We sell Crowley and it's the begining of the end for the board. We've had 5 or so years of stability but if they pull their pants down anytime someone waves a bit of cash and the fans will not be happy

It will be undisclosed of course but if its less than 500k would be a travesty. I think it will be more than a bit of cash but the lack of investment into the squad as it stands is a worry. I assume the Williams money was used to build the Nest and get jatta.Quote:

We can't have another Rodrigues situation imo.Quote:

As for Crowley that would be a massive blow and we haven’t got a replacement for him. Langstaff I saw differently as I think Jatta was always the insurance for that happening.
Crowley was at one time the next big thing when he was coming through at ArsenalQuote:

I just think we've been a bit complacent with Crowley
Are i see so if that's the case it backs my point further that the owners know how to find value then. Saying selling Crowley would be the beginning of the end for the owners is a bit OTT wouldn't you agree?Quote:
