Not one of Jimbos' finest moments signing him IMHO. It's at times like these you need your senior pros to step up and be counted, not go off sulking!

But can we afford these sort of players ?

At Crewe in their first game when we lost 6-0, I thought that neither of them were good enough to compete in League Two and nothing I have seen subsequently has changed this opinion. I don't like either of their attitudes on the pitch - Cranston showed that he has a dodgy mentality at Port Vale with a classic bit of stupidity - and Tutte's constant back-chat to referees could have got him into big trouble on countless occasions. I hope that Derek gets rid of both of them - but who would be daft enough to sign either of these men?

What petulance ? I must have missed that
DA isn't here to make friends. There was no grand entrance and there was no acknowledgement to the crowd at full time. He is here to do a professional job and I quite like how he goes about his business

A far too big a squad of 27 at least 10 if not more are not EFL2 standard and what is even more criminal in my eyes is that JB spent (some would argue wasted ) the entire budget leaving nothing for signings come January.
JB built a number of differing squads over the years that produced season after season nothing more than a fight against relegation a fight that DA has inherited and if we do go down the fault lies entirely with JB.
JB should have gone much sooner and no other club would have accepted such a dismal record.

Not sure how to link this to another topic but the above is from Berlin Wallers post on the Carlisle game thread.

How much of the inadequate budget do you think Jim should have saved?
Can you imagine the crap he'd have got if Aaron Collins had left and he'd said "well, I've saved some money for January"??? We offered Mandeville a contract but he went in to non-League because it was more money elsewhere. To save money for January, you have to have an adequate budget in the first place! Yes, the squad is probably too big, but in previous years, we've not had enough to put out a full team. There were many occasions in previous seasons where Jim had two or three players on the bench who weren't fit to come on, but were there to keep the opposition manager guessing. We've got a bigger squad because we've got players who are injury prone. Tutte is one of those. Wildig another. AJ a third. If all three are fit and performing to their best, they are excellent players, but we need back up because they often aren't. If Jim had a decent budget and squandered it, then fair enough but he's been patching a squad together out of nothing season after season.
Most people (Neil included) suggested that the poor league position was down to bad management, not poor squad. Now we've a new manager and it is suddenly the poor squad and you will continue to blame the ex-manager anyway.
I hope the owners stump up some cash in January and I still think there is enough in the squad to pull us clear, but it will be tight again. Then we can see Derek build for next year, hopefully as a League Two side again.

It's pretty clear he's worked out who's staying and going and he's got some serious cash to throw at it in the new year.
The question I ask is that given Jim's missed out on so many players over the last few years, where has the magic money tree come from?
I see Andy Kellett has just joined AFC Fylde. A man who he's coveted for ages. Strange.

Just wondering Supermarket Shrimp how you assert 'it's pretty clear he's got some serious cash...'. I've seen nothing to suggest that's the case, and I'm assuming we'll only get new players in if existing ones can be moved on/out on loan.
