So - it was Kris Boyd and now it's Tommy Wright and James Hayter. I'm not sure what to believe on this - on the optimistic side, we are actively looking to strengthen the squad with players who will help win the promotion run-in and would be at home in the Championship. On the pessimistic side, are we going to be able to compete with other bidders - do we think we made a definite bid for Boyd, or was it agent talk? Won't the same thing happen with Hayter? I would imagine that a good few sides will look at him and he would choose a southern Championship side, given a number of options. Best chance for us would be Tommy Wright, I would think. Other thought - if we are genuinely in for the likes of Boyd and Hayter, is a player on the way out in order to finance the deal? There might be a player we could cash in on before they leave for free in the summer. I am just thinking McPhail, or Shuker - hope not, but, if a good offer came for either from a Championship side, it would be best to have some replacements already lined up, wouldn't it? Probably all just speculation, but with a hint of truth at the club gossip stage.
If McPhail went would we be that bothered really. I get the impression that Kell is nearly ready and having seen him play is a better option than McPhail and Burns anyway. Howard plays in Mcphail's position and I think is a better player with a greater goal threat. If we can get a fee for him or just simply get his wages off the payroll and replace his wages with someone else then I would not be too upset.
RE: Yes he does... He owns the club and jointly owns the land with the council. Why, who do you think owns the club? Please empart your knowledge on us.
RE: Big Gord Owns The Club Itself... He is the Chairman only. He works for the club for free but does not own the club.
RE: Big Gord Owns The Club Itself... Have a look at the companies house records for the football club. Patrick Cryne is NOT a shareholder and therefore does not own the club FACT
RE: Big Gord Owns The Club Itself... If you are going to post FACTS, at least get them right. Patrick owns the company that opns BFC. Just because he isnt a director means nothing. FACT. FACT. FACT. FACT. FACT. FACT.
RE: Big Gord Owns The Club Itself... No he does not, unless it has recently changed, he is NOT a director of BFC 2002(?)Limited and neither is any company. He is a director of Oakwell Community Assets, which owns the land assets.
