Just over £2.3m a year basic pay is a LOT of money for a club of our side but it goes to show Stephens importance to the team and it would probably have cost us significantly more to replace him. A great bit of business.
We need a pic of the aforementioned scarves, these were on sale outside the Swan before the Bristol City game also. Also half and half scarves spotted for sale around the corner from Villa Park (sadly i didn't get a photo)
Lots of talk from varying sources today about this fella potentially joining us.
Thoughts? The new Kanchelskis?

Just got back from Birmingham and cannot pretend i'm still anything but gutted about missing out on the title. Yes, we've had a bloody amazing season that has exceeded all of our expectations, but when you are 7 points clear with three games to go, you have to be claiming that silverware and the...
I'd go:
Stockers
Bruno, Dunk, Hunnemier, Poco
March Sidwell Stephens Knocky
Murray and Baldock
Murphy, Kayal and Hemed on the bench give us decent attacking options if needed.
