I allowed my assistant to take the friendlies as I wanted to focus on buying and selling players. I also got rid of a lot of backroom staf, and brought in resh, better replacements.

Paul was too old by far, I offered him a job as just GK Coach, didn't accept it

Getting on a bit and like Doig, not good enough
Our captain Chris Smith also left as did Lee Bullock, they just weren't good enough.

TRANSFERS IN
I have (so far) signed four players to plug the holes in the team
Ibby was released by Cardiff and I jumped at the chance to sign this promising midfielder
I signed the 26-year-old American Neal Kitson as Ingham isn't good enough a main goalie.
Joey's a good prospect for the future and I'm looking to exploit him
Another promising youngster in Mddleton
Our full-back area were pretty weak so we bolstered it with this loanee from Bolton
We were drawn against Doncaster in the League Cup, bye-bye cup run
Our board also pushed the academy up a notch
