accordin to sunday people paper

derby want brian howard and are set to offer cash plus lee holmes and darren moore

 

**** off.
They have no players who we would want.
Brian Howard is worth their whole bloody team.
Didn't rate them last season and wondered how they got to the Premier, I rate them even less this season.

 

If It's True.........

it would be a bad deal. We don't need more players and especially not fringe players at another club.

 

He's a damn cheek offering us players like that for Howard!

 

add Nyatanga to that list (plus the cash 1mill + ) and then just maybe

and a big maybe at that

 

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
He's an INSPIRATIONAL player.
They are rare.

 

and we are still a selling club unfortunately,only way we survive really, sorry but dems da facts

 

2.5 and Nyatanga...........

We'd have to accept that would'nt we? if a club comes in with 3 million for Howard you are crazy if you think we could reject that, we are club that struggles with attendences, 3 million is a hell of a lot of money for us, plus if a premeirship side comes in for him with a offer like that there is no way we could stand in super bri's way of playing in the worlds top league. Trust me there is no way i want to lose him.

 

finances are on an even keel

Although the money would be useful it would not be as useful as Brian Howard.

 

reality time, if a bid of the size suggested below or more comes in, say bye bye Brian Howard

no one wants to see him go, but the board see one thing and one thing only ££££££££££££££'s

 

RE: finances are on an even keel

They offer him 15K a week and a 3-year contract.</p>

There is nothing the club can do.</p>

 

Yes I know. The facts are there for us all to see, but it would be heartbreaking.

 

there is something they can do its called CASH IN, remember the Sol Campbell affair £7 mil lost

by the Yids, we cannot have that

 

Aye

but assuming there is interest in him why did they not sign him close season? why did he sign a new 2 year deal??

Every player has his price and should we recieve an approach then since he's under contract I would expect we would tout him around to the highest bidder.

Its also worth considering if BH would rather be a hero at Oakwell or a.n.other at a bigger club.

 

oh totally agree with you there tina, i would feel like i did when we lost Ward and higgy, but away from the financial side of it after the sterling service Howard has given us we just could not stand in his way of bettering himself, as too many championship clubs do.

 

If we want to do a Reading, a Wigan, a Charlton etc and make the Premier.

..we have to hold on to our best players. If the clubs I've mentioned had sold out in the Championship, they'd not have made it to The Premier. You have to take a stand somewhere if you really do aim high. Otherwise you're condemned to never reaching the top league.
Having said that, it's time that more people got down to Oakwell. Charlton yesterday 21,000, our average is around 10,000. We need more on the gate to give us a sounder financial footing so we can ignore approaches for our best.

 

Best Chance We Have........

of the board turning down cash for him, is for stay away fans to come back. More fans watching will mean more money coming in and then the board won't feel as much that they have to sell him. The home crowds have been shameful this season.

 

5 million!

come on mate get a grip, a personally think brunt and super bri are of more or less are of equal standard, this is exactly why too many foriegners come to the prem because they can get international players for that!
