Personally, I can't imagine the Isle of Man League would be attractive to him.

It's probably wishful thinking but Andy Whing does talk about Spence taking part in pre-season training.

Notts County have already announced that Spence will be signing during the summer.
Daddy Wild will have to be content with Farman for now.

Thought he might do a Whitfield and hold out for a lower end League One club but Fleetwood does make sense obviously with Wild there

No. It's the end of the two year cycle for a number of our squad. Time to rebuild and refresh, Whing is in a great position where he has time to assess what he already has signed up for next season and can then target players he wants to build a squad of his making.

Well it’s a discussion for the end of the season I suppose but I’m not sure I believe in cycles.

It’s league two football. Most at this level have a rebuild every two years. It’s a lot to do with players wanting to maximise there worth and getting a better deal either with their present club or elsewhere or if they haven’t performed released by their current club.

Far from a done deal but he is on their wanted list as I’m sure he is at a few other clubs too.
A very good player when he believes in himself and wants to be, still not convinced he always gives it his all, but he’s not on his own there.
If that’s it I wish him well.

The thing about a “cycle” is that however appropriate the word might sound, by definition it implies that by the end of it, you will have returned to the point from where the cycle initiated.

So literally it means that as far as our squad is concerned we are back at the point where we were when Wild took over. That was not a nice place. I would not think it would be a cause for great optimism if true.

As I say it goes to the heart of what has happened to the club this season and where it leaves us. Good end of season debate.

Squad size wise we wont be much better off from when Wild took over. He made nine signings in his first window and a few for the "B" team. I would imagine Whing will make a similar number in the summer with quite a number on either two year deals or one year with an option to a second. And so the two year cycle begins again.
