Our big money sales

[Acido]

Hey guys it annoys me when people call us a 'selling club', and I think it makes it worse because begrudgingly, I/we know this and we have to accept that it IS true.

When have we ever sold a quality player, for so called good money, and then replaced them with somebody as or almost as good ?.

Remember when... David Currie went for about 700k. Carl Tiler went for about 1.5 mill AND Steve Agnew went for about 750k at the same time. Ashley Ward went for about 4.5 mill, and Conor Hourihanne & Sam Winnall both went for about £833 quid and a free monthly supply of cola bottle sweets.

And my question still is, have we ever replaced a quality player like those mentioned above for example, with somebody as good or at least almost as good ?.

Actually Roma, yes I think Andy Payton was a better replacement for Wayne Biggins, in season 93-94 I think ?.

Remember when we sold the great Ashley Ward at the end of '98, and we had to make do with the likes of Don Goodman & Mike Turner & Karl Rose in Jan '99 ?.
And then wow, our big money saviour, was of course, none other than..... Mike Sheron.

Sheron worra technically gifted player but wo far too lazy to prove it week in week art

Thats almost my point exactly Pass lol.
For me, I dont think he/Sheron should even have been mentioned in the same sentence as Ashley Ward (let alone be the man who he effectively replaced).
And when you think we got 4.5 mill for Ward, and Im still not sure what we spent on Sheron either... but that was another piece of appalling business by us as a club.
Sell high and buy low eh, and expect them to improve while we have them, so we can at least sell them for a profit etc.

We upgraded the ground with the Ashley Ward money rather than the team

Ashley Ward money went on North Stand , Some say it was the Carl Tiler sale which paid for EastStand ?

All a legacy of the Dennis Family , although I'm not sure if the North Stand (away) should have been built with a larger capacity than the Ponty End ?
At least we saw something concrete from the sales back then !!
Unlike today's current board
