As I said Alex is unaware of anything, however when MP said on the show that no-one would be sold, most people took that with a pinch of salt. We all know what the financial state of teh business is and if someone came in with a decent bid for Coxy, Jake and whoever we would have to look at it. If LDC persue this action and force a further PE, then those costs will have to be found ......one decent sale of say Cox for half a million would immediatly releive the situation.
the guy on the phone in last night reconed it would be a disaster if we went up.....therefore, if mid table is what people want, then surely cashing in on one or two players is not that much of a problem.
I personally would hang on to all of them and push for promotion...I want to see us playing against Championship teams rather than Cheltenham!!

Dave the Gaffer said:so you dont agree with the economics argument some people are peddling then?
I'd say hang on to Jake/Cox/Revell/Lynch til the end of the season as a minimum - if only to ensure the season ticket renewal rate if nothing else. They're only young kids, their value is hardly likely to decrease before the summer. In some cases it may actually double.
The Complete Badger said:Why the hell are we not giving him a new contract? He only signed up for a year, and it seems pretty obvious that come the end of the season we won't want to release him, so why not get him tied down to another couple of years now?
