In/Out of Contract players + 1 options

As much as I like Thornley, he will go to pastures new for the money & a signing on fee. We need to identify a big experienced CB
who will command his area like Ekpiteta does and influence his teamates just like Keogh did. With Tharme or Casey included in a match day
squad of 18, this would be the best option. The same apply's to the midfield with someone like Oliver Norburn if he still wants to move back North ? IMO.
 
Don't get the clamour for Casey or Tharme or Owen Dale for that matter. If we're looking to go up, surely we can do better than two defenders who were part of teams regularly ripped apart in League 1 and the other being eventually dropped to the bench at Portsmouth. We'll be bringing back Charlie Kirk next.
 
At the end of the season, I always look forward to seeing who we're releasing.
I have to say after this horrendous season, that I'm not bothered about most of them.
We need to recruit several combative, ball playing, leaders, both at the back & in midfield. Jerry will leave (to Rangers for about £2m?) & he will be hard to replace, as good strikers are a rare breed.
What's the point of receiving 2 million if we are left with no one to score goals. We can't replace Jerry's quality for 2 million
 
I am not being critical of your post as I both understand and agree with your point about re-investing players sold into the team, this would make the “Product Offer” more appealing and “should” increase attendances by playing more attractive football…..HYPOTHESIS

The problem is too many of The Fylde Coast’s Population are either individually “financially unable” or as in most cases “financially inwilling” to support Championship Football.
Therefore our “”Custodian” has to take the transfer money to help “balance the books” on a day to day basis or we would not have league football in the town at all…REALITY

Having fought hard and made sacrifices alongside many thousands of other NAPMers to get an owner like we now have, I am personally sickened by the “toys out of the pram” attitude some Poolsters have demonstrated in certain posts on this Forum recently.

We came up as a division 1 club and the towns population, whether due to “financial inability” or…..as in most cases ”financially unwillingness” have failed to move the club up to a Championship set up, so we are therefore returning to our current rightful place division 1.

I’ll certainly be getting my Season Ticket for next season as soon as they are on sale, whilst I’m sure most existing ST holders will follow suit, it’s the “One Game Johnny’s” that need to start buying Season Tickets too!
I respect some people may not be financially able to do so due to “economic impracticality” but they are very much a minority.

By buying an ST you will be paying around £14 a game.
I do believe Five Game Book Vouchers that can be exchanged for any match throughout the season should also be available for £100.
Obviously with these vouchers you are not guaranteed the same seat every game……a benefit ST holders only should enjoy.
Individual match tickets should be £28 so we can charge away fans that too, to generate more income into the club.

We ALL have our part to play in taking the club forward!!!

but the lack of investing in a couple of quality first team players has ultimately cost us possibly upwards of £10million+ in lost revenue next season with the new tv deal and lower attendances etc

We have that centre back.

Our midfield got ripped apart, was that solely down to Patino or Fiorini?
If Portsmouth want Dale they will try to pay as little as, possible by making out that he is not that good.
We need to view them with a fresh pair of eyes, they all played a, significant number of games in L1 last season

I fully agree. I'd also be concerned that it be used to run the club & won't be spent of buying contracted players in the same way as the money from Josh, Critchley & Richard.
 
Anyone hoping for an immediate return will read that and weep. I’d say we have 7 players three of mounting a promotion challenge - midfield and up front is dire!

Maybe Maybe Not??
The “Town” and AVFTT Forum and especially “Johnny Come Lately’s” need to understand the difference between “good owners & bad owners”
At least OUR Club has a “Custodian” who is a “TRUE” fan.
In SS I trust, think you all should do too.
