I'm hopeful he'll improve but at the same time, don't think he'd be here if Jones was already in building.
He's not who Jones would have signed.
But he's here so Jones has to find out how to get the best out of him.
I would not sell May under any circumstances.
Unless someone offered a couple of million of course.4 -

Like you and everyone else I hope he proves to be a great success.
But it's too early to say I have total faith.
If May leaves he better have a good replacement lined up.1 -
If we put better players around Coventry then he will likely be dropped as we will have better players.
Will be like the 12 days of Christmas from Monday, need an average of a player a day to the 27th to have a full squad...maybe more if we keep selling the better ones.3 -

So, 13 days until the squad report for pre season training, 13 days until the point where NJ said he wanted the squad rebuilding completed, or very nearly completed. We are a long way off that point. Lots of murmurings but so far one actual signing. I just hope this isn’t another false dawn.
With regard to Alfie May and his possible departure. On the face of it, it seems bizarre. However, I don’t think Alfie really fits into the system NJ wants to play and he was subbed off a number of games towards the back end of last season, and Alfie himself didn’t seem happy.
It’s a big call for NJ and he will live or die by it. If he thinks we have a better chance of promotion with players who he feels are better suited to his system then so be it. If selling Alfie means we can sign one or two strikers who NJ feels are better suited then it makes some sort of sense. If we sell Alfie and the money isn’t reinvested into the squad then it’s madness.
The clock is ticking. Talking the talk is fine, time to start walking the walk, and quickly.13 -

That's a start.
I agree by the way.0 -

He will sink or swim by his decision making, all we can hope for as fans is he gets it right, regardless of how controversial or odd it may seem now.
Yes...we all sink or swim by stupid decisions. Just some come up for air sooner than others.0 -
You know how this whole thing is gonna end...
Like London busses, we'll wait all day, and then three will turn up at the same time...🚌🚌🚌0 -

I thought Coventry was better than Bakinson last season.7

CafcSCP said:I love the shooting down of Coventry.
you can be sure that we didn’t see the best of him last season. NJ played an ugly brand of football to keep us up.
He’s hardly played for us.
if the new signings are at a level we expect then we will se a much better player I’m sure.3 -

£1.5M for Alfie, but priceless for us to get of this division.6

LoOkOuT said:Met Alfie May on a beach on holiday and had a good chat. Nothing that hasn’t been said already, but I can reveal Alfie now has dreadlocks, make of that what you will.
I'd been snoring like a tank apparanetly and coughing up the residue from the 6inch long bifta I'd smoked down to the end which I suppose explains the barking.
If we sell Alfie May it will easily top the stupidity of letting Dobbo leave and in a decade where stupidity and our club have set an admittedly low bar selling a man guaranteed to get you goals when we have designs on promotion is like sawing a leg off and expecting to win an arse kicking competition18 -

There’s been nine teams promoted in the last three years of Alfie being in this league and none of them had him in it.
I like him. And I’m not saying he’s holding us back.
But our chances of actually achieving anything as a football club are not joined to Alfie May’s hip.17 -
Million pounds strikers have been around for 45 years .... he's not that special. Use the money to improve the centrebacks and midfield ..... please 🙏3

The fact we've had 2 months to sign players that we KNOW we need and we've signed just ONE doesnt augur well to find a replacement striker in just 2 weeks.21
