Re: Rumour Mill
The one thing I've taken from these charts is that I really want to see a clip of that solitary goal, scored from around 25-30 yards out.
Re: Rumour Mill
Though there was dispute from some about checkbook opening, I think an owner and a manager being so in sync as to signings as Rob C and Gareth were, is a rare thing that perhaps we should all have appreciated more at the time.
A man with big money is going to want to make sure him and his team keep an eye on how it is spent, if they are making or denying signings without input (and we do not know for sure that is the case), perhaps it is another facet of modern management that both Matt and us have got to learn to deal with.
(If we keep improving, other teams are bound to want our best players, I'm not convinced they don't have any say, but I trust MB and his team can do the business with the players he gets.)

I just had a quick trip to Argentina, yet really struggled to fool it into forgetting I was from the UK. If anyone manages, spill your solution to this Patagonian problem

I'm taking my daughter. Probably go the chespstow on county road beforehand for a pint.
Try and enjoy it! Could be our last FA Cup at Goodison. If Dyche is still in charge for the game then I'm hoping it's his last game too.

Our problem was that there was too much air in Jhon Duran, and he went flying.

Re: Rumour Mill
For any talk about reinvestment of Low money. I've heard the problem with signing Morley isn't because we don't have the cash, it's that the data bods don't want us to spend it on him.
I don't run a football club, but it is remarkable that someone with cash to spend, who has been vocal about getting us promoted, won't buy the player that most average fans see could be the difference in making it happen, because of numbers in Excel.
Then again, that was the rumour about why Fred didn't originally sign.... then after a few injuries, the arms were twisted. Who knows?

Sean Devine was bought permanently in May 1999. He was sold in December 2003. BWK!
