As I've said to you, I can come up with the £00k if you can manage the 5.....

He's going to bring a couple of players in and move five or six out?


That'll sort it...

:roll: :doh:

From Bucks Chat:

Watson's style of play does nothing to attract supporters, together with:
his poor decision to retain players who were in and out of the Conf North team, to play at Prem level;
the continual recruitment of ex-Scouseport mates;
his regular slagging off of named players on the radio;
the lack of urgent activity before the end of the transfer window.

What a shambles.

The only reason he is still with us is surely that we cannot afford to sack him


See, some clubs' fans don't like their manager, even after he's led them to promotion!
Kittrick quickly taking over where Watson left off!!

They might not quite be in crisis yet - but will be if this happens!

"Former QPR boss Harry Redknapp has been invited to join a consortium which is aiming to buy a club on the south coast, where he lives. The group have been looking at a takeover at League Two side Plymouth Argyle, Conference club Torquay United and Southern Premier League outfit Poole Town."

Yeovil Town have supposedly denied anything like this would happen there!

Be afraid, be very afraid.

Do just remember that he (claims, when it suits him, that he...) can't read or write so I'd love to know how he signs any consortium agreement....

I think he's commenting on the rumours rather than Redknapp...

That is a crying shame - and seemingly far more to do with the Co-op bank moving the goalposts than the club not being well-run... LCFC were featured in the excellent book "Matchday" * fairly soon after the Supporters Trust played a major part in restructuring the club and its finances and keeping it alive, they did and were doing a great job and I've no reason to suppose that that's changed.

I'm not normally an advocate of bigger clubs bailing out smaller ones (especially when the latter have just been mismanaged) but in this instance it would be nice if, say, either Manchester United or their Captain could spare a bit of their petty cash to keep Lincoln afloat

* very highly recommended
