IOWA1984

My understanding is that we have just over £1.5m in place. The other £2.5m is in need of investors. If outside investors come in (it's suggested the Blitz may use his Lancaster Club land profit) they will want a return on the cash. Potentially cornering the non-football income from the stand.

 

All conjecture from me. I've no inside information. The remains of the FA Cup money may provide a bit of the gap. A big fee for Tarky (and I know my definition of "big" is approaching seven figures) would get us much closer to self-sufficiency in the stand, securing future income growth.

 

Me? I think Tarky's worth is probably at a high point. If we can extract a significant fee for him we should. Loan back would be great too. But I do think we want to be well north of Trotman's £500k fee.

That would make sense thinking about it. Thanks for info O4U.

Cash need: New stand.

 

Future income for the club: New stand. Much better to be funded by the club and not outsiders.

 

Tarky: Much improved, but everybody has a price. Hopefully it's a big one.

I hadn't taken new stand into account... surely we would have budgeted for that... or am I that nieve?

Please don't let this romour be true. Surely we can't be THAT desperate for cash to sell our best young player? Even if we sell him to Yorkshire and loan him back, ultimately what does that say about our ambition? We don't need to sell, unless we can get a sizeable fee, I strongly oppose selling Tarky.

Quality player. Very very impressed. We need to extend his contract already!!!

Yes but we played them around the park today, couldn't find that cutting edge and lost with the last kick of the game. Not like we were absolutely poor was it?

I'm not saying that. I'm saying 3 goals at home one week against a similar side, none this week is not acceptable. cutting edge lacking again at home worries me.

We beat their full backs time and again.

 

We didn't deliver quality crosses.

 

True. No one loading the box either or following in for second ball.

JCH needs to practice his simulation. His dives are poor quality.

 

We'll play worse and win.

Christ guys, okay we lost and we werent at our best. BUT we battered them and lost with a questionable penalty with the last kick of the game. We move on!

Should be bread and butter win against a side weakened by suspension and low on overall quality.

Rooney wasn't the problem today.

Agreed. I'd say the overall final third was.

How they took anything from that game is beyond me. They did nothing all game and then Hot Head Oxley strikes again looked a pen to me.

Should have turned them over with in the first 30 mins. Too many overhit crosses, no fight or desire from Rooney. JCH looked like he was running in treacle, Sid looked like a party peice player, how many times do you need to beat a man? Once should be enough.

Defence looked good all game, no danger then that from Oxley. I can't see how we can go on with one keeper. Massive loss. Must win game really. Hope LJ rockets them all.

Gutted really, but I reckon like mentioned before, this has been coming. Dredding playing Sheff U now when former player syndrome kicks in and he scores a double hat trick!

Sorry Latic. Didn't mean vote down... How do I get rid??!!

Not thw best but only three games in. Baxter more attacking please...

I like it. Least players will be able to pick each other out on the field!

OK cool... There ends my first thread attempt!!

Mate of mine who is a Hearts fan suggested that released John Sutton wants a move back down to England, Given LJ'S Connections to the North of the boarder, could it be a feasable signing? Tallies with the experienced striker we are looking for?

Looks like a handy little player to me Can play on either side of mid. Looks like he takes free kicks and can beat people Also looks rapid .

Obviously have to see the lad in action over here but I say good effort LJ.

'A player signing a new contract' Definitely sounds like a player we already have/had on our books. Possibly Korey Smith, Movoto, Crofty, or a former player returning perhaps?

Spat my tea out all over the computer!!! You owe me a new keyboard!!! W****R!!! LOL!

I think both are good players to keep hold of.

Tarky can be erratic, yes and Belezika looks to have a bit of a hot head style about him but I think with a bit of support and guidance both could be excellent cover or even a starter for next season going on to first choices in the next couple of seasons IMO

These plus a much more professional approach. Excited about next season under LJ's guidance.

Cliff Byrne as LJ's assistant manager anyone?

Small mercy? We got a point that takes us out of the bottom 4 with 2 games in hand in everyone important - alright we deserved to win but I can't see us going down to be honest.l.

Must win game that. A point is a point, that I agree with but if we play like we did today against some of the teans we are up against I'm a bit concerned.

.

Bournemouth 1-0 scunny

Thank the lord for small mercy.

 

Ok, a barm cake then...

Spot on. Always always a barm...

 

Quite a good Estonian player, printing costs for his shirt could be prohibitive.

Can't imagine Roy on Player coping with that name too well either!
