We must hope that DK has learned something and will do better; sooner rather than later!

We signed players from Chelmsford, Dulwich Hamlet, CQN and Airdrie. There is a reason they were all playing at that level well into their 20s and it isn't because they are late bloomers, it's because they're shit. We are Wrexham AFC, I'm fed up with bargain basement cast offs and we deserve better.

I brought this up numerous times pre-season and was ridiculed for being negative .

When Fondop was under contract he was on £800 a week rising to £900 Once he scored more than 10 goals.

Thats probably why they dropped him then within five games then. Thought shit were going to have to pay him £100 more a week.

Who are our scouts at the moment that have seen us signing this players who are nowhere near good enough?

The one thing for me that stunk this close season was the Grant situation. How is it a player is allowed to engage a contract option for two years? How did this come to pass on a player clearly not good enough in the time here before?
