BeckfordsRightFoot Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I wonder if opinions have changed since I was mocked and ridiculed for suggesting (before the first game) that we should have signed; Mark Tyler - Best lower league keeper I've ever seen. Free transfer Michael Nelson - Dominating, solid centre back. Nominal fee Adam La Fondre - Lower league goalscorer. Out of contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldhamSheridan Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Mark Tyler - Can't argue that he is any worse than Brill. There's plenty of half decent keepers out there, we just don't have one at the moment. Michael Nelson - Fee zero as moved on a Bosman, to a team paying wages way out of our league. More chance of seeing rocking horse :censored:. Adam La Fondre - Not out of contract. Moved for a large (in our terms) amount of money. Reported to have broken Rotherham's transfer record which previously stood at £160,000. Obviously undisclosed puts all that up for debate though.

BeckfordsRightFoot Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 Nelson's wages would be the same as Gregan and Parker combined. Or the same as Lee Hughes. Or the same as John Sheridan. I think we know which would be the better deal. We can assume a price of around £150,000 for La Fondre. Colbeck was £65,000, Iif we cant afford £85,000 to support a new manager in a competitive league then we really are in a bad way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be that I was right all along? not really, who were you expecting to come on and say "Yes you are 100% right", newyorkboss? WE can't afford the £85,000, at £20 a head that is 4,000 floating fans or a 1/20 of the season ticket holders, beofre his wages. It's not monoply money you know, and you have to pay it back, or are you gordon Bown in disguise.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeckfordsRightFoot Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 I refer back to the fact that if the owners can't support a new manager to the tune of £80k then we are in desperate trouble. Contrary to popular belief, we are not a hand to mouth club. We got money from the Eardley sale, appearances on TV last year, releasing big earners. Latics could easily have afforded that. Obviously, Penney might have considered these players and decided against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckfordsRightFoot Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 And Yard Dog, is it impossible for you to have a debate without - yet again - resorting to childish insults. OldhamSheridan made valid points which I appreciate, he didn't "rip my argument to pieces". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeckfordsRightFoot Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 Why do you all get so defensive! Why cant we have a debate instead of sarcastic commets and insults. Please, suggest which signings you would have made taking into account wages, players in and out etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor_Coconut Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Mark Tyler - 'The best keeper in the lower leagues' now playing conference football Michael Nelson - Oldham or Norwich, tough choice. Adam Le Fondre - Laughable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeckfordsRightFoot Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 Yard Dog I didn't stop going because they're crap. I stopped going due to the ridiculous increase in prices and the fact that I decided to put all my spare time and energy into training for a different sport. Any signing suggestions?

Adam Le Fondre - Laughable. Senor Coconut, your a long term fan. Surely you must know of Mark Tyler. He is superb. He has signed for Luton, I assume for good wages. Joe Lewis was keeping him out of the Peterborough team, not something to be ashamed off. Why is La Fondre laughable? Unless your admitting to Rotherham now being a more attractive prospect than Oldham? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped going due to the ridiculous increase in prices and the fact that I decided to put all my spare time and energy into training for a different sport. Fair enough. Can't actually fault that. You have given me the impression that you stopped going because of the team performances. Sorry for getting the wrong end of the stick.

BeckfordsRightFoot Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 I post in spare time at work. Seeing as you think I'm lying my weekly schedule goes as follows. Monday - Grappling - 7pm - 8.30pm Tuesday - Either rest day or Judo - 7pm - 8.30pm Wednesday - Grappling for MMA - 7pm - 8.30pm Thursday - Grappling - 7.30pm - 9pm Friday - Conditioning for MMA - 7pm - 8pm Saturday - 2pm - 3pm - Sparring class Sunday - Rest day. Odd swimming/bike sessions in there too. Rock climbing for grip work on occasion. As you can see, no spare time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeckfordsRightFoot Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 One of the benefits of being single Rummy! The injuries counter balance it though lol Incidentally, I may be emigrating to Thailand soon, there's a good chance I may be staying an hours boat ride from Phuket so I'll be making regular trips to Ray Elbe's MMA school.
