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?

More concerning with Oswell was why we brought him in carrying a bad injury which require surgery. Wasn't this picked up in a medical.

Which is absolutely incredible, if true. Guessing JBB and Chambers were the players, given where we signed them from.

Who ever is in charge of recruitment needs to be held to account; if it was BH it is no surprise he had to go. Makes Keates' job a massive challenge trying to stay in the NL with players not up to the Evo-stik or whatever the 8th tier is.

Chambers was rated at Dulwich Hamlets in Conference South, so I doubt it would be him. Mcintosh maybe.

we can not spend money we have not got, No rich man is going to come in and give us a shed load of cash,

It doesn't take much to work out we couldn't afford Rowe.

This is the problem... the WST want just that. They don't seem to get that people with cash or not going to hand it over to this board to waste. They really don't get how things work in the business world. They believe they do but they don't hence our perilous position and decline.

Maybe so, but I remember people salivating over BOPB. Asking why we hadn’t signed him up already after 45 minutes of a pre season game.

Mark Harris was lauded as way better than this level
