Shame as we needed the money - but Iffy needs to be allowed to do his job and keep us up, with no interruptions...
I'm sure survival is worth more than 100k Absolutely, they've made the right decision. |

News of the Screws has Big Ron in hospital at the moment. Quite serious as well.
Seems like a good move to be honest though.

Bad news. I was looking forward to that. I'm looking forward to staying up more than watching some piss-poor documentary about how we went down. Priorities. |

And if we stayed up then the documentary wouldn't have been about us going down and could've been very entertaining. It's a shame.

Good news!! I was always weary of this whole thing, and Iffy's proved once again that he knows what he's doing.

I think after fallon going and not spending any cash iffy could make a decision.
Fair play and he has us staying up, I am certain of it

For those who haven't seen this yet, yesterday's Mail on Sunday had an interesting snippet that may explain some of the "back-story" to all this. (Quoting Andrew H's post)
Interesting snippet in Ian Ridleys column in the Mail on Sunday today talking about the documentary obviously before it was known it was being shelved.
According to Ridley, Iffy was talking to a "lower league striker" about a move in the transfer window but didnt follow up the call so the striker called him and was told that Atkinson had signed Trevor Benjamin from Peterborough.
Ridley was, maybe still is, heavily involved at Weymouth, and knows Steve Claridge well from that, so possibly he is the "lower league striker". In any case, its an interesting story. Could be there is more to this than has been said so far.

Yes, Iffy was interested in a couple of strikers, (and I cannot pass any comment on your speculation Paul!), but Ron did make a couple of suggestions to Iffy after the Southend game, one of which was Trevor Benjamin. Ron contacted Barry Fry, who subsequently contacted Iffy to confirm the player was available and, eventually the deal was done. I can confirm that Iffy definitely wanted to bring Trevor in, once we realised he was available and what the deal entailed.

Sounds fair enough to me. At least big Ron did something useful in his time here :|
