Am I the only negative person?
Am I the only negative person when I say that I don't have much confidence in the team we are about to put together for next season? I just wanted to get a feel for what others think. I don't want people to start listing some names of who we should get and who we shouldn't get because a lot has already been written about this. I just want a general feeling of which direction the club is going and whether its going to be successful. We have lost 2 players from last season, one retired, the other forced to look elsewhere. Given that the club gave permission so quickly for this to happen, and the fact that the best it could do was only offer a one year contract, does not say much about the confidence the club has itself. Since the sacking of the BASA board and the government taking control, it has left the Sixers on shaky ground. I'm not suggesting that it wasn't on shaky ground before under the mismanagement of the board, but the full extent of the problem was not evident. This team is not going to be a first preference for any available free agents as they won't feel secure here. There is uncentainty over what will happen at the end of April. Even though the salary cap has been raised by 5%, I doubt the government will approve the extra spending to get decent players.
I personally am quite distressed about the situation because I feel we are about to lose something that we have grown to love over the years.
If anyone can say anything positive and say it quite convincingly, I look forward to it because a glimmer of hope is what I am looking for.
