Both Crowhurst and Clifton have returned to their parent clubs. Interested if they are retained.

Think someone might have been a little premature! Might hear news soon?

Whittingham has signed. He got better under Mel playing further forward after a disappointing first half of the season.

That’s ten signed, of the wish list only Fernandez is outstanding, he missed a lot of the season but when fit , did make a difference in defence. He might be seeing what else is on offer.
We await with great interest the new arrivals .

All these signings are indeed great news, but the additions need to be really strong too, otherwise it could be another disappointing season...

But Mel personally coaches the penalty takers according to one interview lol
He’s not a magician mate, always so toxic.
It was a joke! Calm down.

and how good his pull is. As hasn't managed anywhere before, I still thought the plan was Mel would move upstairs to oversee things, or will he continue with the first team head coach/manager role seeing as the form turned around so much.

George Hunt and Teimouraz Vasagkasvili.
My view is these are two players that have shown Mel possible potential and will be given a chance especially in the pre season to justify their signing.
I like many supporters, are looking for the more established players who will be regulars next season. In the next few weeks the retained lists will be out and Mel’s contact might bring in what is required. Fingers crossed!!
