We’re spoilt
« on January 15, 2019, 12:46:30 pm by Branton Rover »
Apparently we have told Rovvrum to sod off after their approach for John Marquis was rejected.
When I was a youngster in the 80’s any bid however derisory was accepted by our then board of directors for any of our promising players - no wonder we never really achieved anything much of note.

Point being we now have a proper board of directors who see the merits of having our footballing assets on the pitch rather than in a bank account

There's certainly more chance of us being in the Championship than them next season.

Grant McCann said today that rumours of bids for Marquis were untrue.

My point was in my op was that kids & youngsters today basically gave no idea just how crap it was following DRFC after the Bremner 2x promotions of the early mid 80’s nor did they have to go through the trauma of Richardson/Dinard debacle - for the last 20 years barring the experiment it’s been fantastic to be a part of our club & so the youngsters of today have not suffered the hardships I did supporting them as a kid & through to early adulthood

Absolutely right. In those days we sold a player as soon as they ran into a bit of form!
