Maybe the case- but would have been wise to have kept t hat under wraps.
Giving fans the impression that we arent going the extra mile for the right player aint gonna help th £6k cause

For your information, have had a season ticket for the last 20 years. I will still go free transfer/no free transfer. The point i was making is that it may have been a good idea to keep quiet about playing budgets/transfer fees- comments like those from Maplas may not help the cause as some people will wait to see the team before they commit. Thats all

Thats all Bart you say the above is what you meant but this is what you actually said " Looks like we are limited to free transfers then" Excuse me if i did not quite fuckin understand that :roll:

Giving fans the impression that we arent going the extra mile for the right player aint gonna help th £6k cause they aren't after 6 grand, I think they're fairly minted.

"And also I would imagine that Cheltenham would be asking for a fee, so that rules us out anyway."
I assume he means substantial fee. I'd hate to think we can't afford any kind of fee and would be limited soley to free transfers. we won't be spending money on players such as Gillespie I think. Theyn did day they would spend if the right player became available but it would need to be a player they could get a substantial return on. I read that as meaning some bright prospect from an Academy at Prem tem, someone who with a few seasons of first team football behind them could be worth multiples of any fee we pay. I think we are ruling out paying for lower league bits and pieces players, the sort who are 27 had a good year here and there but not likely to bring in cash later on when they leave us. Sort of Bill Paynter ish type players I guess, or Gillespie!

Exatly at this time of year there arel oadsd of players being released . out of contract so it is up to the manager to get it right to pick up a few bargains, with a decent scouting network in place though I'm sure they are aware of some of the decent players.
