Capitulation! Clearly the board have written off this season (gambling we stay up) . Money being the only motivator, have they not worked out, success brings forth riches!
Let’s hope it’s a masterful strategy designed to confuse. Not holding out much hope!

10 10 10 is our record. A literal and metaphorical average season.

Tonda has us 6th on form since he took over and the 4 2 3 1 shows promise but the lack of ambition is painful, especially as there are some big sides coming down next year

I want something to fight for so let's push for promotion or get worse and battle for relegation. Mid table is the worst!

The only winners are the accountants and when was the last time a statue was built in honour of a bean counter - precisely, never!

I haven’t been a fan of Armo recently but to trade him for umm an unknown and untried is putting it mildly, bewildering.

Continuing my travels to Antarctica, I find myself at a town called Ushuaia on the very tip of Argentina - ironically it is called ‘End of the World’ town - how fitting when considering SR’s business strategy.

Clearly SR have thrown in the towel for this season. No ambition at all.

Whilst AA might well have engineered a move away (who can blame him) and rumour has it he has been disruptive in the dressing room. he will be missed.

Stewart, Archer and possibly Larin? Only Stewart (if fit) gives any cause for optimism that we will have any attacking threat.

By the way, Derby sign Szmodics (as good as AA) while we gamble again with an unknown.

Can`t see any hope of a top ten finish let alone play offs.

Hoping for better in the next window.

Well it’s over now -with the capture of a 3.5m potential bulldozer from Canada and a well orchestrated very late attempt to sign a second striker (which was deemed to fail) .Toddy and Spors must think we all got off a green bus (excuse if the colour of country buses has somewhat changed over the years)! Prior inferances and transparency by the Club have been shocking over this period.However all is not lost as the conclusion is the Club must be building up for a large Summer spend with plenty of time ahead to (hopefully) approach the quality Players needed ( as was probably the directed plans all along)!

It only took us 30 games but I think we have a formation and starting 11 that has more promise.

With the transfer deadline looming it's like watching blamange set.

All we hear is who might be going (eg Arma and Archer) but no news or even rumours on incomings.

And this is not surprising to be fair - diving around the basement bargains is unlikely to yield a 20 goal a season striker or the next Virgil van Dyke.

What we actually need is character and attitude over technical ability. We don't need wannabe big time Charlies with their designer stubble and hair gel - we need grit and determination and a win or die trying attitude.

So maybe we should start fishing in a different pond.

If you're interested I'm now in Buenos Aires where the bill boards keep showing enormous pictures of a little bloke who goes by the name of Messi. Apparently, he was quite useful.
