I asked him the same question, and he said that was the one of the reasons MM accepted the role. He then added that the recruitment has not been good enough in the last couple of years. Which I totally agree with. We have had a few good signings but overall poor.Mark Palios confirmed in one of the recent Facebook Q and As that he and Steve Beck will be actively involved in the recruitment process. I think at least three or four of the out of contract players will be offered new deals.
Both Palios and Mellon have implied that our budget will be better than those of the majority of League Two clubs.
I think the recruitment in terms of individual talent was very good last summer, but for whatever reasons neither Jackson or Hill could get those individuals to perform consistently as a team. I think the recruitment was better last summer because Palios was more actively involved than in previous years.I asked him the same question, and he said that was the one of the reasons MM accepted the role.

I would be very surprised if he is not offered a contract, and I think at least a couple of others will too.If we don't offer Clarke a contract I will be disappointed
Yes, the PFA team which is probably the most meaningful award. I think Spearing should have made it as well mind you.James Vaughan makes the L2 team of the year.
Lot of talk from Bradford end they are going sign himThink rides will be offered a deal. He’s still only around 30, knows the club, can play LB or CB, did well in the play offs and micky knows him. It’s a no brainer to give him another year
Rides is a Yorkshire lad, so that makes some sense. However, he has remained remarkably loyal over the past few years and it would be a wrench fit him. I hope we he stays. He’s more than good enough for League Two.Lot of talk from Bradford end they are going sign him
I would agree, decent competition for left back with Macdonald also looks good in a back 3.Rides is a Yorkshire lad, so that makes some sense.

Bradford may be willing to offer him more money and possibly a longer deal. Rovers may only want to offer him a one-year extension. However, if Micky really wants to keep him, the club could offer him a testimonial. He has already been with us nearly eight years.Would be a bit gutted if Liam left given his history with the club plus he is still capable of putting great delivery in as the play offs showed. If Bradford did sign him it may to provide cookie with some service if they signed him too.
I am surprised that there has been so little coverage of this. I’m not aware of any interviews. No details have been provided about his injury. I too wonder if he has lost his appetite for the game, although you wouldn’t think so from the way he plays. Retiring so young while still under contract, money can’t be an issue. Maybe he has decided to move on with his life. I wouldn’t be surprised if he does a Koumas and returns to the game after a short break.Such a waste Vaughan retiring at 32. We don’t know the details of the injury but you do wonder whether it wasn’t a career ending injury he got v Orient, but he’s just had enough. A real shame though.
