We've signed 3 signings in one day, with more expected tomorrow before pre-season starts. We've signed a Latvian international called Nauris Bulvitis, Jimmy Spencer from Cambridge and David Goodwillie who takes the accolade of being someone I've actually heard of.


Goodwillie been on the down ever since he left Scotland hasn't he

Colin Doyle from Blackpool? Sure, wasn't he available for £1.


Soz m8, but it isn't Doyle xx

We signed Chris Kirkland on a 12 month deal. Don't know what to make of this. We have already signed a decent enough keeper for L1 standards, and one of our best prospects in Jack Ruddy is probably going to be shifted away because of this. As a players/coach i wouldn't actually mind him but as a number 2 or even number 1?!?!

Signed Nicky Clark, who's been released by Rangers. Quite a decent player whenever i've seen him play so fairly happy with that!

Also in the papers that we're signing THREE more players on monday. One supposed to be another keeper.

Well, Gilks went to the Gers in the end but nevermind, since this day was actually really busy as we made THREE new signings.

First one was Ben Williams. Goalkeeper who joins us from Bradford. Also used to play for Carlisle, Colchester and Hibs. Reading on Twitter, the Bratfuddys actually quite liked him and they seem gutted about him leaving, so he might actually be the sort of solid keeper we used to wait for.

Second new signing is Zeli Ismail. Now this lad had more trips to league clubs than the average groundhopper on his way to the 92. Burton, Notts, MK Dons, Oxford, Cambridge, you name them, he was there. Quite pacey IIRC and Cambridge fans quite liked him so if he is fit and motivated, this might be a shrewd signing and one for the future, at 22.

Thir dnew signing is Niall Maher. Full back who has been released by Notlob. Also had a loan spell at Blackpool, so mayve Suffolk Seasider can shed some light on how good he is. But at 20 years of age, I don't expect him to be a world beater straight away.

I remain highly critical of Flickers and the board, but I believe we could have done worse than those who signed. Linked with Nicky Clark, who has been relased by Rangers and the club themselves said ther emight be some new faces coming in this wekend or start of next week, so might have just got the ball rolling

Linked with Matt Gilks in the papers today. Been looked at by various League One clubs and Rangers, so highly unlikely he will sign but at very last good to see Flickers has finally identified that we need solid, expereinced guy as our main stopper

Charlton at home for the first game, and Notlob away on easter. Not too bad, I suppose but we're going to lose both anyway. Fleetwood away on boxing day is gonna be a right fekking laugh isn't it? Probably getting blasted there just to make sure i survive this calamity of a fixture

He's...

Well, we signed him in 2009 as a central midfielder after being converted at Tranmere from centre-half. Now he's back to being a centre-half after Lee Clark realised he's as comfortable in possession of a football as someone with constipation is trying to shit a battleship. Good League One defender, but starting to knock on a bit. I'd always prefer Peter Clarke to him, tbh. He's also prone to being a bit of a nob on occasion, giving away daft free kicks and having a crap celebration. He'll be ideal for you to progress up the league, I'd have thought.


Actually sounds half-decent, so well fucking done Flickers! At the moment, nobody knows who is staying and who isn't, just rumours circling around that one of P.Clarke / Cameron, possibly even both might be on their way out but one shall wait and see. And appearantly we are signing someone on friday but we were signing 5 on monday aswell so it's all a reeeeeyyyt laugh up here.

STOP THE PRESS WE ACTUALLY SIGNED SOMEONE!

Antony Kay joins us from MK Dons. Vastly experienced Centre Half, but haven't seen him play recently. Just hope he doesn't replace Cameron or Peter Clarke.

Nobody cares about this shit competition anyway, crowds were shite anyway, so let the U21 teams play in it in front of 200 people, tell them to fuck off, and so be it.

The Ajose one is new. We need a big, strong striker, that much is for sure. We need another option beyond Nahki.


Which seems strange, because Ajose is neither.

In other strange news: Phil Parkinson has talking over at Notlob. Big of a step down from Bradford isn't it?

(rumours surrounding Bochum striker Simon Terodde refuse to go away, and linked with Nicky Ajose)


The former is moving to Stuttgart for 3 Mil and Swindon rejected 500k for the latter recently so don't know much they might want for him but not cheap though

Charlton appoint Russell Slade. NOw that might be a bit of an uninspiring appointment but they could have done a lot, lot worse than that because IF he is given full control of things there, I'd bet they will make the play-offs. (big if though)

Only Vale's and Oldham's managerial post still up for grabs. Read Shefki Kuqi and Paul Dickov are on Vale's shortlist and Iain Dowie has been linked with Oldham. Would all be dead funy appointments imo.

Oh and apparently, we are announcing four new signings on Monday. Surely not, but we all have hope

The whole situation at Notts is just as weird. Trew was refusing to pay Mansfield 20k for ticket sales so they were put a transfer embargo which is still not lifted I'm led to believe. Then they go all out and appoint someone like John Sheridan, who might a weird thundercunt, but still a pretty decent appointment for Notts (better than Moniz or Fullarton anyway). What does this say? Do they have some mega rich new owner in the pipelines? Is Trew going all out with the cash himself again? Clearly there must be something to motivate Shezdog to termine his contract at Oldham and join Notts. But what that might be, I'm yet to find out

John Sheridan is a weird, weird guy. The gift that keeps on giving. Leaves Oldham to manage Notts

Sums up why the play-off system is just so wrong. Birghton played a terrific season, were in it til the last day of the season, get unlucky in the first and second leg with injuries & missed chances and their whole season has collapsed. No disrespect to Wednesday who played a great season aswell, but I just feel for Brighton, having been in the very same position before with my club

Well, lower down the leagues, Nigel Adkins has just been sacked as manager of Sheff Utd.

They just confirmed it on SSN but no one has finished typing an article for me to link too yet!


You could smell that from half a mile that was going to happen ever since Wilder couldn't agree terms at Charlton

EDIT: Seems like Roberto has been sacked

Was Bigirimana not injured for quite some time? Armstrong should get the chance at least since I'm not gonna think Prem clubs will pay the big bucks for him just now. Vuckic was great at Rangers but hasn't quite cut it at Wigan

Half of all Championship teams are pissed off by their owners in some way so you'll fit right in. Also, you'll get to play a Rovrum side managed by Neil Warnock and a Forest side with Dougie Freedman on the touchline with the usual Championship shit-stirrers (Grayson, Mick, Jackett, Clough) being around so it's all gonna be a right fekkin laugh perhaps

Chances of Rafa leaving?

Can't really see him staying on standing in the dugout at fekking Burton. At least you avoid MK Dons and Notlob since they're our problem now
