did he not say immediately after the Stoke games that he would be staying with us next season???
Has anyone stopped to think that these players who said they wanted to help us get back up, did actually mean just that? However then comes along a big juicy offer too good for MM to turn down, so all of a sudden the player has very little choice but to leave. I wouldn't buy these quotes saying they wanted to play in a higher division etc .... the fact is the business is too good to turn down. Therefore I don't think the players who have gone should be looked upon as bad people.
What's all this stopping to think you're talking about???
I just wonder where these players would be now if MM's eyes hadn't lit up at the sight of big pound notes.
The players who have gone may have actually wanted to stay, but when the chairman accepts an offer what choice do you have ??
I see where you're coming form.
Having said that, these departures have coincided with the appointment of our new manager. Perhaps it's not all MM's fault???
Maybe NP thinks he can get better in with the money he'll have to spend.
Absolutely. I'm not posting fact, but I just wanted to look at it from the other side.
You could be right. NP has said he's identified targets and maybe some selling is needed to enable this to happen.

Anyone got a spare £175, 'cos there's a bloody bargain going begging here:
