    How much of that was down to Dyche I'm not sure Sub, he certainly has no say in how the money is spent now, that much is clear. Did he have more influence back then, or was he simply told, we're spending X amount on Gawthorpe and here's what you can spend on players ? I don't know, and as you often point out, none of us do, none of us knows exactly what goes on in our Boardroom.

    Aye, I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the moment, when they're discussing Tarko's big toe problem. Who knows what that fly could tell us ?

    It will go down in the annals of our club's history as the "Big Toekowski affair". £35 million is what Wet Spam are offering now. Terrier Taxis might be getting a fare imminently methinks.

    If that's the case BT you'd think it might do the trick, every man has his price and Mike certainly has his, which may be around £35 million smackers I would think.

    Trouble is sinkov, about £9.5 million of sell-ons is going to Brentford!
