Yep, allows them to deny any responsibility if and when he is sacked, they can simply say they were allowing fans to voice their opinions.

"The duo have come to The Racecourse to make a success of Wrexham and while that won’t happen overnight, Dean Keates will have a far better chance of leading the Reds to promotion with more money to spend in the January transfer window". Richard Williams in today's leader.

The thought of that clown spending money on more rubbish in January makes me sick.

A bit strange stating the assumption that Dean Keates will have more money to spend in January- requires-
1.Keates to be kept on.
2.Keates to be allowed to spend
3.Deal to complete in time to inpact window.

I imagine there will be funds available separate form the takeover. Not sure how much but the online games plus what must be massive merch sales and the rescue package would provide funds for some transfers.

The fact the deal won't go through till mid Jan gives Keates the time to go for players unless he has specifically been told he cannot buy players (which i don't think he will be). Its what happens after the deal and again i don't think he will be sacked but i also do not believe he will be given a massive amount of additional funds.

Your reasoning is sound . But we are simply not good enough to do anything in what remains of this season. Even with a change of management and a few new players it is just not going to happen. We will finish somewhere mid table.

I disagree. 3 or 4 good signings in midfield and up front would propel us. The defence isn’t that bad. It’s by no means the best we’ve had at this level. Nowhere near but you find the attackers in this league aren’t that good either.

Four players with extensive football league experience and who aren’t on their way down would be ideal. Why would they come here? Why did Adam Rooney go to Salford...

I disagree. This team is so far off, and it will take more than 3 or 4 players to turn it around. When was the last time lower mid table no marks were turned into promotion contenders on the back of January recruitment?

The league isn’t as strong as it has been in the past. If we won back to back games (it has been done!) we’d move up a load of places.

If the present shower comprise our team on 1st Feb, the only way we’ll be leaving the league is through the trap door but 4 signings in the spine of the team will make a huge difference.

We just need to finish 7th to give ourselves the opportunity and we’re two points away from 7th.

I tend to agree AA. Clearly it's going to take more than signing a Scott Green or Mike Lake, but such is the quality ( or lack of it) of this league, that four or five decent signings to play in the middle and top of the pitch then it's all systems go, as long as.......Mr Keates is nowhere to be seen, or he has a road to Damascus moment where he ditches the shackles of Darlington and just goes for it. Stranger things have have happened.
