So who was the player we nearly signed on Wednesday according to the club website? Whoever he was he is now playing in the German League. Maybe Mcghee is talking about Iwelumo?
Seems strange how the Argus have not mentioned anything about these trialists. I would have thought one of their sports Journos would have gone down to Falmer as soon as they heard about it. Maybe the club has asked them to keep quiet about it for a bit?
I always though the decision would be made before the parade on the 18th July. I just can't see the club / police / council going ahead with the parade if a decision has not been made. I'm not saying there would be a riot, but you don't want thousands of people gathered in central Brighton...
Well I don't think it is today. ODPM press release for the 12/07/04 is some drivel about how much house prices have gone up this year. Maybe tomorrow then?
ODPM news releases are usually around 11am to Midday. I guess this will be most likely place to hear any news first? ....... If there is any news today!
I think the decision was 99% made before the 30th June deadline. They just had to announce a final final final deadline to make sure no one could say they did not have a chance to reply to the earlier replies by all the parties. All that has happened since then is a tidying up exercise cross...
How come the new club shirt design has found its way onto this guys website? It seems strange that he knows the design before it has been officially announced.
The bloke is an idiot! What sort of advice did he get from his agent? Offered a 2 year contact with a Div 1 team, living the good life on the South coast of England, with no real risk of losing your first team place but thought the grass was greener somewhere else.
The bonus for us is it has freed up some more dosh for wages for new players, and we don't have to pay Stoke the transfer fee that was due to them this season- a few more £££'s in the kitty for Mcghee.
I use wanadoo 512K @ £17.99 a month with free and modem and connection. It is supposed to be limited to 2GB a month but I don't think this service limitation is active yet.
Interesting report.
Notts County signed 26 players last season!
Derby County blew nearly 300K on agents fees whilst at the same time being on the brink of administration. That is nearly a quarter of the entire 1st Div total for agents fees!
Lots of contracts run out today so I hope to see a bit of Bosman transfer activity tomorrow. This will be a good test of Mcghee's ability to attract decent players to our club.
