What needs to happen next?

Hmmm.

Not a great deal I don't think.

It seems to be fast becoming clear that we're very much a work in progress at the moment. I think it will be a number of seasons yet before we see a consistant challenge to the table toppers.

The key for me is not to slip too far down. We need to be making the play offs as a minimum and a good cup run would be good.

Longer term we'll hopefully see a core nucleus of home grown youngsters forming the foundations of the team for a number of years.

So to catch up:
Food prices have been delegated to vendors and it's the spectators fault for not turning up in greater numbers so we can have better players. What are the clubs responsibilities in the current fiasco.

lets get out of the way about McNamara. 7000 brave souls watched the match yesterday. If he was sacked and replaced then it would be 9000. The club would be seen as taking a positive step to improve. thats my opinion and I am prepared to be shot down.

I do not see how sacking the coach would suddenly see 2000 people think about coming back.. are that many really staying away because of McNamara?

Hit the nail on the head there' That's definitely the plan, but whether it will work is another thing.

In short, no.

I think the point being made is that the club would at last be showing some ambition which hasn't been obvious for a while now.

The question is can we show ambition under McNamara? I think the key to the answer will be in next seasons signings, whether they are world class, young bright prospects or Michael Platt types.

I though we were going to be good once we had Lesley's salary available, the Hape's salary, then Iestyn's salary.

Some of the problem is what's available.
Money or no money you can only buy what is available.
