    Hopefully whilst we have some peace, what is the general consensus around the positions and number of players we'll be looking to bring in? My assumption (pessimist in my view) is we'll land with something around the £450-550k from gate receipts, prize money and tv money. 

    I reckon from that it is probably worth 5 or 6 decent quality players over half a season (if we are going all in on survival and based upon who's left so far) between loans and free/nominal transfers. We absolutely need to address LB and RB given the lack of cover and general weakness in those areas. With Brown mentioning additional firepower up top, my guess is a strike partner for Dowds and maybe a wide man and an attacking mid? 

    Hopefully that would let Bryden get out on loan for some much needed game time and confidence.  

    Full back that could cover both right and left back, centre half, centre mid and striker.  Ahui back to Lincoln and Bryden out on loan.  That would be an ideal January for me.

    Rocco Vata on loan potentially? Highly rated midfielder at Celtic, being linked with Serie A clubs as he's out of contract this summer. Would probably go straight into the starting 11. Far more likely to happen than some names I've seen some Celtic fans saying should come to us like Forrest and Johnston.

    Mitchell Frame for Celtic could be a shout, young left back who has been in and around first team squad for Celtic, made his debut v Feyenoord and is from Ayrshire I think.  With Brown knowing Strachan quite well and him at Dundee, wonder if my suggestion of Cammy Kerr might come off.

    There's an electronic ticketing system? There is no advantage to anyone for the club to understate the crowd?

    You skim 300 odd a game for 18 games a season, that's a lot of wonga not going to the tax man.  It's been said for a good few seasons now the attendance figure hasn't matched what the crowds have looked like.

    In a 24 team league with some decent sized clubs in there.
    Barnsley, Derby, Bolton, Blackpool, Wigan, Charlton - all with hefty budgets.

    Also Wycombe and Reading, two teams we've had midfielders from this season, so it's not like he would be working with a level of player he's never seen.

    Fleetwoods average attendance is around 3000-3500 so only about 1000 up on us and I would imagine that is lifted by healthy away supports.  Like you say, doing that in that league with those teams mentioned isn't the worst job in the world.

    If they’re moving that quickly then I’d say it’s more likely to be Brown or Courts. 

    Yeah I was thinking that, to be fair I would be happy enough with either 2, think Bowyer would be more short term.

    On balance I'd prefer to hear news of at least a couple of signings - the new head coach will arrive in time.

    Maybe a reason they're trying to get someone in quickly is to assess the squad (HA) and they can have a say in what positions they feel need strengthened etc.
