Doh, silly me. yep it's a disgrace that of all the teams in the top 5 tiers, we are the only one that has failed to accumulate substantial cash reserves. "It's not like we are sitting on massive cash reserves" "And who's fault is that ? " "The chair man" "Why ?" Because we are sitting on chairs instead. (I am still available for pantomime bookings )

All the Darrell Clarke seems to do is sign players he knows already has worked with etc, surely this means there are loads more players out there not even on the clubs radar. Have they sorted out any kind of scouting network yet? Seems as long as we are being just about successful enough to keep people quiet, nothing gets done or changed, hardly shows any amount of ambition. So has DC worked with Mansell, Leadbitter, Trotman, Gosling, Delle-Verde, Cunnington & Martin in the past? Even if we had the best scouting network in the Conference it still wouldn't make Easter etc sign for us unless we offered them the deal they wanted.

You just might if you know and respect the manager It will get easier to attract other players if the club stays in the play-off positions - and the player can see good prospects of a promotion

i was thinking go for a league 2 striker on the same wages as lee brown/tom parkes but a championship one on 3 times more again at least seems a bit silly to me Unless of course the lending club offers to pay part of the wages as we have done in the past. It would do them a favour as well because we would get him match fit. It does us a favour if he scores a few. As long as we don't do what we always seem to do and keep them warming the bench! And who is the lending club, any connections perhaps ?

My understanding is that the club had agreed to sign Easter until the end of the season at a much reduced wage and Easter was happy with that as he wants to move back nearer to Cardiff.
However, his agent then came back wanting a twelve month contract in view of the reduction of his wages and the Directors correctly told him what to do.
May I ask how you came by that "understanding "? Obviously not that good an understanding judging by some of the recent links posted on here.

Jermaine Easter has had positive talks with Darrell Clarke that is a fact!!! May I ask, why is that a fact? Looks like he may have had positive talks with DC, but the subject is likely nothing to do with football.

I hope the club are working bloody hard this morning to get Easter in the building... Surely he would be stand out Quality at this level! It looks to me like the manager and the squad need a lift and I think Getting Easter on board would give us all renewed impetuous and belief.
It would be a statement of intent from the club which would create belief and a little more unity between board and fans I think.
we need to keep the pressure on the board to make this happen..

Really hope we do land Easter -- as long as the terms are appropriate (no 4 year deals please...). Slightly concerned that DC has been forced to show his hand and flag our interest - there are a fair few clubs out there between us and the Championship who may have been alerted to his "availability" now. Not DC's fault I appreciate.

It's amazing how close Oxford or Wycombe or Plymouth become to South Wales when £s come into play! Unless of course Mr Easter is genuinely unlike any other footballer out there! Hope you're right though and I'm just a cynic / pessimist!
