I’ve a good mind not to condone this shitely run club and not get a season ticket. Even if we do sign some decent players we’re not getting enough strength in depth to sustain a full season. We are simply going nowhere unless we can get a Moyes or a Davies and a big lump of luck. That isn’t going to happen with ridsdale as he’s incompetent.

So we’re screwed.

Moyes and Davies were unproven assistants when they were each promoted to manager by Bryan Gray and Derek Shaw respectively.

You're saying Ridsdale is incompetent for not sacking Heckingbottom this summer, and appointing Stuart McCall as manager instead?!

Says the guy who thinks it's unfair for PNE to be compared to former League 2, homeless, bankrupt Coventry City now that they've shown up your Ridsdale's incompetence by showing what can be done without parachute payments, but with gradual investment in both players and academy set up via player trading.

The way you Ridsdale talks fondly about the Howard Wilkinson's management being relevant and of Coventry's "modern day" FA Cup final appearances and Premier League status, I do wonder if age is starting to catch up with you him? You're He's not as sharp as you he used to be, and there's a definite blurring of the past three decades...

Time to retire.

I was led to believe he still wants to play, thats why he stepped back from first team coach role around January time. Think he'll probably seek out another 12 months elsewhere as a player and then take up a coaching role (here or elsewhere).

Especially after the potential career ender injury he had (was it his neck or back?), probably wants to play as long as he can

I liked Ched. Be good to see him play for someone else though. To be fair he has missed a fair chunk of his career otherwise engaged.

And at the bottom of the article....

And on Best being let go, one year on from his breakthrough into the first team picture, PNE CEO Peter Ridsdale told BBC Lancashire: “I would love to be sitting here with a team full of players who’ve come through our youth academy.
“There are very few teams who’ve got that, to be honest. One of the challenges we face with the academy is that it’s category three, which means the competitive nature is a lower level than I’d like.”

The lying get!!

Doesn’t surprise me one bit. Also, as is usually the case with Ridsdale, he’s presented it as an all or nothing scenario. The choice isn’t a first team with no academy players vs a first team “full of them” - one or two would do 🙄

I’m saying what I said, we’re going nowhere. There are many factors that need to fall into place and we aren’t anywhere close.

Ridsdale needs to provide us with a Club Update to explain why the club has apparently now abandoned what he called "a strategic decision not to attempt to move from Category Three to Category Two", which was the last time we heard anything official about their youth development "strategy".

The senile old fart doesn't remember "unproven assistant" Stuart McCall being a manager six times in the past two decades.

His brain skips back to the turn of the millennium every time.

Standard Peter talk, depending on the story or question the answers are always different to suit the narrative at that point. Would love whoever is interviewing him to counter his answers with what he has said previously.

Whoever wrote that article should have finished with there is nothing stopping a competently run club for investing in there academy and improving its category status if the clubs wishes to without impacting FFP
 
Sorry if this has already been mentioned on the thread but is it definitely confirmed we won’t be taking up the option on Greenwood?
 
Nothing happening with Porteous either? I know he didn't play the last few games and believe that may have been due to a contractual trigger point.
