We burn this thread. And in the blaze of the flames, we raise a tankard of ale (Rebellion will do) to the memories. And tomorrow, we move on and forget Chairboy number 28 ever existed.
The thing with the 28 shirt was bizarre though, as one of the new lads previously wore that number but I believe he said he was only allowed to choose 40-onwards?
Of course we should, provided Bolton weren’t asking silly money (whatever that would be now).
Let’s draw a veil over the suspicion in some quarters that our venture into the European market was undertaken with an eye towards the possibility of appointing (apparently after a “statutory” two months delay) a well respected Danish coach.
Pure speculation, of course, and two more months of interim management by Sam Grace, Sam Vokes etc, whilst arguably tolerable if we were solidly rooted in mid table, would no doubt have been seen as a bridge too far whilst we were sitting reasonably comfortably in second place.
I share with several other Gasroom posters the hope that Xavier Simons will prove to be very much in the same mould as Aaron Morley.
I bet the sight of this thread popping up again will have people desperately crossing fingers and hoping that, through some miracle, Aaron Morley is returning after all, although I’m not sure if a player can even be signed on loan outside the window.
Nice one, perfidious! But I hope my first post gave an interesting and thoughtful insight into the way the ultimately disappointing business might have played out.
Comparisons aren't always fair but Simons does seem to be as close to what we needed as we could have hoped for while also taller, younger and fitter. Early days but very promising. Also maybe one who would be willing to stay long term.

Wonder if the No 28 shirt will be retired?
it will have to be as his 5m high statue will be sporting his number.
I think we all know who the real Mr Wycombe is.

The data suggests Danes play better wearing high number shirts. No-one knows why but they do.
I think the FA/EFL state only one player per season per club to have the same number. (Unless it’s a “big club with a big number 7 to accommodate”).
Jason McCarthy and Sonny Bradley would dispute that.
Never say never
I started off sponsoring Brechin at the start of the season, and Butcher halfway through………. both wore number 8
See you all on August 1st.
Sooner than that - summer window opens on July 1!
Doh! Of course it does. Long day.
we should have signed Arron Morley. End of.

More likely people will see it pop up again and think “what the f*€k can this bunch have come up with now to drag this dead thread out one more time”!

Aaron who?
What a player though.
I think i might fall in love with Xavier Simons. Looks every bit the player Morley is/was.

Imagine a world where we had both Simons and Morley! What an option that would be when it comes to rotating players.
Stop it.
And on the flip side, convincing them both to stay!
The difficulty with attracting good players is that everyone worries about them going. Perhaps that's part of the plan.
