Not that fussed about the player comings and goings.Think we need a virtual clean sweep and a fresh start anyway.A new outlook.We should be looking to recruit players willing to commit to the club and that are good characters.Otherwise there will remain little connection between players and supporters with the current revolving door policy.

Agree with the above except for the last sentence. “Revolving door policy” is a bit harsh. Players come and go at our level unless a club has a budget that can support multiple players on full contracts. We don’t have that type of budget - and won’t unless as many of us as possible renew our season tickets and ETFCSS membership ASAP, so the club can budget sensibly. As “owner-supporters” and with sponsorship income having been decimated during the pandemic, supporter contributions (both financial and voluntary) are going to be absolutely key to the type and quality of squad the management team can assemble for 2021-2022.

With that in mind, I’m keen to hear that the management team have been finalised, because that will drive player comings and goings. “Who is (or should be) the 2021-2022 management team?” needs a separate thread .......

I think we will end up with a similar squad to pre virus as I cannot see loads more people coming to our games which will swell the coffers. All clubs will no doubt be in the same position.
