Quoted from lew chaterleys lover


If two multi millionaire owners with extra revenues from increased attendances cannot afford a reasonable transfer fee then what is the point?

The owners have in fact said many times that money is available and would listen to Hurst if he wanted a particular player.

So far at least it is just words.


What does them being millionaires have anything to do with anything?

If town spunked £300k on someone like Palmer this board would blow up…

But you said ‘they don’t want to’. That’s just silly. They may be willing to pay for the right player. Just because they haven’t thus far doesn’t make your point valid. It’s just supposition. ‘They don’t want to’ you said. You couldn’t possibly know that and actually, this is contrary to what they said they’ll do. Would you pay £300K for Ollie Palmer and then a wage that is doubtless bigger than anyone in our squad?!? !I’ll take a punt and say the answer is ‘no’.

It implies that Hurst didn't want to pay £300,000 for Palmer, not that the money wasn't available.

Or so far at least Hurst hasn't asked for the money...... maybe doesn't want an ego in the building.......maybe he knows a striker would command a wage that would upset the structure and disgruntle other players.....
I was and am pretty peed off that we didn't bag Tshimanga when all signs pre season were that I think we felt we maybe had him, but when it didn't come off it was Hurst who made comments regards £250k being ridiculous or similar at this level. Whether he felt he couldn't pay that or the board said we are not paying that we don't know.
Chesterfield have so far have shown that maybe it was a shrewd investment..both League position for now or with any potential profit if they decide to sell on in January.

Halifax got Quigley from Yeovil too. That would’ve been a good signing for us.

His desire to open bottles with his teeth would probably require a Club Dentist on top of his salary and transfer fee!

My initial post was not about Palmer. It was a suggestion that we could pay a reasonable fee for a player.

Nobody would agree paying 300k for Palmer seems like good business.  Mind you, if he fires them to promotion it would be money well spent.

300k for Ollie Palmer is top of the list for the most insane transfer I’ve ever seen at this level.

It’s flipping eye watering for a striker who was no better than okay here

One of Chesterfield, Stockport or Wrexham won’t be going up this year and the charity buckets will almost certainly start rattling as a result

Today I learned that as well as Aaron Martin, a striker recently of Harrogate fame, Port Vale also have a centre-half named Aaron Martin.

They played against each other when the two sides met in September, which must have been interesting for the radio commentators.
