I remember reading the Telegraph report around the 16th April where DON stated that they were very close to sorting out new contracts for JB and JC. Of course this has yet to materialise but nothing surprises me with him in charge, the guy is quite clearly not upto the job and should step aside for somebody else who has the relevant competencies to run the club for the fans.

I think that the uncertainty surrounding the club at the minute may harm our chances of recruiting the players that are required to help the club push on up the league. We had a real chance of getting into the play-offs last season however it seems that the team involved in this is being disected piece by piece. Budgets have been agreed but it seems that the budget is somewhere distant from the reality of a league 2 budget. This really limits our chances of being able to attract a good quality of players. We are going to received an extra £75,000 from the football league due to the new agreement with the Premier Leage. Why is this not being incorporated into JC's budget? This may give him a little bit more freedom in the transfer market to keep the players that we have or to sign better players.

The issue with Bobby Grant seems crazy as well, he was waiting for a contract offer for a number of months and by all accounts didn't receive an offer till Scunthorpe were sniffing around. He was willing to sign up on a two year contract by all accounts which would have meant there wouldnt have been any messing around with tribunals etc. The trouble with the situation now is that the money received will be around 6 months down the line when it is too late. Contingencies need putting into place so that this is never repeated ie give players longer contracts so that they have security and we are able to command decent fees for any that want to leave.

All these episodes show that the management never seem to learn from past mistakes so until the relevant people either sort themselves out or step aside then the club can never move forward.
