Deafening silence coming out of Cougar Park

Re: Silence : Mon Sep 05, 2016 3:23 pm  

Ifeel as low as a crocodiles whatsits at the moment.Despite being the bookies favourites,we have finished bottom of the long established clubs.We have now lost our best forward by far,other forwards are either injury prone,overweight,past their best or not improved.We have only Jamel Goodall to look forward to as it stands in the pack.Someone cheer me up.

Re: Silence : Mon Sep 05, 2016 3:40 pm  

Sorry pal. No cheering up from me. One of the worse season i can remember.
The team has gone backwards. The club is going the same way.

Re: Silence : Mon Sep 05, 2016 5:10 pm  

If a player is out of contract and a club come in and offer them a 2 year contract on full time money etc how could we match that.
The problem is with clubs like ours anyone who has a good season or 2 will always have offers from better clubs to leave.
Let's not judge until the start of the next season.
A new coach and new players who knows.
Low profile is what we need instead of making big statements.

Re: Silence : Mon Sep 05, 2016 5:23 pm  

Dont think anyone is blaming players Mr Hicks. For wanting to move on.
I agree with you about the club not making big statements. No point till there is something to say.

I fear the off season will be long, cold and painful..

There is a pulse and fading signs of life but even the life support system needs the electricity bill to be paid...

..or will it be switched off?

Yes that was about as lackluster as it gets, another year of doldrums (sure ive said that before...)

Fawcett gets a bashing on here, sometimes perhaps fairly RE comments in papers etc. However, at least hes willing to do the thankless task and lets face it invest his own money.

If theres ever a time to try and start a new coach and player group, its now. This ludicrous 'super league' plan of his, another media fail. Realistically the plan should be to get anywhere near the top 4, Batley have proven you dont need huge financial backing to achieve this.

Good experienced coach is what we need, the players will follow. Time for wholesale changes, Fawcett must realise this. If the coach/team remains unchanged next year i wont be going down to CP.

Come on mate, I guess you know that's naïve to say the least. He's begging today for at least 100 season tickets to be bought now for the 2017 season to pay THIS MONTH'S WAGES! I for one won't be risking my money on one this time; Fawcett could bust the club before next season is anywhere near.

Statement from the club. The York game will be the last for March.
A new coach will be announced in two weeks time.
