Re: Rock Bottom - so how do we get out of it?

There needs to be a clear out as much as there can be. Pay off some contracts. See if any National league clubs may want to take a chance on some. Yeah probably not

Re: Mike Garlick

I think Downes is definite to go, unsure about Pell. He's the type of player Cotterill usually likes for his dressing room experience. No he needs to go. Injured for a year. First game back starting and he gets 2 yellows. He's an idiot. We can't have hangers in because he will miss more games. Time...

Drifting off topic I wonder which will get built first ( or ever), FGR's new stadium or a shiny new main stand at CTFC. Pure speculation but I would guess FGR ground as it's clearly a pet project for Stale Mince. I can't see our new main stand for at least three years probably closer to five given ...
