Well everybody is speculating as to who might come in so who would add value to the team given the limited resources that Bates will make available. We need to sign some proven players and the only name I have heard mentioned is Ameobi who may be ok for this division. Again Beckford will be ok if he stays, but I think he will go to Everton or Newcastle - and in my opinion is not a EPL player. Not sure about Collins either, but who else is available in our price bracket? My fear is a load of loan players who will not be up for it!

Has anyone seen Bessone play? Another freebie, and although his pedigree is similar to Bechio's I hope he is as good. How come Wikipedia know all the signings before we do?
I've always thought Smudger would come back one day as he is LU through n through.
How...
I've always thought Smudger would come back one day as he is LU through n through. However, Bates will have to put his hands in his pockets to get the quality we need.

3 - 1 In Norway and by all accounts a very good victory. Sam looks like he is proving himself and Becchio with another brace. Lets hope Snodgrass hasn't been maimed. A draw or win on Saturday should set us up nicely confidence wise for the Derby game, when it would be really nice to send Cloughie away with his tail between his legs.

Well said Andy! For all of Bates's faults I do not believe him to be a liar. If BJ has behaved in the manner described then it is good riddance to bad rubbish, and along with Jez I won't be sorry. He obviously believes our promotion was entirely down to him, and maybe he should take stock as to his true value, which is not as high as he thinks. I know many players in the past who have overruled their managers in contract negotiations because they truly love the club they are playing for, which is obviously not the case as far as BJ is concerned. The quicker he goes the better and we will surely find a player better than he will ever be!

This is a very worrying subject Andy. Bates is obviously in the driving seat but the money men behind him are obviously dodgy otherwise there would be nothing to hide. Obviously now the money must be Mafia, and they won't want to lose a penny, never mind taking a risk and spending money on players. Bates will be taking instructions and knows he can not break them otherwise he won't have any knee caps. Watch the directors box for shady characters kissing both his cheeks!!
