    Whatever way they come out with we need him etc at the end of the day they are after a profit Ross cost 250k with add ons they may get£4m so what would you do
    I would sell him but invest that money wisely not in getting Vaz Te or any other has been they are not hungry enough we need more youngsters who have the desire to do well like for instance Young Ings Wignall at Scunthorpe fits the bill .Pennant forget him along with Beckford .We should have got Wells but gave in to Town who have shown us the way by recruiting to unknow youngsters from Norway and Kidderminster they should be applauded not derided
    #As for wanting a new manager forget it who in their right mind would work under this lotcertainly no one who was any good so until we get proper investment we will be the laughing stock of football

    Managers don't have it too bad 60 - they get sacked and get their contract fully paid up, then become pundits. Anyone would take the job, and why not?

    Since we are not going up by a mile, I would sell him. Let the owners laugh all the way to bank. We are never going up with shister owners.

    He is the best we have and he is having probably his best season ever, saying that I do believe he is replaceable. I don't want to see him go, I am glad the club have said no but everyone does have a price and I agree, as long as it is decent money and ploughed straight back into the pot for new players... As long as it is not a deadline day deal leaving us no time to replace him. IF Ross wants to go he needs to hand in a request now.

    The money will probably be used to pay back Haigh and Flowers who have funded GFH to the tune of £6m since the (ahem) takeover process started. If as is looking likely the takeover by Sport Capital doesn't come to fruition they'll be wanting their money back somehow, and selling McCormack is probably the only way GFH can raise the necessary funds.

    Average 20,000 home crowds versus 24,000 needed to break even as a start?

    Bates took out a loan against all this seasons season ticket money.So our income is based on the other 12-14000.

    How did we give in to udders for Wells 60, i'll ask you again, were we ever after him, did we bid for him did McD want him, did he speak to him or his agent?. you come out with a lot of claims but don't back them up
    I agree with Chesh, if Ross wants to go, get as much as we can for him, but lets see where the money is spent

    No idea what the £6m was used for, the club's probably still leaking money somewhere.
