I know he has had interest, but I can categorically tell you the club would not sanction a small wage rise.

Wonder if season ticket sales are down on last season?

You have no idea how good his replacement is, none of us do.

Doubt we will ever know but did the club want rid?
Love the fact he is local and a fan and his fist pumps towards the home end struck a chord far more than Sadlers for example but was heca good coach?

Can you make a budget rumour thread then?

Surely rumours about the budget - which affect transfersā€¦ are allowed ?

Iā€™d rather have an experienced 1st team goalkeeping coach. Not the kids one from Cheltenham

Absolutely desperate :cry::cry::cry::cry:

I imagine so. Got that feeling from the general fanbase during the early bird and our form tailed off bigtime towards the end of that period

We also inexplicably reopened the early bird offer.

The extension of Sadlers contract must have resulted in hundreds of non renewals

On Dave Watson, I know he helped out with set pieces but was he really that good a coach? Evo went backwards under him. Jacko had a few good games true but I donā€™t think heā€™s quite a first choice league standard keeper yet. Of all the players and coaches weā€™ve allegedly offered miserly deals to only Knowles has been picked up by another club and then one in the national league. I donā€™t think itā€™s a case of penny pinching or budget cuts but rather the club offering realistic money. The.Conner Barrett signing shows our ambition and I think weā€™ll see a few good other good signings over the next couple of weeks.

Price increases would be the main reason for season ticket numbers being down .

Just because heā€™s from the Cheltenham academy, doesnā€™t mean heā€™s not experienced in his line of work.

Tbf i dont think coaching is Watsonā€™s best role, both goalkeepers have struggled and conceded alot of goals this season. Maybe a role as set piece coach would be more suitable.

A new GK coach implies we are actually signing a Goalkeeper so positive news.

Ffs. It means heā€™s not an experienced 1st team goalkeeping coach

Cant you just admit for one that if something is poor. Itā€™s poor

Said all along that I will judge things after the first 5 signings. Sorry Exile off topic.
ā€¦would also agree that there have been no major improvements in goalkeepers of lateā€¦we managed to wreck Evans.

Definitely

Ok. Iā€™ll say it. As a goalkeeping coach Watson did nothing whatsoever to improve our keepers.
Didnā€™t do his job.
