JCH coming back for a 3rd time :)

Never saw him play but I voted Reg Matthews. Born in Cov, first Cov player to pay for England, which he did while we were in Division 3. Honourable mentions to Jim Blyth and Bill Glazier who I both preferred to Oggy.

Treading carefully here, but I notice that the ex Huddersfield owner has allowed a restructuring of the repayment of monies owed to him, of loans made with 0% interest. I don't like this idea that our owners who are supposed to be acting in the interests of the club at the end of the day, are...

I mentioned before, but it doesn't seem to have dawned on people that MR (and most of the guys he wants to sign) are probably on holiday right now. I'm not surprised things are quiet.

Yes Zenden was mentioned in the papers at the time. Of the others I think Henry, Van Nistelrooy & Trezeguet were mentioned in the 'Staying Up' book, didn't ever know about Melchiot or Ljungberg. In the 90's papers also linked us to signing Nakata, Okocha and Lalas. This thread also reminds me...

So who did your source tell you about before that was correct, and when did you post on here about it? Why would he know this information, other than by an educated guess? Of course, your 'source' is already wrong on this one. First you told us this was happening last week - it didn't. Then it...

This someone could be pulling your plonker of course :)

Those voices in your head don't count!!

Maybe MR is on a holiday. He's got to take one at some point!!

Just don't see how we can afford to do that. I think loans will be brought into play, not sit on the sidelines.

We all know how this pans out ........... if it's not announced this week then you'll get told its next week etc etc, until you eventually strike lucky.

Given our finances I can't see us not heavily relying on loans, and the success or otherwise of those loans will define what kind of season we have. I certainly don't see a mass influx of permanent signings.

I'm not in the know, but will hazard a guess at 'no' being the answer. Probably more chance of being correct than those 'in the know'!

To make matters worse Newport were the better team (granted neither were much cop), and they could have easily had a penalty themselves in the 1st half when the Morecambe keeper punched the Newport forward in the head. I'd feel very hard done by if I was them.

Cloughie was still to have his Brighton & Leeds spells at this point though too. Much though its nice to think we could have gone onto Forest's success the likelihood is he would have soon fallen out with Robins as you alluded to & left us before we got anywhere near that point. From what I...

Think your mixing this up with when we approached him after Cantwell left. When JH left as Manager, Clough had still to achieve any success with Derby. They had finished towards the bottom of Division 2 in 1966/67, and did the same in 1967/68. It wasn't until the following season when he took...

If only 5 allowed I would say definitely Hill, Sillett, Curtis, Hutchison. Dublin would be a good shout for the final place although I was as personally fond of Wallace, Hunt, Regis, Speedie, Gallacher & Ndlovu.

Think that might have been Leicester. His best games were away from home, Man City and Southampton early in the season and Leicester late on after Hartson had signed. We sold Keane right before the season and Bellamy seemed something of a panic signing. Selling Keane was good for his investors...

When Collins doesn't become a regular at Cardiff, we will get plenty on here encouraging a move for him however long his contract is. I'm 100% sure this won't be the last transfer window someone puts him on their wishlist :rolleyes:

Jordan Graham from Gillingham? Ticks the Jordan requirement and also born in Cov meets another favourite requirement. I didn't know anyone called Jordan when I was growing up, but you got me thinking there must be a Jordan XI out there, starting with Pickford in goal :)
