Also heard town could be signing one of our better players not gonna name him as I hope it's not true Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DavidM 7,530 Report post Posted October 27, 2019 16 hours ago, gillmeister said: Thacks was immense for us so I’m loathe to talk the lad down but it’s a strange signing by Haven given his form of the last couple of seasons Indeed , bit of banter but I liked him . He gave us something we didn’t have , got the offload going ( even when no one was ready for it ) and got stuck in . Liked a chat with the ref as well , but if he feels he’s up for it and loves it then good on him . It’s more from havens side that the question marks arise . That’s one very very hard brutal league week in week out . Look what Barra had and they sank without trace . What York did was incredible really 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love to have Burns at town but cant see it happening to be honest, no doubt he will have talks with town to make haven give him the offer he wants, like all locals have done for years Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To plug the gap they have been begging an ex town director to put some money in. I’ve also heard this regarding the ex town director Asked him to join the board But we all know what that means i think Jamie would do ok in League 1 not so sure in championship but time will tell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a big jump no doubt, but if introduced slowly and used in the right way then the long term benefits will far outweigh short term frustrations.
