Are we really taking our cues from Sky commentators now? I have no idea about Aydin’s future but I’m pretty sure O’conner doesn’t either. The Sky pundits are well known for picking up gossip on these forums and repeating them verbatim.

Every year we do this, why not wait and see it’s not like we can do owt about it. Players come and go and the occasional good Trinity teams tend to come from nowhere.

I was watching Gale yesterday and if that rumours true I’d be delighted. He’s got years in him yet and a club like ours would suit him fine, Finn mark two. No idea if it’s true though.

I look forward to next season purely because we have nothing to lose. As we are we will eventually be relegated. If we tear up the rule book who knows, poop or bust. It’s the Trinity way!

The belief is Aydin is going to Leeds. Given O’Connor’s son plays for them he quite possible has some info from there.

As for Gale i don’t know who you were watching last night but the one i was seeing was way off the pace, like he has been all season. A couple of badly dropped grubbers by us does not make a good performance for me. It would be more akin to the Brough signing.

But you do know the reason, money! We got outbid it’s that simple. I’m not MC but he has always been clear he will not spend what we don’t have. We can’t have it both ways.

Also we’ve had five seasons from Batch so I think we got our monies worth.

Your defence of the board is admirable if not surprising with numerous posts especially the sudden decision based on one game that Gale would be good for us and strangely you feel for at least two years. I get the impression you are paving the way for an announcement by suggesting he his something he was a few seasons ago but is no more, a player who would improve the squad. I expect even you struggled with this logic.
With regards Batchelor let’s face it based on recent seasons any club is bigger than us and we had until the first of May to try to sign him to a new deal. I expect he would not move for less but did we try because I am still uncertain if we even spoke to him for the reasons I have stated previously.
What I find really worrying is your (I say your) view that we face another season of penny pinching on the squad but you are correct this is the decision of MC not the coach.
We must have lots of money in the budget for next season do you have anymore players YOU ? feel we need to sign.
The bottom line is based on your unique position that once again if we dodge relegation this season we can expect the same if not worse next. I would hope that the club would think the supporters deserve better and we have been given another opportunity to sort things out but it looks like they believe we will accept anything because they saved the club. I guess some will but also many will not and another struggling season in a time of financial crisis will not generate enough new supporters to replace those who have had enough and walked away from the game and the club.

I wish you'd mentioned all this before.

Feels like the worst kept secret has finally been confirmed. Good look to the lad, he’s played admirably for most of the season.

PB you've been around the game long enough to know that sometimes a player just wants to go. It may be nothing to do with us. Somebody may have got into his ear and not just his agent, when that happens you can negotiate only so long.

Tere is talent coming through but clearly there will be a time lag, unfortunate but that's how it goes.

We will see, what do you believe our strategy will be next season with regards the squad. We have always found it easier to offload players but much more difficult to find suitable replacements at the salary we are willing to pay.
I think it’s clear that next seasons squad will be the one MC wants not necessarily the coach.

I have no idea. As I am not Willie Poaching.
And as I don't think you are either, neither do you.
So it's not clear at all. HTH

I've no problem debating what we'd like, but to say 'it's clear' is just not true.

Less than what exactly?
Less than Rovers, well that can be assumed as he's accepted it
Less than he's already on, I doubt it
Less than he deserves....without knowing the number, none of us can say that.

Who to believe, you or MC? I doubt that Batchelor or his agent would allow MC to post figures that weren't true so I'll go with MC. DO you have an exact figure btw?

I also kept a close on on Gale. He is an aging player still thinking he has it in him. I dont see him everygame, but many Hull fans believe he has been a terrible signing. I am not that fussed about Miller leaving but Gale comming our way would be a backward step . I would hope we could do much better, even though we constantly hear we have no money.
