Been given budget / funds by Jason for new players in January
Also said some players will be leaving.. Brown will be first one out the door in my opinion


I think we'd have to pay brown off.

Rhys Williams was only a 6 month loan. I'd hope we'd be able to keep him till end of the season.

I’d sooner pay Hope off
So Jason is providing funds in January???
So he has no intention of selling it before then eh
Tell you it’s all too secretive
Sabot try to raise funds in Africa or wherever for his off shore investments ( MFC ?) perchance
Something smells wrong

I think he has just returned from his loan in America, not sure what the difference in quality is but looks like he scored 15 in 31 for Sacramento so I'd certainly take him if available.

Know a few aren't too keen on Williams but I like him, enough to keep him until the end of the season if we have the chance.

In terms of departures, I think we can be certain that Derek may try to shift Brown. Looking at minutes played, Ross Millen and Max Taylor are on the lower end and I'd say a bit below standard.

And it has been this way for months! However, if Derek has the funds from Jason that has to be at least one hopeful sign.

So JW has released funds!! New funds, non repayable or more loans? Funds from Cup competitions included?
Ins and outs so let’s see what DA comes up with.

Till then these next run of games are pivotal, if we cannot pick up points now it will make things harder in the second half of the season.

A new striker who score goals, pretty please.

Trouble is most of the EFL want a striker who can score goals some like Michael Mellon would be ideal,i guess it will be quality loanees he's after.

Derek was certainly talking about getting loanees. It won't be one of RR's "experienced strikers" :lol:

The only problem I can see is that a loanee club may not want to loan out one of its younger strikers to a club currently in a relegation battle despite DA's record of success in the loan market.

I certainly hope that DA can find someone who will fit the bill but as suggested it all depends on the loanee clubs attitude when an option could be for a mid table or promotion chasing club in for the same player.

I'd be over the moon if we could do a deal with Salford for Cole (including the return of Dackers :o ) but somehow I can't see that happening either from Salford's or Cole's point of view.
