Sometimes, the players considered not to be 'class' can be all the difference.

You need a mix of people, those with skills - battlers - raw talent/promise. Most importantly you need a manager who can judge those strengths, understand how to incorporate them and when.

We need to get busy but really do we want those responsible for such poor recruitment last summer to be responsible again ? I personally think not , in an ideal situation the sale of the club can be completed asap then a plan in place and a manager appointed then recruitment on the playing front.  

That's easy don't you think , sorry this is NCFC its never easy . Depressed

McSheffrey & Niall Canavan have been released by Scunthorpe. 2 players we could build a squad around. Good attitudes. Better than what we gave now. Hope you are reading this Mrs Trew!

Canavan wouldn't be a bad signing, but I have a feeling he will go to Rochdale where he played out the end of the season. McSheffrey will probably be looking for somewhere that will offer him a 2 year deal as he will be 34 at the start of the season.

James norwood I think his name is, the Tranmere striker has scored 21 this season! And scunny have released Sean McAlister, not seen him play but he's played a lot for them

Nobody. If left to Branston and the Trews we will be relegated. 

Rumours of the Mansfield situation, arise fears of footballing debts not being paid  and the real risk of a transfer embargo.

According to the Mansfield chairman we already are under a transfer embargo. Even if we weren't, we'd have major difficulty attracting players.

The club needs to be rebuilt from the bottom up. If nothing changes soon, our only realistic objective for next season will be to escape relegation.

when we come out of this embargo I wouldn't get my hopes up branston will jus sign more c*** then last season so who really cares

Frankly it doesn't matter does it? The players we've got have shown that they're more than capable to put in good performances and get good results when things are tickety-boo - Mark Cooper was able to get a few good results, likewise with the likes of Moniz and even Fullarton was able to get a few wins on board. But once safety was assured, their heads dropped, and on the final game of the season, where I would bet that the players knew that Cooper was to leave, they just didn't turn up.

Let's face it, we could bring Messi and Ronaldo to Meadow Lane, and within a couple of weeks they'd be playing like amateurs because the toxicity of Meadow Chernobylane will have caught up with them and crushed their spirits to dust.

The best signing the club could make is STABILITY. Once that's there, I would bet that the current crop would actually play to their full potential.

I agree with @Joe Jones and his well written response.

Whilst I agree with stability, a back 4 of Hewitt, Hollis, Edwards and Adams will be just as bad as they were this year. Even a double decker of happy pills shipped from Download festival wouldn't increase their performances.

I'm normally not a supporter of drastic overhauls, but that back four needs replacing. We don't have any decent defensive players in midfield either, the goals against column tells its own story. That's the first and most important job for our new manager.
