So we're heading into the summer transfer window and where are we at?
This season has been a parade it was always going to be. It's a shocking league and we have four or five really good players.
Huge credit due to Martin Russell for the manner of it though. The Great Entertainers in most of our home games which is important for the club. Can you imagine if this was a Pat Scully team with the same gulf in class?? We'd be four points clear with 9 wins, 7 of them 1 - 0.
So the league is wrapped up.
So we should be using the rest of the season to get ready for an assault on the Premier next year.
Crowds have been above all expectations. Russell should be given the budget now to bring in most of his squad for next year so as to hit the ground running. Our key players should all be being tied down this month for next year.
We're walking the league and it's great fun. But let's face it lads there's seven or eight players in our first team squad that would have no business in a team challenging at the top half of the Premier.
Which is where we should be next year. You could count the decent teams in the Premier on the fingers of one hand.
Now is the time to push on.
The longer the summer goes on with no new contracts and no new signings the more worried we should all be. The longer the summer goes on with no sign of the much whispered new investors the more worried we should all be.
All the laughing this year and the chairman gets a sandwich he doesn't like some day in the new year or spills beans down one of his suits, gets a huff and we are back where we were at the start of 2015.
Hopefully I am talking rubbish and everything is sorted by the time we wrap up the league the end of August. But if not times could be interesting again.
On an aside Martin Russell is absolutely the ideal man for that cluster**** in shamrock rovers. Past evidence suggests they haven't the brains to go for him but might be a space worth watching.
