Not strictly true about ellis he was happy to stay and sign a new contract.ask his mum.and as for the price before he signed for ipswich tony Mowbray made a counter offer of more and cash up front but was told no because a deal had been agreed.bodin went 3 days into the window if we had held our nerve for a few weeks we would have got more.it's just a case of being weak negotiating and grabbing the cash.gd would be turning in his grave Ok, we might have squeezed more out of Preston. Tbh, he went for his worth. In my opinion. You can argue about another few grand til cows come home, ok we didn't get FULL potential, but we were up there in 90% and always risked the potential him leaving for nowt later on. The same with Ellis. If Ellis truly wanted to stay, he would have. Simples. Mum or not. Both wanted the move for their own reasons and whom would blame them? The key is, if we would have accrued an extra 25% more revenue, do you really think the playing squad would have seen that whole funding benefit? In my opinion both deals were good business for the club at the time. It's only later, when no replacement has superceded we are all bemoaning the facts.. I was surprised he didn't go in January as I posted last year after the Blackburn game and seeing Mowbray talking to him at the end of the game for quite a while.but I think ms had a lot to do with the Ipswich game but when you look at how things have mapped out it is going to cost more than the 750k if as seems likely we go down

There's a long way to go and who knows where Ellis or we (as a club and fans) will be in 7months time. Maybe not as far away as we are now, perhaps a bit closer... ? ...

Or more likely further apart unless the club can find someone who can put the ball in the net regularly. I think the next 2 games are pivotal in how the season pans out.we need a minimum of 1 win and a draw if not I fear the worst

Any thoughts on Danny Rowe of Fylde? We would probably have to pay £200k.

I hope our season doesn't pan out on just our next two matches. Oxford and Wimbledon shouldn't dictate us....it should be the other way round. And if we falter, lets put up a fight away to Barnsley. Play two up front and go at them.. I'd rather go down fighting together.

We are in the top 5 or 6 for crowd attendance, we sold a few players for decent money, where is the money for buying players good enough to get us out of this league..? there must be some good funds available from those sales for DC and his wish list for January before it is too late and the season is gone.

Another interesting point on attendances, in our last years at eastville we were getting half what we get now, ditto promotion success at Twerton built on half this. The counterweight would be with silly tv money paid in at the top, then divided out on mindboggle wages, it’s caused wage inflation right down the football Pyramid. Fans may look at good attendance and think of strength (say compare our gates with Fleetwoods) but it’s probably philanthropist owners and over draft facilities right down into non league. Going back to a gut feeling avrg att last few years nearly double last years at Eastville (maybe someone can find the actual stat) a question does occur to me: why? We had never even been basement or non league team in those days unlike recently. UWE growth?
