It wasn't swanky. He was just a working class lad and an amateur footballer.

I think he actually had a Ford Capri. But nice anecdote.

Graham Withey, entertainment personified. The prototype for Garry Mabbutt's knee.

Or do you mean Waggott?

It was exciting and a pleasure watching Armstrong last season. Yes it would be great to have him back. But I would love him to get his break at Newcastle and establish himself. I watch football to see good football and watch good players. The English game needs British players to break...

Panic over Martin being released and Stokes needing an operation. Yes I think Martin deserved a new contract, but the rub was Mowbray saw him as a squad player and his wage was too high. I think Vincelot was in the same situation. So at this level you have to shuffle your pack, often lighten...

How many accounts you running now Nick? :-)

So lets talk realistic targets within our budget. Who should we have signed and who should be our targets?

I thought your previous post would be your last on this thread?

Once we signed Reid it was unlikely

I know suggesting black people are lazy and don't like work. Perhaps Bruce the Boot is Ron Atkinson

The only problem with your theory is players and agents can afford to wait. Also Premiership squads and Championship squads take shape late. TM can have 5 loans but they still come out of the budget and have to be paid for. This pool of resources is potentially far better than the dross he...

January is a different situation. Mowbray knew we lacked experience and bodies. He brought in who he thought might be able to do a job out of the limited choice he had. You either push on or you don't. It is your last roll of the dice. In the summer it is different, once you have spent the...

TM would have liked players in earlier too. But we are not alone, plenty of sides are in our situation and still waiting too make a few signings. Getting the right players is not a simple process. What you don't want is panic buying. I would rather give our own youngsters a chance.

I think TM has been trying to source a CB on a permanent deal. I also think he has missed out on a few due to budget and or location. I am sure he is prepared for this scenario and will have loan targets.

Yes two defenders are priority and another striker. In fact three defenders would be ideal. A hard tackling CM might be useful too.

Reassuring to have the McCann deal made official. I would be fairly happy if we can bring in two permanent signings and say three on loan. We need quality not quantity. Better to save the budget for the right players rather than just fill up the spaces.

And that applies to the Stadium as well.

Are Chesterfield and Rochdale Kit sharing? My favourite is Swindon, a lot to be said for simplicity. I like Millwalls as well.
