Yikes.

I like the coloured text.

Reminds me of Football manager on the Commodore 64.

*** YOU HAVE WON THE FA CUP ***

The rebuild is more like DIY SOS big build but with less people willing to help.

 

[Mad Cyril]

I thought this thread was going to be about Ron Martin's front wall which has been rebuilt more times that your average Jenga set.

First job for the new manager has got to be getting Oxley signed up.

 

[Floval Flyer]

First job for the new manager has got to be getting Oxley signed up.

Exactly this /\

 

[Sandbach Shrimper]

First job for the new manager has got to be getting Oxley signed up.

And Coker, I'd say.

 

[RHB]

And getting the West stand bogs fixed. Priority job.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

And getting the West stand bogs fixed. Priority job.

And some milk in the Hot Chocolate's.

Yikes.

Yikes is not the word for some of those contracts dished out for the old boys...Jesus.

 

[Barry.C]

Will we see lots of " left by mutual consents "

Will we see lots of " left by mutual consents "

Doubt it. Can't see why any player would unless they get a better offer elsewhere which, based on this season's performances, is highly unlikely.

 

[Silencer]

Nice chance for a rebuild, the new management can build something

Taking up options on Coker and Turner is a great start, with the likes of Kightly, McLaughlin, Demetriou, Kiernan that's a cracking basis of a squad. New management, better man management and fresh ideas should get better from these players, they are all capable of playing in the upper end of League one if not the Championship imho

Yikes.

So we can add Coker, Turner, McGlashan and Wright to that list really, which kind of reduces the "Yikes" a bit.

 

[southendkid]

Will we see lots of " left by mutual consents "

Can't see it for the older players, you generally leave by mutual consent because you want to find another club, but the older players are probably planning to retire at the end of their contracts so they won't be interested in that.

 

[Jam_Man]

Whilst there are some long contracts there the second list does give the new guy a lot of options on whether to keep players or let them go.

How Theo Robinson got such a long contract I have no idea, he is either on £50 a week or has the best agent in football.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I'm not sure those options are automatics to be exercised.

Can we afford to have Turner when Ferdinand is already under contract? I don't think you can play them as a pair. Do you alternate them next season?

Coker you'd think so, but we have Hendrie and Kyprianou both under contract for multiple years. Coker is the best player of the three but three left-backs seems extravagant (and yes, I know they've been playing centre-half as well).

McGlashan is a bit part player, Wright may be the most likely one but I don't think is the type of player you build around either.

 

[Jam_Man]

Whilst Kyprianou came through as a left back I think he will be a centre half for his career.
