Cravats arent cheap you know! :) :)

[quote="Fonda"]Someone in their boardroom does know how to negotiate a transfer deal though...

They wouldn't have got as far as they have, had they not had the ability to squeeze every last penny of worth out of every player they lose.[/quote]


I wouldn't dispute that at all.

It does appear however that their "suits" seem to be taking up a large percentage of said transfer fees ;-)

Think I might start supporting Exeter actually - less miles to travel for starters, attractive football, and a bloody good smartly dressed manager to boot.
Supporting Torquay is bad for your health.....anyone got the samaritans number..... :O

Quite right Fonda - they have consistently got good money for average players.

So well-run that only a matter of a few weeks ago they were almost cashless, couldn't borrow money by way of a loan, and needed desperately to get a game on or they were in deep financial shit. They aren't as safe as you might assume.

At this moment in time it is. Fortunes change, in a week, sometimes less than a week, and then turn around in a week or less.

Remember last season before we went on the end of season run ?

In the words of Sherman tank commander, Sergeant Oddball (Kelly's Heroes) :

[b]"HAVE A LITTLE FAITH !"[/b]

You're preaching to the converted Oddbod, some of us at TUFC don't do little.

Its the only well run one - thats for certain

[quote="Southampton Gull"]No[/quote]

No also.

I would rather we waved at them as we pass by , us up, them down.

Don't be silly sir. For the foreseeable future were a decent league two club and long may it stay like that. As for Plymouth, I don't really know. I would sort of like them to come down so we can have a derby next year. If were still in league 2 that is ;-)

It appears that P.B. gets bored around the end of Jan. each year. He dumped Sills & Hargreaves last year, & has now returned Hemmings to Wolves, & got rid of "Poor&IneffectiveNickyWroe". Is he about to select Saul Halpin for an extended run in the team? Will he bring in a few decent loan players? How on earth did he get Morecombe to part with C.Stanley (Accrington to his friends :-D )? Who knows! I look forward to the remainder of the season.

Yeah, I'm certain that our board with a combined worth of £17,000,000 will allow our club, with a total value of £750,000, to go to the wall.

Matt.

I have read some nonsense on this board before but this is up there with the best of them!!
