Well, what a strange season that was!
Since that play off final loss, things have not been good at all. At the time of writing the situation is desperate and as far as I can see, the club refuses to move forward until Williamson and McDonald decide where their futures lay. For me this is bad management, I do understand that the club wants to keep the players and doesn't want to put pressure on them...but we are now only about 5 weeks away from the start of the new season. I personally think they should be given an ultimatum because at this rate the the club will have no new players and a very restricted squad. I know they are good players, but are they that good that the club should standstill and just wait for them to make their minds up. I think the wait should be up because the club badly needs some new players to help build a team worthy of promotion, because at the moment I do not see the top two or top six for that matter as even a reasonable target. Its a sad state of affairs, and to make things worse McDonald didn't even turn up to training (i know he doesn't have too) but Williamson, so it shows a lack of commitment to the cause. In simple terms the situation needs sorting ASAP if anything is to be salvaged, I know this is a very pessimistic view and its still early but that fact is the squad needs some major work done to it. Like a goal scorer and a new right back as we don't seem to have a single one at the present and the strikers don't leave a lot to desired really.
The Cofie signing would be a boost of sorts, but will his heart really be in it. And more importantly will we actually sign him because the saga has been going on since Monday now. So yeah, we are just going to have to wait and see. I do hope I am mistaken and that things will come quickly but at the moment I just dont see it...
