Thks Airsy, so if it works out to FIFA rankings, it will be Spain vs France in top half and England vs Argentina

The one signing I’m interested is Seddon - sadly I can’t see it

Agree, Swiggy. And he has a lot of goodwill from that franny game

Maycock was excellent when he finally got to start, a fantastic engine

DTB is a lost cause now OI it is what it is until we’re forced into a full sale.

Whilst not an exciting “brand new” signing I’m very pleased to see that we’ll have Zack again next season. He is effective at this level and I think he’ll improve as long as the overall squad is sufficient to not be in a dog fight all season. For the first two signings of the window I’m feeling pretty chipper.

This time next week will be the latest we hear about those who have been offered terms as their contracts end - unless they sign a new one!

The DTB June meeting summary is now out although it took two weeks to appear after the meeting so presumably the May minutes will follow soon. There is still no link to the Volunteer Code of Conduct despite me having been asking politely since last Autumn, even with a break whilst they were busy with 50%+1. A cynic would start thinking they don't want people to see the Code though I can't imagine why.

Wimbledon Expects

Maycock featured in 47 games last season (staring about 2/3rds of those)

I like Maycock too, DO. But JJ did seem to like leaving him out, so he obviously doesn't share our opinion.

Agree about Tilley. He was part of the reason our form improved in the new year. Clearly a better fit for us than he was at his parent club.

I fear if Nelson is back, Maycock be on his way out.

I guess NEW old SIGNING

I thought Nelson looked OK from what I saw of him last season.

Happy with that.

Does Nelson count as a "new" signing?

NEW SIGNING

Zack Nelson back

Let's face it, although I'm sure there are regular enquiries about taking up a shareholding and ongoing discusssions with multiple potential partners, nothing is going to happen that will affect the 2026/27 budget. Even assuming that there are people happy to plough in 'working capital' without control, it will be next year before anything could actually have a meaningful effect. So we will have a relegation budget for the coming season and JJ and CC can't keep working miracles on lousy funds.

TBH I would hope we're signing Sweeney-esque players, namely those who can do the proverbial job in L1.

Blimey OI that’s surprisingly pessimistic for you. It is hot to be fair it’s too hot even to really look forward to cracking open an ice cold beer this evening because that just means laying in bed with a mouth as dry as the Sahara all night and yet somehow also needing a wee.

I'm happy to welcome Dan Sweeney back but though he looked very good at National League level and competent in League 2, he doesn't look like one who will drag us out of the relegation places in League 1.

Rob C on Twitter just shared a tweet by Dan Sweeney with his name and squad number on AFCW kit saying “it’ll happen again one day” - from 13 years ago when he left.

I'm sure Mrs. Campbell would have sorted the sport and everything else out there.
