Almost there now with the squad and I am amazed at some of the negative comments /predictions .
Overall picture , a seemingly more professional set-up . Not sure if Adam is full-time or not but it's been suggested on here that he is .
Great move making the team midland based near motorway giving an improved recruitment area , also reduced travelling for players making signing for BUFC a more attractive proposition .
Three training sessions a week means improved performances and fitness .
Those harping on about Salfords wealth should count our blessing of £100k a year from Chestnuts , most teams in our league would be grateful for that .
Squad, so far it includes 3 players we have paid a fee for , and 3 players who at the commencement of last season were playing together in a League 2 team .
We have 3 strikers , one who reportedly turned down higher league club offers , another who runners up Kiddy was desperate to keep but was tempted to Boston , plus Gregg Smith . Add to that a promising England C midfielder and I think the basics are there for a great season . It looks that Chestnuts have given AM an acceptable budget to assemble a team .
Apart from Salford and York I see no other daunting treats , the other F/T teams will be no greater threat than part-timers NFU and Guiseley have been in the past . Third place is achievable .
I'm going to be cautious and predict a forth place finish . surely we will do better than 7th .
As for "just missing out " can be justified as acceptable beggars belief in my mind .
Time for fans , manager and players to pull together and get a successful show on the pitch .
