The club was already in discussions with Etete at Cardiff.......Sanctioned by Chris Markham. Schumacher had no imput in the three days until the season closed.
He will have a say on who he brings in this season but that job is mainly down to Fergal Harkin who we have head hunted from Standard Leige
Wrexham are turgid and will be so again next season yet Parkinson gets a tune, Stockport did the double over us and to be fair hammered us both games, i hope they go up.
Mansfield started well, but once they had a couple of injuries especially up front struggled......Rinse and repeat expected...
If both Cardiff and Luton start with their same squad i would agree.........Cardiff are this years basket case and Luton will most certainly clear all major earners out of the club.
I expect major cutbacks from both teams though i expect Luton to still be strong.
Plymouth should be looking at...
I do not think anyone stands out as clear fav this season......Anyone of 15 teams will fancy promotion
At the bottom again it will be close .
Interesting pre-season ahead
Very true, for what its worth you are a long way ahead of Cardiff.......Can see you re-building this season with the last of your parachute money........All your high earners will be released you cannot afford new contracts on current wages.
Interesting pre-season and 12 months ahead
I think you are missing my point along with one or two more.....He may well be improving year on year, you are going a bit ott with the three players above
99.9% certain he will get nowhere near any of those.
My point is clubs will simply not pay what a player is worth never mind double when...
I think you have more than enough to bounce straight back up......Ali and Aasgard will be on decent lge1 salaries but they are not your problem. That lies with your former premier league players who are on crazy wages for league 1
We have released two keepers Today.....Joel Coleman who will at best get a lge2 gig and Nathen Baxter who on his day is as good as anything in lge1......Not had a day since Evatt went but someone will get a decent keeper
Stansfield has never played for Exeter as a Exeter player......only on loan
Not in anyway having a go at Exeter they have produced many good players.........I am saying Luton will not double their money on a player who is his mid 20s and has had one season split between Exeter and Relegated Luton
Retain list.....Murphy, Matete, and Etete return to parent clubs
We Have also released Coleman and Baxter both keepers and Santos and Jones
Baxter and Santos give the ghost up once Evatt went......Jones was never fast but lost half a yard when he got injured playing for Australia last...
He is Hardly Ian Wright or Jamie Vardy............They are not doubling their money on a player who is in their mid 20s and played one season in league football
They indeed was woeful, but signed some decent players last pre-season
I also think Charlton have been and again may get to the championship........And i also apply that to Bolton this season
Stansfield was never a Exeter player. Many players as good if not better than Stansfield who have played in lge 1/2 in recent times......We even had two play for us valued at more than Stansfield but at no stage were they Bolton players.
I think you could easily get promotion next season..........Then what?? your turnover will be down by 50% and your wage bill will kill you
The way you previously went up the leagues is the only way you can thrive again.
Your fans maybe better use to lower league football for the foreseeable.
A little surprised you are so behind with your view of lge1...It was not that long that you played in this league.....The fact that you are now in the last year of parachute money should set alarm bells ringing. Anyone with more than a twelve month contract you will be desperate to move on...
