And employ 3 scouts instead.
The way I see it is that we are not seriously going to challenge for promotion but should be safe with what players we have at the moment.
So how about just writing this season off and have scouts scour the lower leagues for players we can sign to challenge next season. All we seem to do is make the same mistakes every close season signing players that our managers know, missing out on the talent that has been available.
I can't see us building a promotion winning team until we get a scouting network in place. Thank god most of what we have at the moment are on 1 year deals

Why are we any safer this season than we were last season?

Genuine question ... what scouting network do we have in place? Do we have anyone who acts as a scout for under 16 players? Who scouts non-league (for players)? Who scouts forthcoming opposition to feedback to the manager re tactics? Who scouts Lg2 and Lg1 for possible buys? Who scouts scouts? I know we don’t have a “football intelligence unit” but we must have something? Anyone know the set up, who can explain?

We need a quality striker and need him soon. We got to get goals or we wont do very well.

Why deal in such absolutes . |

Why deal in such absolutes . A terrible attitude or trying a different direction. Every pre season we make awful signings and find ourselves in the bottom half at Xmas. Why not try to change this by actually scouting players. We might actually have players on our books that we can be proud of then. |

I support the players we have, but now is the time that we should have scouts out, drawing up targets for another season in the conference or our first season back in the league. The guy city signed today was released by Yeovil 2 seasons ago. We should have been perfectly placed to take him on if our club were aware of him. Instead he fired rotheram to successive promotions and commanding them a 6 figure fee. We need scouts, it's blindingly obvious. |

Smith aside, who was the last player we paid money for that had any resale value when he left? No wonder we lose money. We need a scout. |

Big strong and an eye for goal. One hell of a signing for them. |

Strong team this season especially up front where all 4 of their strikers would probably walk into every other team in their league. |
