You'll follow then faithfully
Oh Grimsby Grimsby

Quoted from RonMariner


Yes, we should have gone all out to sign him. He was clearly a fabulous goal scorer. As soon as I heard Chesterfield had signed him I thought it was terrible news for us. I wonder how many points his goals have earned for them, including three yesterday.

When is the last time we splashed out big money on a player?  We did in 1998 and look at the result. Two Wembley wins.

You can't win titles on the cheap. Will we never learn?


In 1997 we had also just received £1.5m for Oster and about £700k I think it was for Mendonca.

In the summer we got a decent sum for Pollock and Grist but it went straight to the bank of Fenty.

You don’t want us to pay Fenty off as quickly as possible?

We’ve also had several above budget attendances according to Barralad.

The quicker we get that albatross off our back the better,  the transfer fees shorten the timeline by a whole year so that's just one more season after this and then it adios forever!

I was stating why we were able to splash the cash in 1997.

We were a league club in 1997 and a fair bit has happened since.

My comment was in reply to this:

There was a reason we spent a lot of money in 1997 and that was because of player sales. Unfortunately Mr Fenty insisted that all player sales belong to him until he's paid off.

If we didn't have Fenty to pay off then I'm sure a good portion of that money would have gone into the playing budget, like it did in 1997.
