Ali McCann

Ali McCann has always been quality. Since the day he walked in. He’s just been given the chance to show consistency, would’ve been my main man in midfield for a long time now. Hard to show consistency when you’re in and out of the side. Some people just didn’t like that he wasn’t the complete midfielder (like we’ve ever had that anyway). Has been one of the best at his game in the division since last year imo. Stats have always backed it up.

Good way of telling is this. Name one bad game he’s had? I can’t think of any.

It definitely is, people were critical of Tom Clarke when he was captain here too and it's only after he left people recognised what we had.

For the record, I didn't think Browne was a bad captain a lot of what he did was underappreciated. I do stand by I think McCann is showing more in that role than Whiteman is.

I do also think there's more importance placed on captains than actual exists. If this were the early 20th century, have at it, captains picked the team back then. Now? At most they speak to the referee and exist as an focal point to look at. It's a largely symbolic role.

100% this.

Of that squad I would keep Thor, mads, McCann and Muti - the rest can either be sold or released

If there is a genuine interest in actually developing and improving the squad from upstairs then I'd consider offers for every player. No-one is irreplaceable and only a handful (e.g. those you name) actually might have some value on the transfer market. Whilst they're probably some of our more effective and exciting players none of them stand out so much that you couldn't go on without them if the money is right and well-used on improving the squad as a whole.

I doubt that there is any interest in improving the squad above and beyond the usual reactive / muddle along shiteshow of course.
 
The problem will be managing to persuade any half decent players to come to our club unless they are looking for a semi retirement home to eke out their final playing years. No one younger players with real ability and ambition would be daft enough to join us with the stagnation which has swallowed our Club.

plus our better players if they perform will end up over our maximum wages so you need to sell with 2 years or 18 months left on the contract to get maximum value.
