Forget it. All gone to the Cayman Islands by now. Is that saving the Delph money, the Beckford money, all the cup run money or the TV money for summer? Forget it.

Agree about Gradel. For £200k, it's hardly even a gamble. You’re definitely not going to agree with this mornings post!

I'm not suggesting the league is won but our progress has to be incremental, and the big push will have to come 2010/11 season where we will attract a better class of player.

I doubt he'd had that as part of his financial planning at the beginning of the season when he gave Grayson some cash and planned his money for wages, that is unless you add oracle to the long list of names we have for him Whilst Bates speaks his mind which is refreshing he clearly lacks a bit of decorum, yes he’s clearly saved the club however he is tighter than a nuns bum when it comes to making money available for transfers, how can he possibly deny monies is available after £750k from Manure?

Don't can characters like bates, it would be a sad place if no one was outspoken, controversial or unafraid of speaking their mind. Keep it up bates!

This weekend will see us back with 3 points. Beckford, it was nice while it lasted, thanks for the goals, wish you well, let's give grella our full support as we push for auto promotion and he pushes to guarantee a place in this summer's USA squad. 200k for Gradel? Have it. Don’t be too alarmed over the wycombe game lads, after a monumental victory over Man Who, its not surprising the team were a bit shell shocked or not firing on all cylinders.

Shows what I know! Young players are seemingly impossible to judge. Certainly not a Stevie G or Beckham, but I’ve seen him play a few times and thought he was destined for the first team.
