs out at the end of the season. Only Sotiriou, Cissé and Ogie are secured for next season.

Why bring anyone in when there is still a chance that the season may end prematurely?

Hasn't stopped a number of League 2 sides from bringing in new players - Forest Green have been busy. Has there been any interest in DJ?
