Let down

[Dare to dream!]

By the club is what I'm feeling right now. To let a top player and a fans favourite go is really disappointing. Someone has already posted that Spurr said on Sunday that no paperwork had been handed to him and he wanted them to get their finger out just shows that we could of avoided this. Good luck Tommy! He will get a good reception if he plays at the keepmoat I'm sure.

What I find strange is,whether or not we get any investment,surely we would still sign certain players like Tommy?Unless its down to the fact that GB and PD cannot commit to contracts unless they know who will be in charge of funding them yet?the current major shareholders or the new major shareholders?

Thats exactly it. Its difficult to pay people from a pot if you don't know whos pot you are going to pay someone from.

Blackburn get £12 million a year in parachute payments no? They can far pay over the odds even if  Spurr was offered far more than anyone else  at DRFC-what would you do?

But it shouldn't of got to the point that he was allowed to speak to other clubs. We should of identified him as a key player and got him signed up asap

We cant even make a profit on the 200,000 we bought him for as he is a free agent... bit shit really.

And how much is our promotion worth?  Was the 200K a sound investment to help us get to the Championship?

But all players or agents will wait until the last minute before deciding which way to jump

Not really, we were already in it.

Some do yes. But even Tommy Spurr said on Sunday that he hadnt been offerd a contract

But he was instrumental in helping us get back there...

So potential team for Saturday could be:

Maxted
Quinn
Jones
Khumalo
Husband
Cotterill
Furman
Keegan
Duffy
Coppinger
Brown

Should be ok for Saturday but with Wigan playing in the charity shield the week after some players have to be brought in I'd be surprised if we fill the bench on Saturday

[Dare to dream!]

We need to sign 2/3 players just to get through the Blackpool game
