We have a few young players who have been signed with the idea that they have the ability to improve, to play in the division we aspire to play in.
If they aren’t good enough to do that then our business model is going to fail.
So you’d better hope that the likes of Devlin, Swanson, Lane etc are going to come good and rise to the challenge. If you reckon we’re going to be spending millions on oven ready players in the Championship, I think you’re going to have a great big fat fucking surprise!
I believe JM got McIntyre with a view to him playing alongside Poole next season. He already has championship experience with Reading.

I think the club should be trying to tight down Pack, Morrell, Swanson, Rafferty, Raggett and Ogilvie on new Two year deals.
And Macey should be offered a new one year deal.
I would also be looking to extend the contracts of Shaughnessy and Yengi..... And maybe Poole depending on his return to action.
According to The Snooze today we can add Evans, Vincent, Dockerill, Jewitt-White and Mnoga to that list.
That's 15 players out of contract this Summer.
We’re going to shed a few. The step up in class will see to that.

Raggett could be a very popular free agent and get himself a very good pay day for moving, would be a great signing for most league one clubs.
On the other hand, there are plenty playing in the champ who we write off as fans. Particularly the centre half who we wrote off as useless but has got promoted and plays most weeks in the champ
Who was the centre half? The only one I can think of finished bottom of the Championship in their first season and managed to work a questionable move to a club where he is little more than a bench warmer.
