£70k is a decent fee for what is an unproven youngster. Good luck to him.

£70k is is a massive investment for Torquay, their 2nd highest transfer fee after the £75k they paid Peterborough Utd for Leon Constantine in 2004.

That would be a good fee with add-on's attached and a sell on clause, maybe depends on the terms of the offer though if it is a straight fee or dependant on him reaching targets
They are obviously desperate to sign him though - let's hope that it does not leave a problem for his father at the club must be difficult for him

Any news on the "changes" PDC was whittling on about after pubgate? The rant when he said to the effect of the youth team were also unprofessional.
I feared Bodin Snr was in the firing line, but hopefully its blown over/unrelated to him.

It was clearly a backhanded insult to bodin snr.
Of course Di canio is entitled to that opinion. Dunno how he'd conclude it when he has never wathced the youths though

He might have seen youth team players shuffling back from Burger King on a matchday. That would have told him all he needed to know.

I dont think Bodin Senior will be around for too long if jnr does go. A guy from the gulls forum who claims to have swindon conections (seemed to know about the 70k bid before it was officially announced) and suggested this to be the case. Id imagine snr would have been bitterly disappointed with PDC's stance with regard to Billy as any father would be and with the swipe at the unprofessionalism of the youth team i cant believe that relations between bodin snr and PDC are great. Id imagine both will look to pastures new.

Even the best Father/Son football partnerships split up. To expect it any other way is naive to say the least. Ask Blair Sturrock.
The youth team comment, on the other hand, might be enough to do it. Who's Torquay's youth coach?
I'd take a Ling, Taylor, Bodin management team (with Easton as fitness coach) back here once Paolo's moved on.

Ex-players haven't worked out too well for us as managers recently. Not sure why we'd want to change from giving an ex-star player their first management job which has always worked well. |

Only as a kid so too young to really remember but I wouldn't want that managerial team for footballing reasons. |

I've never understood why, when a managerial vacancy comes about, so many fans want a favourite ex-player to take over.
Surely the best man for the job is the only consideration, not just because he was a good player for the club years ago
