All of this comes back to DA, whether he intended and foresaw it all or not. If he intends to give us a decent budget next season why didn't he try to save us this time round? Why did he prompt the entire club's descent into chaos (no proper board, a manager whose only experience of a relegation battle ended in relegation from the Championship with Wigan, a CEO who became Director of Football and then was made redundant all in a matter of weeks, a massive debt ........)? So do we believe DA and are GC and the gorilla capable of recruiting a team for next season?
Unless there is a DA cash-injection Matt is right we'll be looking at Freebies who are happy on modest wages. There are non-leaguers available who could step up, but we do have to be aware that especially with the younger players competition is tough. Bigger clubs are thinking Jamie Vardy and they are likely to move quickly. More quickly than us! In the recent weeks Middlesbrough signed a goalscoring midfielder called Lewis Wing from Shildon, approached Blyth Spartans' Luke Armstrong and Leicester grabbed Stafford Rangers' Josh Gordon. But in view of the fact that our only strength appears to be the youngsters we have coming through perhaps we need to some experience in the signings we make. If Dagenham don't go up their driving mid-twenties midfielder Corey Whitely gets a rave most weeks, Woking have Gozie Ugwu who has league experience and has scored 15 so far this season and my mate Tobi Sho-Silva is now a man with some experience not a boy. The bigger clubs are less interested in these players because they are may have Division One potential only. BUT the point I'm trying to make is that though there are a lot of players out there both in the league and outside it that we might sign, doing well out of it is difficult. Gambles are gambles because there is a potential to lose ....... and I'm guessing DA will be sending us into the the gambles market.
First place I'd visit if I were Guy the gorilla, and I've said this before is Kidderminster. They've done well in National League with a young team and they have several players who might make it for us. Francis-Angol started life at Spurs, Nti is a possible and Elton Ngwatala simply ought to be be at a higher level. Unfortunately if we move at our usual pace and don't sign anyone until late June we can forget it, book our place on the Orient Express and get ready for Guiseley away.
