Interesting comment from Fitton.
"We have earmarked some of the money to strengthen the squad, and you should assume that we are already on the case in finding a replacement."
Sounds like Robinson may not be viewed as the replacement.

Well we knew this was going to happen. 2 million is a good deal really on the face of it. Let's just hope we actually sign some decent players with the money.

Good luck Coxy! It's much better for us to have this deal sorted now rather than in august.
However,there's now an awful lot of pressure on Wilson and Fitton to get the right players
in and to actually get them signed up! As well all know we've had a few problems in that
regard.I really hope that they can achieve this in all areas of the team.
I've just checked the WBA OS and it brings home the difference between the 2 clubs.
WBA's opening match of the 09/10 season is a home game with Newcastle.
They report back for training next friday,nice new Umbro Kit as well.

Good luck Coxy, you put more effort in just one game than most the squad did in the entire season.
you will be missed by every single Town fan.
I got a feeling he will be quality in the championship now.
you will get a great reception for the Town faithful when ever you play against us im sure.

Reading on the WBA forum, they aren't exactly inspired by his signing. Oh and Cox....not exactly Zidane is he? It not as if it is an earth shattering transfer. Good luck to him, a good move if it finalises. Wierd that they are signing him without having a manager in place though. |

Yeah it is especially after it was Mowbray who was interested as well. Wonder if Celtic will try and hijack the deal?

I read from one of the links posted earlier today, in this thread, that they are announcing someone today. Unless i just made that up,which i probably did. |

One of the reports I ahve seen says the deal is done for Cox but WBA need to confirm with their new manager whomever that is (rumoured to be PNE's gaffer) whether he wants the player.

Well putting 2 + 2 together and getting 5 we have the new WBA manager then mate. I know Irvine has been touted as new manager but I understood Preston refused permission tor talks. |

I am pleasantly surprised by the £2 million fee (accepting, of course, that we will not see all of that sum with payments to Reading FC etc.) If he had gone for £1.25 million, I would not have batted an eyelid.
A very tidy piece of business that would not have been possible if we still had cowboys in the boardroom. Good luck Simon, and well done Messrs Fitton and Watkins. We seem to be doing business like a proper football club again.
