Many many years ago (maybe 55) as a young boy on a day trip with school we walked past Robert Morley - who was quite famous at the time - hearing him remark "Children are quite horrible!" or something similar.
That's about as close to Aaron Morley as we're going to get, I think.
Not sure how this falls down on either side of the Bloomfield/Ownership argument. It’s a statement rather than opinion. For the record I would have loved Morley to come back, as would 99% of fans.
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.

Thought he was at Barcelona

he is proven in championship and is an excellent signing if we get thos over the line!
MB wanted him prior to leaving and was told the club are pursuing other options. He isn’t joining, you can let it go.
As one of our newest posters, this no doubt comes with the Danuard Seal of Approval.

Morley was Fantastic but genuinely think the Simmons could be even better !
when the window closes i feel like we neend a ceremony to shut this thread down.
Morley is going to be the new Dave Tarpey.
I don’t think that’s fair, as the legend of Dave Tarpey could only be the greater for the fact of never actually having played for us.

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.
