Leicestershire have signed Aussie batsman Mark Cosgrove, initially on a T20 contract for next season, but subject to clearance, he will play Championship and One Day cricket too. Cosgrove holds a British passport, so can sign as a Kolpak player, not an overseas player. Charlie Shreck has also signed a contract for next season.

He's definitely signed for T20, not confirmed by club yet. Also, we want him to play all forms, but that's subject to clearance, which shouldn't be a problem.

Nixon won't be coming in tomorrow that's for sure, I'd love that to happen one day though.

The timing of the new contracts/signings announcements suggests the club wants to make it seem like things are going in the right direction, which they may well be, but drastic changes still need to be made. I hope the members put that point across tomorrow.

Phil Whitticase leaving would be great. HD Ackerman in a possible coaching role? He has offered his services. Should get more clarification on the Neil Davidson saga, and hopefully when the new CEO will be appointed, which has to happen very soon if we want to build the foundations for next season.

Apparently he's taking an academy coaching role within the club.

 

Oh that's great, can't win with or improve the first team players but gets the chance to improve the next set of first teamers.

Academy Director definitely more suited to his abilities and experiences, we may as well utilise him in that role rather than pay him his hefty redundancy package. Also, he's done well in that role in the past so can't think of anyone better to take up that position really.

Andrew McDonald has been approached to become Head Coach, and the club is in discussions with Mark Cosgrove to captain us in all 3 forms next season.

He was Academy director before, more suited role for his abilities.

 

But you wonder how much coaching the first team will have changed his style, outlook, thoughts etc.

Anyone at the forum tonight. Seems like there's some positive vibes on twitter, especially with Andrew Boyce. Things finally maybe looking up?

Until the season starts again!

Actions speak louder than words friend.

Agree with Bert, until things ACTUALLY get done, and quickly so we are in good shape for the start of next season, it's all just promises. Many broken promises in the past. Need to get the Head Coach and CEO position sorted as soon as possible, and bring in 3/4 more players.

The general consensus seems to be that the meeting was very positive but as Riz & Bert say, talk is cheap. Positive signings so far though, need a couple more experienced pro's augment the correct squad. Someone like Stephen Peters at the top of the order would do nicely, someone dependable and experienced.

Heard a few rumours that we are after him, would be a decent signing for the top order as you say.
