So like last season what are your hopes for this season? last year most wanted us to finish top 10 and playoffs as a bonus. Well the boys delivered on that falling at the last hurdle but gave us another entertaining season.
This year compared to last the vibe around the team and more importantly Ian seems very up beat and no doom and gloom like last year.
Those expecting and waiting for the big money wow signing are going to have a long wait and personally i think that is down to Ian's believe that the squad would not operate with some over inflated ego's in the team.
The myth that wages are a problem is mostly untrue now, while we will never pay the silly amounts on offer from the likes of forest and leeds and rovers etc who would have thought 4 years ago we would be paying players 15k a week plus performance bonus.
Plus just look at the ones that turned us down because of wages have they gone on to bigger and better things? in most cases the answer is no, they have increased there bank balance but thats it, so where they right for us in the first place.
This really is the year we have to go up and personally in 2nd place will do first would be nice but second will do, the simple reason being that other 60% of the squad contracts come to a end when this new season finishes and keeping the one you need to if you have just gone up is going to be a lot easier.
I have a really good feeling about the season ahead we have a settled squad and if ollie gets the few he wants I really think we can do it. I look at it this way win 30 games and your up.
so for me its 2nd place please Ian and the boys 1st is a bonus
