    How good is 'Olly' doing at Blackpool not to mention our Summer target Charlie Adam

    Is it true that Simple Simon refused to meet the £500K valuation that Rangers put on his head cos from what I've seen he looks a snip at that price and would have been a great addition.

    Just think of the butterfly affect....

    Adam signs in July, we win a few games early in season, but lose more, sat a point outside bottom 3 come end-October, Adam gets injured and Davey gets sacked in January when 5 points from safety and we end up in L1.

    Well yeah, but Charlie seems to have settled in well and playing an integral part in their good start.

    No guarantee

    He's have settled in just as well with Barnsley. Players eometimes just find their feet at a club; it might not have worked for him at Oakwell. Good luck to him. And Olly - got a lot of time for him. Decent little club; nice to see them getting stuck in to the 'big boys'.

    Very rich President, Valeri Belokon. He announced a transfer fund with a "considerable amount" in it in the summer. I will bet that Charlie Adam is on higher wages than we can offer. There were rumours of 15k a week.
