Last season ended less than a fortnight ago. There's plenty of time to get a new manager in, do some transfer business and have a good pre-season with the new look squad.
Sure, maybe. But if in two weeks' time there's been no manager announced, and Young is off to United, and Downing is starting negotiations with other clubs, this place will be chaos.
I wouldn't get the razor blades out just yet. We all know Young will go,for that reason I think Downing won't be sold. Friedel should be replaced,we may get someone better than NRC,the rest won't be missed.Whoever the new boss is,he'll have some money to spend so I don't think its time to piss our pants just yet.
The usual unflinching optimism is doing the rounds here, as happens every time there's change, but it's never been rewarded on the pitch,
