Agreed.
To be fair Jim sounds more positive on his latest dvd interview on the club's twitter account. He talks about wanting to be in the play-offs rather than fighting relegation. Maybe he knows something about who we may be able to retain from the current squad.
On another subject with Wrexham failing to gain promotion , Bobby Grant may become available and could be another "Jim Bentley rehabilitation mission" ?

However if you read Red Passion the Wrexham forum they don't have a good word to say about him and he hasn't really fired in the National League.No doubt he will be available shortly and Jim will probably have a good idea if there are any issues and whether he has enough to still do a job at our level nowadays.

Hardly a prolific goal scorer. But only 28 years old. If Jim felt he could be another one whose career he can save, then great, but it would be another case of Jim working wonders...

Bobby Grant isn't an out and out striker.
he's more like Mandeville, Oats, and can play in a variety of attacking roles, Ive seen him play twice, and he wins a lot of free kicks aswell as winding the opposition up, very talented!

Yes , he mentioned a payment to us for his Leeds debut which he did make and various incremental payments based on future appearances.

Every player that signs for the club cites him as being the reason. The passion and the time he puts in is unquestionable.I am not saying he is faultless I am not saying he does not deserve challenging but I feel the fact his position is questioned actually embarrassing.
