Great Interview with Kent Teague, honest as ever.

Kents in the first fifteen minutes if that helps!

[Long slender neck]

Why the face? I'm congratulating you on a reasonable length pod.

[WhetstoneO]

Thanks guys, excellent as usual and found Kent's words very interesting. It sounds like he has treated this year as a 'free hit' but he's not going to put up with anything less than a play off/promotion challenge next season.

He's wrong, Prestige has ruled that top 10 is our target.

[Kent]

Good show as always. Found Kent Teague‘s words fascinating. This season was inevitably going to be difficult due to individual and collective trauma after the tragedy of Justin Edinburgh’s passing. Also add in the Fletcher debacle and its a season of healing and development.

However next season the play-off as a minimum rightly seems to be the expectation, which will make the recruitment in the summer vital to get right.

I couldn't tell properly but did the smiley face at the end so all good

If that really is the aim (and i have no reason to think Kent is lying) then I wonder what our recruitment is gonna look like (busy summer) and how long really has if we start next season poorly. If we are bottom 10 in November, do they pull the plug?

He said 2-5 players in the summer and that ML is back at his desk after 2 weeks off with an email asking him "whats the plan for summer signings". I'm not going to read too much into those numbers because I suppose it depends on the number of out of contract signings we re-sign.

He has more time off than Louis Dennis!

[KC & sunshine band]

yer all sounds plausible

But then again it always does.

I listen to Nigel and Kent and it all sounds great

But perception is reality and sorry it aint cutting the mustard

2/5 new signings would generally be exciting but who has faith in the committee who will appoint the signings.

Here we go will they be injured and cannot play, yoof loanees, old injured has beens, or family of lingletons

really pleased that we have a good net minder !!!

Smacks a bit of buy yer season tickets early cos its going to be another sh*t season

Pretty much what i have been saying for the last couple of months .

'' but he's not going to put up with anything less than a play off/promotion challenge next season.''
Action speak louder than words. Hopeful wishes and strong words will not achieve promotion.
If promotion next season IS to be achieved, then quite a few improvements and changes required in the playing staff and also the existing Manager and perhaps coaches if performances do not come up to scratch, we shall see.

Some OTT comments here mate.

Our side is one of the youngest average ages in the league and the players that have come in have been Ross’s connections (Vigoroux) or scouted (Cisse and Johnson).

Like that you picked up on the “net minder”!
