There are still rumours surrounding 2 or 3 clubs in the leagues above and their financial states. I think the only way now we will be in Championship next year is if 2 or more clubs have a significant "insolvency event". But that's not the way anyone would want to gain promotion. We've been there, over the last 5yrs, and I wouldn't wish it on any other clubs.

I would agree but that said, if clubs did become insolvent it would be very unfair to ask a League 1 club who were preparing for life in League one (sold season tickets and signed contracts on that basis) to step up and fill a space?

At least this was Rim-Jobs suggestion at the fans forum. Imagine the consequences if that actually transpired after all. I couldn't imagine the thought that a "professional" board member could even contemplate such an idea, especially with a 10,000 document spelling out the rules very clearly, let alone all the eyes that are on us looking for favours being dished out.

Completely out of the question me thinks

Well at the moment we need some tough forwards so that the young lads don't get bullied like last year.

At the moment the squad lacks grunt. We've no Murray/Oledzki/Moore/Larroyer or Sironen which leaves a gap in terms of size, experience and mongrel.

I'm in 100% agreement with that. It's something which needs to be addressed asap - we can't go into another season in the same way we did the last. I appreciate we still have a couple of months before the new season but I hope minds are addressing that aspect of recruitment right now, even if the signings aren't announced until later.

It's a bit like when you're watching a film on telly. The people playing the leading parts are all different, but suddenly, you get this feeling that you've seen the plot before. And you can remember how it ends, so you turn off before it spoils your night's sleep..

Nah, I think the rfl are more at fault for that than we are.
