It will probably be our luck that he rejects us & goes to QPR.

Seriously though , I hope he stays but not at the expense of bringing new players in... - view external link

Or does this suggest, despite Sullivan saying we'll spend big, that no-one else will touch us with a barge-pole ?

Unfortunately that looks to be the case.

I think to attract someone capable of doing what we need will take a huge lump and a very short contract. Think it would be cheaper to get rid of the one that caused the problem.

he is a champ player at most that is why they want to exstend his contract wen we go down.
