Page 47 of Deal or no Deal. 9 weeks to season start. 1 signing. We're domed I tell ya.

It's beginning to look that way. Almost a month since our last win.
Not conceded though which is a silver lining at least.

Or scored. BWFC-I must be delighted.

That it's going to lose its mind
Be more kind, my friends, try to be more kind.

So, we couldn't get an upgrade on Santos? This does not bode well for next season.

And now his future's secured, he'll revert to being that shithouse that first turned up from non league.

He's been sent off more times than he's scored. Div 2 here we come.

We should give him Christmas presents at end of July, because he doesn't start playing until Jan.

First piece of genuine pessimism from me. The new youth coaching appointments are 100% not what the club needed to move forward.

No new ideas and no new standards being set. Absolutely the cheapest possible way to do things.

I mean look we are obviously going to win the league next season but it’s all pointless since none of us will be able to bloody afford to go and watch it. Be re mortgaging just for the fuel to get there……

On the bright side, Rishi has given us all £400. That'll get you a pie next season.

Evatt said, “Recruitment is really progressing nicely,” remarked Evatt. “We have already got some done but we’re not quite ready to announce them yet." Evatt out.

It's hard to be pessimistic when I read this!

It'll probably take a few years at least to shake your Jonah curse off though.

Thought similar. I can only imagine that Evatt's lined them up as his own apparatchiks, so to speak, and they'll coach the kids in line with the manager's instructions, because yeah, otherwise I can't see what they'll bring either.
