Quote Wadski="Wadski"Did I read that the moneyman has pulled out of Fev? How does that affect their 2015 recruitment and retention?'"
He turned out to be the no-moneyman, and there's barely a Fev fan who isn't heartily relieved he has gone. The £450k for finishing second became of massive importance to the club as we had a lot of financial commitments but it seems we will be able to retain most of our squad next year, though doubtful we'll be making much of a splash with new signings.
It's been a bewildering year for players and supporters alike with a huge turnover in personnel both on and off the field, and I think a lot of us are a bit bemused, though delighted, that we've managed to finish second. We have been some way short of the top Championship team that we'd been accustomed to watching in previous years (outclassed by Leigh and more recently by the back-to-form Sheffield), and whether we can launch a challenge for the top 4 next season remains to be seen with the Championship obviously going to be much tougher next year, but most Fev fans are just relieved that we've got our club back (the bombast and ludicrous press releases that resulted from Feisal's presence are not at all what the club has ever really been about) and our immediate financial future seemingly back on reasonable terms; we should still have a competitive squad next season if we have more luck with injuries (five ACLs amongst first-team regulars in one season).
