Next Season

[ShotOnTarget]

If fans wanted to do something like that you are better off aiming to create a revenue generating asset which meant there could be regular contributions rather than just a one off that could achieve nothing.

Years ago (maybe 25) I floated the idea on here of a savings scheme that could be used in 5 years time or so to set up a supporters home (match day bar committee room, merchandise shop etc). I had seen (still do) these all over Bel/NL/Ger and they always appear to do well.

300 people putting aside £10 a month would generate £180k in 5 years.

Needless to say most of the responses were telling me why it wouldn't work.

Mike Wray and I both suggested similar schemes when we were on the Trust Board at different times without success. A Trust was the ideal vehicle to do this as it would have served to ring-fence the funds.

Mr Widdrington will sort the team out for next season if the BOD allows him to get on with the job.

That’s a bold statement, what actual evidence to you have to back it up? All I see is an incompetent clown who only secured safety with 90 minutes of the season left because another team lost. A clown the paid money for a striker he thinks is better than Tolaj but he’s barely given a kick to all season, and of course, laid down funds for his useless son.

I wouldn’t trust him with my granddaughters piggy bank let alone next seasons budget. For me, the sooner he fvcks off the better.

Can we stop saying "he thinks he's better than Tolaj". Of course he doesn't think that. Tolaj has scored goals in league 2. Corbett is occasionally covering left wing back. He might once have said something to try to be positive but managers do that all the time.

I think Corbett isn't great but he is technically good and players do improve. So maybe one for next season.

No, we can’t stop saying it. He came out with to justify spending precious budget on him, if he just said it but doesn’t actually think it, it makes him even more the charlatan.

It's a throwaway line that doesn't mean anything. Of course he doesn't believe it now, didn't believe it then, and probably didn't exactly say that anyway.

I disagree with you, Silas. It was his justification for spending a fee on a player and he was trying to convince us why. If he showed even a glimpse of potential and strikers instinct, I'd give him the benefit of doing but he has barely featured, which shows and says more about Tommy than Corbett.

I'm not sure what you mean by "he isn't great but he is technically good" . By my logic, being not great technically makes you poor.
I think he might need to drop down a level or two to find his feet again.

I think you're being disingenuous there Rob. Corbett is technically good in that his first touch is one of the best in the squad, perhaps only second to Barrett, and he keeps the ball under control well when dribbling and shoots accurately. We can all see that, can't we?

So he can receive the ball, dribble towards goal and shoot. The problem comes when he's required to do anything other than that, because he doesn't seem to understand how to combine with other players, or defend. If he can learn the above then he might be useful but I think it's more likely that everyone has already lost patience with him and he will be released.

All I mean is I think he's pretty ordinary but there are some reasons to believe he may not always be.

Do you think a 22 year old forward has no chance of improving?

With the right coaching of course he can, he just won’t get that coaching with us, clearly.

How sad, being so extremely personal and rude is your way of supporting the Shots ahead of Wembley?

Corbett should have been sent out on loan.... He's another u21 that's technically good but lacks the experience of senior football.

Sorry, I say it as I see it, not going to sugarcoat anything for fear of offending anyone.

You can support the club and not like the manager or the way he does things.
You also don't need to blindly support....Sometimes home truths need to be told.

I totally agree with you Steve but unfortunately some people accuse you of being a **** bag for doing so
