Concrete lid on the Gawthorpe Black Hole..?

[sinkov]

You love splitting hairs don't you sinkov? He's out of the Development Squad, cost us next to nowt and he looks to me like he could make it in the EPL.

You started this thread about our Academy players BT, Jimmy Dunne is a product of Manchester United's academy, not ours. He's actually yet more evidence that we can, and do, manage perfectly well without a costly and time consuming Academy, as I keep pointing out.

sinkov --interesting thought about our costly and time consuming Academy -----you are aware that it was Sean Dyche who was the driving force in getting this off the ground and who was willing to forego money for players when we were promoted under his guidance the first time.

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.

Oh to be a fly on the wall, eh sinkov.

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 ?

[sinkov]

Dunne was impressive and handled his EPL debut very well I thought. Playing alongside Mee will do him a power of good, because the way things are looking Tarkowski is off.

I was quite impressed with Jimmy's tackle on Charlie Taylor for their first goal, poor Charlie didn't see him coming and didn't know what had hit him, how he didn't get a yellow for that I'll never know.

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!
