Good to see Dwight on fire at the moment.

The best 10 million spent by any Club this year in my opinion in this mad mad football world.

Hyper thetical question I know but if Football was not so dominated by money , just how far would he had got us if we had kept him for three seasons.

Would have been nice to have kept him but like everything money talks and we made a lot of money out of him but where it went no one knows.

It's been explained countless times exactly where that money went, it was an exact demonstration of our business model over the last 10 years FFS.

It has only been explained by Thommo, where the money has gone... The same guy that has allegedly got us into financial troubles

That's Still & Bennett, not Thommo.

It's been mentioned numerous times on here and in the press that we have to sell players to keep ourselves out of the red, nothing's changed except that we haven't sold any players bar Jodi Jones for a long time.

Indeed.

Hopefully he has a mare on Saturday at st James'

I shall let you know how he plays

Depending on who you talk to, the funds received for the Joe's sale go from 'not a lot' to 'two bags of chips' do I certainly don't think that sale was keeping us afloat financially for too long
