Iraq lose. Kasim comes through the tournament uninjured.

If somebody could now wrap him in cotton wool and hide him somewhere for the next 3 days that'd be great.

Apparently according to the OTIB 82ers forum we have rejected a bid of €2.5m (£.17m) from Sevilla, of course they are "in the know" as to what is happening at our club whereas we aren't. http://www.otib.co.uk/index.php?/topic/167463-swindon-january-sales-starting-late/One post earlier stating Luongo was on loan with us says it all. And for those who don't like to read about what others are saying then please don't read it. |

That'll be scaring them shitless. |

Also, they seem to know that any money accrued would go straight in Power's pocket.
Just like the money from Louis' sale - oh, hang on, didn't we fork out £200,000 for Beaker.

I like the latest comment on there about him. If they didn't sell him at that price they'd be silly How the fucking fuck does he know what his true value is? what a twat. |

More to the point, it could have been a '50K now, 200K when he scores 8 goals in the World Cup final whilst his leg is in a bowl of set concrete' type deal structure.

Exactly, and as we are in no rush for the money then we can ask for what the hell we like, all up front if we so wish and double that amount even, we are under no pressure to sell financially or because we have an unhappy player....we can take our time and get the right deal for the club and player or if we go up maybe even keep him. |

Sorry, but just to pick up on the point about us not being in a 'rush for the money' which appears to be a fairly prevalent train of thought amongst a fair percentage of posters. I'm confident we have the financial resources to see out the season and beyond into next. I'm not sure where we stand on gate receipts/attendance etc that were poignantly mentioned by MrP earlier in the season and our break even point. While MrP is a resident of Switzerland, he doesn't appear to be an Andrew Black and he has already stated, from pretty much day one, that balancing the books is key to his Modus Operandi. With that in mind, and I personally value Mass, around the £2.25 mark (assuming the Asia Cup results in an Australian victory), I'm not convinced that MrP wouldn't accept a deal, clearing £1m for the Town and getting the money into the club. Having said that, either way, whether we sell or not, it's a bit of a gamble. |

Ironically they probably would have accepted that |

Don't forget the sponsorship amount coming in from the Aussie company this month which will help the shortfall in gate income over the last few weeks. |

I agree, it's gone very quiet on that.

Sam Morshead said on a webchat yesterday that its going to be announced next week so as not to upset some other sponsors or something. Sam, if you're out there can you clear this up?
