Cantley the last thing i am is naive the club wants top six we don’t sell JM.

We will see how the club performs in this case. We can all comment after August the 9th. Then it could be tin hat time for the board.

Well we keep getting told the club is run by businessmen and I am convinced that if a decent offer came in for JM they would take it.

Why does them being businessmen mean they would be more likely to sell him?

I'm a businessman and I know that it would cost me far more to replace my best people than it does to keep them happy and feeling appreciated.

The skill in football is picking up players like JM, selling them for the maximum then replacing them for a fraction of the price. Easier said than done but possible.

Gaz at league one level it’s even harder to do that in my opinion.

It is difficult. There are a plenty of good players out there, there aren’t a lot of people good enough to spot them though.

All the board ever had to say was "There is not the money in the coffers as in previous years and our aim is to achieve a League One mid-table position this coming season".

Simple and short. There would be no need for bickering, arguing, fighting, speculation and over expectation.

I could live with that.

Why would they make something up just to allow you to wallow in your misery?

One of these days people like you will drive the board, and their money, away. And then what?



Then someone else will come along as has happened for years and years.

Oh dear. Have you not seen what happens to clubs who just assume someone coming in to take over is going to be good at it, or keep their promises?

Barry Hearn took Leyton Orient to the brink of the Championship then decided someone else would be better to do that. He handed the club over to Francesco Becchetti and within 3 years Orient were a non-league team having to put together an entirely new squad and needed bucket collections at games to try and stay in existence.

Be careful what you wish for indeed. And maybe be a bit more grateful this club has sensible owners with real money who care about the well-being of their town's football club.

Your complacency is breathtaking. Don’t you know when you’re well off?

Well it's a good job these guys are businessmen and not football men, isn't it!     ;)

Perhaps Ken Richardson is still interested?

So Aberdeen have said publicly they bid, Peterborough have publicly say they bid, Grant McCann says they’ve bid..... but no bids have come in???? We all know Baldwin’s a yes man... but it’s another case of lying to the fans... the boards a joke

Disgraceful post.
