You may be right numbers, but I truly hope you are wrong.. Our track record over the years in recruiting trialists isn't brilliant. It basically means they are players who havn't excelled enough to interest clubs into offering contracts based on their track record. If George is relying on trialists who he doesn't know much about, then its a worry.

Players who proved their worth last season won't be going to any club on trial.

"George's early efforts have ground to a halt.The club seems to have hit the buffers".
"Pre season starting with so many important team positions unfilled.So disappointing".
"George has def experienced some setbacks in his efforts to recruit a seriously good playing squad for the NLS".
"Still needed imo - Keeper - Defender - 2 midfielders - Striker (or 2). So 5/6 signings needed to create a fully balanced and competitive squad".
"With pre-season starting next week its not ideal"
"Our track record over the years in recruiting trialists isn't brilliant. It basically means they are players who havn't excelled enough to interest clubs into offering contracts based on their track record. If George is relying on trialists who he doesn't know much about, then its a worry".
"Players who proved their worth last season won't be going to any club on trial".
It certainly feels like "PANIC STATIONS" is coming very quickly unless "the Committee" pulls is finger out whilst George is away.
My hope is that when a bunch of our discardeds contracts end on 30th June (A weeks time) we will gain the pay budget to go into overdrive to get the 5/6 strong signings we desperately need.
Dont know why we cant have signed them up already without them actually drawing wages from us until after 1st July, but I am trying to find reasons for hope and to keep my finger off the panic button, but we do kick off against Sheppey in just 18 days, so thge finger must be wavering over it a bit now!

Don't think that 'cash in the bank' is the problem, oldboy.
With nearly 1,000 season tickets sold producing over £200k in readies.
Whatever the problem, it ain't looking great at the mo.

The problem is people think they know what’s going on but haven’t got a clue.

The problem is people think they know what’s going on but haven’t got a clue. Really ? What posts are you talking about ? All I have read are concerns that player signings have dried up. Given zero announcements from the club recently I should think thats a pretty reasonable presumption. Unless you know different of course.

It is with deep regret that the first official meeting of PANIC has been postponed due to Clarion housing wanting access to my property at 16.00.I apologise to all those that had no intention of turning up , thank you.
