Nice to see Inchy making long-term plans for the squad.
With him in charge we'll get stronger every season. 💪

Can't help reading these without thinking, "just stop talking, Adrian. Just stop talking."

No wonder the local press liked him - must have been the easiest copy they ever got.

“I have made enquiries about him and he is a player I’ve shown interest in. I need to bring a striker in for the start of the season because Andy Cooke will be suspended and I need someone to partner Paul Barnes."

Was this normal, signing a striker, transfer fee plus wages, because one of your strikers were suspended for a couple of games? Seems a big outlay of money for something so trivial.

Not normal at all, one of the most naive of managers. He was OK with John Ward there but the wheels came off when he left.
