Signs of progress at last.

Starting to feel very optimistic about the forthcoming season. Especially if the Mayor deal comes off.

Geddon Lowey.

Ipswich Town among clubs in discussions with Bury winger Mayor

TWTD has reported that the Blues are targeting the 28-year-old and we understand that some talks have taken place.

Mayor played a key role as the Shakers sealed automatic promotion from League Two last season - scoring eight goals and providing 11 assists - but is soon to be out of contract at the financially stricken club.

He spent yesterday at Plymouth, who have already appointed Bury's promotion winning boss Ryan Lowe. The chance to be reunited with his former boss could appeal, but the Pilgrims were relegated to League Two on the final day of last season.

Curtis Nelson has joined Cardiff on a free so we miss out on the sell on clause part of his deal.

Ipswich or L2 Argo.  Tough one.

Bury's Jay O'shea, who had been linked with us, has joined Brisbane Roar.

Looks like the Bury exodus to Argo may not be happening after all.

The pull of Lowe being the gaffer they know is our only advantage let's hope it means something to them.

Jamie Ness has signed for Dundee- should keep their physios busy for a while!

looks like even them are to good for for Argyle...proberly waiting for the real crap you know the ones nobody else wants and those that have been out injured for the previous season who ever they were with

Well lets hope Lowe doesn't have to scrape the barrel just before the season starts, like the dour Scot used to.

Beginning to look that way.  His 2 key targets from Bury have gone elsewhere.  Plan b next.  Then plan c.  Then it's borrow DA's little black book of rejects and crocks.  Don't think I can take yet another season of utter shit.

Would you as a player want to come here to play for the dour scot or Lowe given the choice?

It's clear that most of what rocked up here last year took Adams as a last resort , so its clear thats one reason why he lost the dressing room.

Pretty sure Lowe is shrewd enough not to sign dross for the sake of it like Adams did,

No need to bang on about it.

Do you know the real reasons why Derek Adams lost the dressing room  ??  It wasnt actually Adams per se but what Wotton was doing to players very aggressively and senior players went to Adams and said sort this out....Adams instead sided with Wotton the die was cast and the rest is history

Sounds like Lowe is starting to realise the enormity of his task here trying to entice players in. Am pretty sure he wont go down the Adams route and sign dross though and he'll go with what we've got using apprentices if required

Adams failed to get the players in because too much money was being diverted to the mankover. Has anything really changed yet? I don't think so.

I wonder where the extra half a million is coming from for the supporters bar. There must be investors nervous as hell over that notwithstanding managing to get relegated as well

You're clueless and so are the others who think like you. It's pretty obvious Hallett doesn't need to rob the playing budget to fund the mankover. He'd have to be a complete idiot to do so, since funding the squad is limited by turnover and the mankover isn't.

Have a look at the squad. If we sign some real quality then things have changed. I won't hold my breath.

Looks like Lowe is going down the freebie route.

Or as he himself says..''

Lowe told Plymouth Live: “The money we have got for Fred, I don’t know the full extent of it just yet.

“I’m not really too fussed what it was as long as it was good for the football club, which it was.

“I have got my own budget and I’m working to that. We are in a good spot with it, and if Simon (Hallett, Argyle’s owner/chairman) offers me any of that money then I will spend it.

“But, again, I ain’t going out to pay £150,000 or £200,000 for anyone, let’s put it that way.

“I ain’t just looking to spend a lot of money. I have got free transfer targets, and targets where we might have to spend a couple of quid maybe to get them out, with add-ons and sell-ons and all that.

“But I ain’t doing a Rotherham United and going to splash a lot of money on just one single player.”

This is the Fourth Division, FFS! Shirley we can get out of it without spending a fooking fortune.

Which makes sense , not worth spunking most if not all that cash on 1-2 players when It could pay for 5-6.

But still the words to the effect of raiding the free market is gonna rile the Hallett is cut from the same cloth as brent lot.

If this continues all this week with no further additions even the most optimistic green tint will start to wobble....need 3-4 this week

Absloute bollocks mate. What will rile the people that don't join in with the general baseless love in of Hallett will be if we carry on in the same vein as we have in the last seven years, watching as all our rivals sign players whilst we wait until the season start to cobble together a few loans and injured freebies. No one is asking that we spend millions what we are asking for is a squad that mirrors our level of support and as of today that hasn't happened.
Go look at our squad and ask realistically where you'd expect that squad to finish, my bet is the Vanarama.

Lets hope then Lowe is able to get on some freebies who can do a job.
