To be fair, the new players are a level above what I expected, if the out of contract players sign then the season might not be the disaster we've been expecting.

Mani and Joe signed would show ambition at least.

Sheron signing up for two years is the best bit of business so far, and massively surprised me, I thought he'd be away. I think mani staying will be dependent on a takeover, as a few people have mentioned, but still wouldn't be surprised if he moved on. He's at the age of one decent move left in him., but I'd love to see him stay.

With regard to M&J i think they is only one thing preventing them from signing for another club at the moment

Just the standard levels of disappointment then.

V hard to know about who we have in so far, none of them jump out as statement signings but will know more once we see them.

We have absolutely nothing going on in attack though which is worrying, I can’t think
Of a more inept front 3 than Folarin,Charman and Campbell

Also worried a lot is being expected of Miley who so far thee jury is very much out on, if Grayson can coach him to stay the right side of his man so he’s not booked every game that at least will be a start!

The jury is certainly not out on Miley imo, the lad is class and if they stay fit him and Sheron will be a terific midfield pairing. Agree if Mani and Joe go we need new faces up front.

Totally agree, miley is a fantastic player. Him and Sheron are the way forward.

I hope Miley does as well as people think he will, best chance of success for would be in the ‘Holohan’ role with Sheron and walker playing the role of shelton and feather in an optimistic scenario

I am not digging out Miley just not made my mind up yet, hopefully he’s as good as people say he is

Time will tell if he’s a prospect or a poser.
Bit early to tell at this stage, but the promise is there….see how he performs under our new manager.

Yes almost everyone we have could improve if played in a proper system that compliments of, hopefully we don’t play 5 at the back and 2 very defensive midfielders who can’t run on top of that…

We actually need a settled environment and patience…this constant apparent 6 month life span management wise is getting tedious and unproductive .
Can we try patience and having a common goal.
Let managers manage.

That's true. Also the best teams have continuity in the squad so it only gets tweaked each season and not completely wrecked.

Sometimes it seems there appears to be some time limit where success is expected and if nothing is forthcoming change occurs.
This may work in most walks of life but not in football.
Get an experienced manager and his coaches in ….then leave them to get on with it, they know the business, back them and be patient.
Take no notice of the loudest terrace gobshites ….as they get quite aroused being gobshites, unreasonable expectations from them is no guide to anything.
