So we turned down bids for Sharp, Stock, Friend and Coppinger did we?Did we sell Sharp to Southampton or Dick Turpin? They robbed us at getting him for only just over a million.O'Driscoll mut have piddled his pants when he saw us do that.
In fairness, Alan does have a point re Sharp, even if it's largely irrelevant to the thread. I'm not bothered by the minimum fee release clause, although it was criminally low. What still bugs me about the deal though was that we turned down £3m from Saints literally a month earlier, knowing he could walk for half that in a month's time.At least we didn't sell him to Ipswich and Paul f**king Jewell, though.
You're in a different world to me if you think what we got for them is peanuts.....What's the alternative, keep aging players or players that don't want to be here on money we can't afford? If you'd prefer that then can you please provide a realistic solution as to where the money will come from?
Yesterday Dean Saunders also said "we are struggling financially. We've cut the budget by 70% and I know that some of the bigger earners might still have to be moved on". Doesn't sound like we're in such a "good position".

Let's get along, we're all Rovers fans and we can't envy those running the club. Let's get behind them!
"No debt"?So have the £4.8m of loans that were on the Balance Sheet at 31st May 2011 now been repaid?

That means it doesn't owe any money. We've had this conversation before Skellow, if TB, DW and JR loan money to a club owned by TB, DW and JR who do you think pays them back???
