It's at times like this when a depressingly familiar scenario starts to unfold that I turn to music to cheer myself up. This I believe sums the situation up - top marks to those who know the band: Money, get away Get a good job with more pay And your O.K. Money, it's a gas Grab that cash with both hands And make a stash New car, caviar, four star daydream Think I'll buy me a football team Money get back I'm all right Jack Keep your hands off my stack Money, it's a hit Don't give me that Do goody good bullshit I'm in the hi-fidelity First class traveling set And I think I need a Lear jet (Sax and guitar solos) Money, it's a crime Share it fairly But don't take a slice of my pie Money, so they say Is the root of all evil Today But if you ask for a rise It's no surprise that they're Giving none away Away Away Away Away... "Hu Huh! I was in the right!" "Yes, absolutely in the right!" "I certainly was in the right!" "You was definitely in the right. That geezer was cruising for a bruising!" "Yeah!" "Why does anyone do anything?" "I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!" "I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2. He was asking Why he wasn't coming up on freely, after I was yelling and Screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely. It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out" I don't have a problem with Beccio going as I think he has more than served us well and deserves his chance if premier league is offered to him - good luck I say. What is disturbing is the fact that according to Alan Tate it was about the lack of cash why he didn't stay and the obvios lack of any decent signings. One week to prove us wrong but I'm not holding my breath.
Welcome Norman, Tate was not good enough. 275k had already been agreed, but Warnock backed out as Pearce was better then Tate...
I'm not worried that we didn't get Tate, in fact glad he didn't but it's comments made by him about Financial situation. Might be sour grapes but no smoke without fire combined with not able to match Beccio's requirements. All a bit worrying.
i'D LOVE TO SEE THE TRANSFER REQUEST. I wonder whether it mentions broken promises and lack of intentions
275k isn't (or at least shouldn't be) a huge amount. The fact he had to cancel the transfer in order to pursue other targets tells me we're operating on a VERY limited budget...
Maybe Tate is just **** stirring and because of what's happened with Becchio we're all overreacting. That would be a nice and welcome surprise...sadly I don't think it's true.
'275k isn't (or at least shouldn't be) a huge amount. The fact he had to cancel the transfer in order to pursue other targets tells me we're operating on a VERY limited budget... ' Tells me he was sh*te and Warnock knows it.
He was alright. Nothing particularly special. But why not sign him (or another defender), to add cover to centre half AND sign the forward players he wanted? He had to choose between forwards or defenders, and that's what tells me he has a limited budget.
