Next Season Recruitment

[whitty1969]

I can’t see the argument of wanting Pennock out to be honest - look at the reception he had a week ago at the final whistle.

The bloke gets it, and IMHO he’s worked a miracle to keep this squad up. We should be doing whatever it takes within our budget to keep him and his coaching staff on board.

Totally agree Matty. He was asked to keep us up with a pile of shit. He did it....just
Its not good to continually change your Manager.
Back him and let's see what he can do....

Hold on; I wasn’t saying I wanted him out (I definitely don’t!) I was just asking if it had been officially decided if he was staying or not

Luke James under contract at FGR, but immediately available for transfer.

I would love it if we signed him. The type of player we want with lots of commitment and, with some decent players around him, who knows what we could achieve next season!!!!! He wants to be more Northern based too.
Where's that pen?

[Middleton Nick]

Would be a statement of intent if we did sign him.

[walney rock]

Would be a great addition!

[John_Bucks]

Absolute no brainer if we could get him. Saved our season and seemed to love playing for us. Money well spent there.

Every Southern based player or management has to move to the Manchester area & the Club pays their rent, What is a semi decent flat rent in Manc these days?? Round 6/700??

£25 a night in a hotel - to be paid by the players themselves. Sorted!

Dread to think what you’d get for that shudders

I think we can write the script now-Luke James will move on to another of our rivals in the north, and we will end up signing someone who couldn't even get in Morecambe's second string but, has bags of potential.

[Jonty]

What are we waiting for? Get him in now.

[BAFC_Lewis]

No signings as of yet.. really starting to fear for our future!

You can get medication for it, though.

2 other useful @ National level releasees from FGR:

Omar Bugiel, Lebanese German, great playing * in the hole position and pretty quick. Bit of a shame he's Worthing area based though. * (Preempting the rude comebacks.)

Manny Monthe, Cameroon, mid/defender, used at Wembley for promotion job. Bit more hopeful though, he did play for Southport, so maybe willing to venture a bit further north.

[McMark]

Luke James would be one heck of a statement!
Can't see us paying a fee for any player we bring in though. Even if FGR waved the fee he may also be beyond our budget.
I noticed Keanu Marsh-Brown is also available, if only he lived north of Crewe.
Sam Russell even at 35 would be more than a good aquisition to any squad.

Forget about Luke James, it aint going to happen-much as ide love it to. Last season it was Guiseley-next season its our turn IMO. Why would it/should it be any different to what I have just said ?.
