Jags - not a serious scenario - but a genuine question

[brownblade]

Just for fun. The man has retired, but we'll assume he can be quickly match fit.

So right now (with things up in the air as they are), if he was keen... Would you sign him and parachute him into first team training this week?

 

[Tarqs]

Let's bring back Lee Sandford as well.

That's a separate poll.

 

[Classof85]

Heard Paul McGrath and Carl Tiler are available too

 

[shorehamview]

When we played Derby and he was there he was the best player on the pitch. Does this mean we should sign him? Not on your Nelly.

 

[CPB]

Can't believe I'm saying this but I'm going to take a leaf out of El Accounto's book.

Yes we are being massively held up in the process/progress this summer of squad recruitment.
But the time to worry probably isn't just yet. Ideally the takeover is concluded within the next week-2 weeks. Meaning there would be 3 weeks before the season starts to start bringing in targets.
And should this takeover happen the calibre of player will likely be higher that we can afford at this minute.

If all goes ahead and within a reasonable timescale then by the end of the window we will have a strong enough squad to compete within the top end of the table.
If it doesn't then we will likely have a squad that will not be.

The issue will be a bit like last season though, how many will be suffering from not being part of our pre-season program and fitness.
And how long will some take to settle in?
However the quality of the player and squad for this level should be competitive.

You didn't even tick 'long winded response'

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

I think I'd rather stick with Wes trying to catch the ball in the penalty area.

 

[Davalon]

I'm pretty sure Joe Shaw's statue would have done as well as some did last season

 

[Pintor75]

Tony Currie must still have his boots tucked away somewhere, can't believe how some on here live in the past!

 

[Brian Deane]

Ffs what next, bring back Billy "Fatlad" to lead the forrad line next season

 

[Jim Mcdonald]

Jags, Tongue, Brown, Paddy.

Should bring them all back so we should, restore the Crown Jewels and the glory days

 

[Nosworthys Throw]

WE WANT NYRON, WE WANT NYRON, WE WANT NYRON

quite catchy...

 

[brownblade]

Anyone getting annoyed may wish to read the title and description again.

 

[BladeByChoice]

I have a different, long winded response.

not heard to this for ages better than thinking about the question:

 

[FMBlade1]

£1k a week for emergency backup and for that to account for hours doing coaching and I wouldn't have a problem with that.

Pepe is 41!

 

[Hanauer]

Shame Joe Shaw is no longer with us.

 

[JJ Sefton]

Voted yes because why not.

That'd be a bargain to get him coaching too! Can I change my vote to Yes?!

 

[Russ]

Can he play in goal….?!!!

Not sure I would parachute him in. It’s always looked a bit dangerous to me that. I’d prefer he arrived by car like everyone else. Unless he could have red and white smoke coming out of his heels. That might look good.

 

[s20Blade]

Jags, Tongue, Brown, Paddy.

Should bring them all back so we should, restore the Crown Jewels and the glory days so they would

 

[Tezza1889]

This is a classic going backwards move, for a club that at this moment is going backwards very fast... 45k a week we paid him last time and he hardly played..

Didn't come back for the love..it's a No in case you're wondering.

 

[Champagneblade]

Instead of Grbic? Absolutely!

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Jags, Tongue, Brown, Paddy.

One question Jim, when we play Blackburn away will you be going to The Rovers?

 

[finlaytheblade]

I'm all for a bit of fun! but seriously he could come back in some coaching or
Fitness role . Is he wanting to stay in the game now he's retired that's key.

 

[Jim Mcdonald]

It depends if my ban is up so it does, last I heard my face was up behind the bar on the pub watch list as if I was some kind of criminal. It was all a bit of a misunderstanding, I didn’t mean to kill anyone so I didn’t.

 

[Kev Gee]

No.
I would rather spend the money on something more worthwhile.

Maybe sign a young player with potential from L1,2 or Conf.

I guess this (extremely fun) poll was to flush out the most desperate of forum members

17 votes for yes. Respect to you folk! Hopefully things aren't as bad as they might look for us.

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

Blimey, is this how desperate we've become ?. No offence Jags.

 

[VictoryBlade]

I think we need Joe Bolton at this time!
