Transfer Rumours Summer 2025 Transfer Thread…

Even taking inflation into account, we overpaid, and Fryatt and McLean individually still cost less than Joseph.

 

Beer was 4d a pint when you were a lad.

 

I can't remember what price my first pints was in 1968 when I was 14 having my first.

 

We still overpaid for McLean.

 

Sinik spent most of his time here on SSP.

 

Slater transfer really dragging on. Never going to recoup that £50k.

 

We've overpaid on current evidence, that said the value of investments can fall as well as rise.

A pint was 1/10 at the Stable Bar in the Croft Spa Hotel (near Darlington) in 1968. It was a pretty cool place frequented by all us young and trendy (we thought) mods.

 

Adjusted for inflation we could have had two Alf Common's, with an extra limb thrown in, for what we paid for Slater. Just shows how crazy transfers fees have become.

I was getting 11 pints for £1 in 1968. That was in Leeds, don’t know if Hull was any cheaper.

 

The Red Lion in Anlaby was 1/11 (for us Mods).

 

****kkk….im now paying £10 for 1

 

Yes but the average wage in 1968 was £24, a lot less up north. Our office manager was only on about £25. Though he could run a Volvo on that. I was on about £7.50 a week at the time. Lads I knew were on apprenticeships at £2.50 a week although they reaped the rewards when they qualified at 21.

 

Women and beer and it all went downhill.

 

No Vern, I've had a great life, just paying for it now with my health but not complaining one bit.

 

You've had a rock star life, and ended up with the face of Keith Richards.

I get that, it's more that it's public knowledge and another club could well swoop in.

 

He was hoping for his bank account.
