tozer money

[lebowski]

apparently £250k up front.

£100k of that should be given to reading for their soon-to-be-out-of-contract striker that we have currently playing for us.

banging on the manager's door indeed.

i was going to post something about us never using transfer fees received to buy players...then optimism took over.

I'd be well happy if we signed Cox.

[adje]

I'd be well happy if we signed Cox.

especially for 100,000

indeed. Not fucking likely is it?

[Barry Scott]

I've heard that Reading are willing to sell him to us for around £50k-100k, as they're interested in Ifil.

[sonic youth]

ifil would be humiliated in the premiership

[Reg Smeeton]

It used to be the classic way, that having sold someone for big bucks, the Board would give the manager a few quid to buy someone else.

   So the sale of Bamber and Quinn (second time) bought Shearer.

    Hoddle used money from the sale if Kerslake to buy Moncur for 80K.

    The sale of Shearer bought Mitchell and Maskell....with about 450K profit.

     It was here that McMahon cocked up, insofar as he wasted sizeable sums and didn't leave many assets, from his player accumulation.

     probably his best deal was selling Allison for 800K and buying Ndah for 500K....someone who we got a mill plus for.

Indeed, the genial sale of JAF for a little over a mil and then wasting £340,000 on the alleged footballer that was J Drysdale esq. is a case in point.  For £100k Cox would be a good buy, personally doubt if we'd get him for that though.

My plymouth fan boss was a bit gutted when I told him the return we were making on Tozer after 6 months when plymuff let him go for free.

Please Sir, I had slmost forgotten about that whole saga.

I may stand to be corrected, but did Tosser McMahon not let OST go fo a pittance (Possibly even a free), yet OST won player of the year for Shitty, NO, the WHOLE LEAGUE below us the following year. It was under McMahon's reign that so so many of our legends left, were sold.

JAF, OST, Digby, ect

I detest that man with a passion

[mattboyslim]

No no no BR, you forget the worst of it all,  he sold OST for £100k and replaced him with the portly ex-Wimbledon 'legend' that is Gary Elkins!!!

As for Digby IIRC the story that went round was that as he wasn't keen to indulge in after match drinking sessions and went back home to his family McMahon made him a bit of an outcast.  Dunno how much truth there was in it, but nonetheles no excuse for casting out our finest ever number 1.

[DV]

on the flip side McMahon walked this piss poor division and almost got us to a Major Cup final....

.....When I think of McMahons time in charge I always think of the good times first....

[Reg Smeeton]

TBF to McMahon.....when JAF went he had lined up Ian Marshall as a replacement....it was Marshall and Drysdale,  coming in for the JAF money.

  The deal fell through on deadline night and left us up the Swanny.....subsequently, Marshall went to Leicester under O'Neill and did rather well.

  It was players like Thorne, Cowe, Bullock and Culverhouse who although not absolutely wretched, cost us a mill and we got 500K back.

[McLovin]

I loved Ian Culverhouse...
