Quote ="ArthurClues"I don't think your assessment of all those players is correct, but like anything, it's a matter of opinion. I get the feeling you've been watching the club over a similar time frame to me, so you'll understand when I say that the type of clear out you are talking about would require Alf Davies level spending, not just in recruitment, but also compensation. Just can't be done under the salary cap as it stands. We're going to have to hope the new coach has a touch of Graham Murray about him. I genuinely rate some of the young players (I know you don't) and I think they, and some very selective recruit, are the only way out of the current mess.'"
all true and i certainly don't take a win or defeat the same way as 10/20/30 yrs ago - the trophy days were good but i.m still craving a bit more entertainment. and the recruitment over the last 10 yrs whether gh or ks hasn't been up to the preceding 10 ,. Some of the youngsters look good but does look like walkers initially pace had gone and have to hope newman doesn't break down again as he's our main strike player ,. The overseas players individually aren't the worst but as a group no one does anything outstanding , prior and martin were better when they arrived
