For me it’s that absolutely miserable stretch of form and results from about October to March and his flagrant panicking during that time, plus the need to replace so many players. That could conceivably prove to be a bit of a perfect storm. Hope not, obviously, but I’ve been surprised people have dismissed it out of hand. It’s as likely, imo, as us making the play offs. But how likely is either, do you think? Who knows? We should have a clearer picture when the window closes. As things stand we need 5-6 in just to stand still.

Sounds in his interview we are looking to court offers for one or two of our players?

Looking in Scotland at players? FFP is a reality Bayern, so not sure what he's meant to say. It’s an excuse. Didn't mean to give your reply the thumbs up . Talking about FFP and how it impacts our transfer/recruitment isn't an excuse, it's a reason for the difficulties we will face, along with most others in our division. Now whether he successfully manoeuvres the obstacles facing him/us is another matter entirely.

Sounds in his interview we are looking to court offers for one or two of our players? Can only think of Souttar - and that would be January at the earliest you'd think? We may get low millions for Bursik if the Bournemouth interest is real, and depending on his contract situation. As far as we know, he has 12 months left and doesn't seem to be trusted fully, so that one must be one to watch. I can't see anyone offering big money for Brown this summer. Maybe next if he kicks on again? Campbell - no chance. Tymon - very unlikely.

That interview sounds like bye bye to a couple to generate some money. One I think will be Bursik and the other I have a feeling may be Brown. I hope not in Brown's case but I think there will be quite a bit of interest in him.

Massive summer for him & the club, have to get the recruitment spot on, if we start poorly the fans will be on his back straight away, then if a change is needed mid season, we will have limited options..again. I hope to god he gets it right because if he doesn't we could end up in another relegation battle and be stuck with players we won't be able to shift immediately if they are not up to standard then that in turn could handicap any incoming manager if a change is needed.

Good to see him back and shut a few folk up on here Spoke sensibly as well You're shutting no one up. A repeat of last season- and Occam's razor says it will be- and he's toast.

He clearly puts greats great emphasis on being organised and I’m sure that makes him an effective manager. We often need a motivating leader though and he just doesn’t have that. He did better with players who were motivated by the pride and passion of playing for their country.

I just heard him say that the next 12 months will complete the financial re-balancing of the club. In other words we are still in the same situation as most of the clubs in the division and have no money to spend until we generate some cash. We need to be clever or lucky with our acquisitions and not wind up with them injured a la SIMA.

We need to be clever or lucky with our acquisitions and not wind up with them injured a la SIMA. But in a worse situation than very few. Surely that's the point? Can't see the point in mentioning it when the whole division, apart from a small number of parachute clubs are similarly handicapped, often to a greater degree.

Interesting first part. I hope the interviewer asks him what his thoughts are about the concerning number of points we have lost from winning positions and the pathetic number we gained from losing positions. This is the key, if he can figure out why and how to improve it then all may not be lost.

He's getting the excuses in early for more of the same crap.

It's the same for most clubs, bleating about it serves no purpose and shows his attitude up for what he is.

Someone on Twitter speculating Forrester isn't happy. I've been told MON barely speaks to him so that wouldn't be out of the question? But how much would we get for him? Not much.

Oh well, plenty of things to do on a Saturday afternoon that are more rewarding Stunned the idiot is still in a job and as for trusting him to spend money, good God no please. Thoroughly depressing he has the nerve to sit there and talk about goings on. Joke of a club with clowns running it.

I think you hit on something there being playing for your country shouldn’t need motivation whereas at club level it’s crucial to success.

I love how some continue to defend him to the hilt especially whiist still fresh in the mind the Coventry performance, when a team that finished 10th took us to the cleaners and made us look like a pub side first half. I was sat with a Coventry fan and was embarrassed.

Sounds in his interview we are looking to court offers for one or two of our players? How some people put a negative spin on interview comments. He didn’t allude to that at all. All he said was if an offer came in it would have match what the clubs valuation of the player was. Its no different for any club including any in the top 6 of the EPL. It’s certainly never been any different since I’ve supported SCFC unless there’s be catastrophic behind the scenes issue like the roof blowing off Butler Street

Just my opinion which is not negative but merely alluding to how he made his comments.
