The Noone transfer was still going ahead until the Brighton Chairman stopped it at about 3.00pm on the last day, when that fell through the club bid for Sordell and whilst the player was travelling to Cardiff bolton stepped in and outbid us. MM decided not to get involved in an auction for aplayer he knows very well and I think it is refreshing to have a manager who is so single minded he has the guts to say no. Even when he has £3-4m to spend.
Like everyone else I wanted to see us sign players but I bet MM already has a long list of players he wants to sign in the summer, and it is very likely some may cost very littleas the summer transfer window is a buyers market.Our club is being rebuilt from the bottom up with yet another piece of the jigsaw being opened yesterday with the new Academy centre in Treforest. It looks absolutely fantastic and it seems like only yesterday when the first team didn't have a training ground, as of yesterday our club has a fantastic home for our Academy.
When the Malaysians took overwe all wondered how they would look at the Academy well yesterday answered that for me.
These are fantastic times for our club and in my 47 years supporting the club it has never been better and I truely believe things are going to get a lot better.

Mate your about as sensible a poster as there is on here.
I'm a chopsy argumentative tw*t, I know that.
But as you say. Some people would rather ignore PLAIN FACT than admit the
people running the Club are the best thing thats happened since Sam first
walked in the door. They'd sooner hint at the fact that Malky is lying than
admit he had over £4m to spend, cos that would mean Vincent Tan is the
real deal!!!!

You just say it as you see it Taff nothing wrong with that. I know your abroad working at the moment but if you could see the new Academy Facility it would blow your mind, and this from a club where the first team were training on dogshit park a few years ago.
Slowly but surely this club is building a Premier League infrastructure and before long we will build a Premier League team I have absolutely no doubt about that.
Now lets hope we give the posh a right thrashing tonight, 1-0 off KM arse will do me, but a nice goal fest would do quite nicely.

If anything I would say we should have waited even longer before biddin for sordell. Certainly not earlier.

on behalf of Vincent Tan and said he'd bid over £4m for players?
Or was he instructed to make late bids, late bids that were soooooo late that no
way were we ever going to get in there.
Either way, some of the moaning fuckers on here who cannot praise Malky Mackay
enough are stabbing him in the back by suggesting he was lying about having money
to spend.
Some of you would sooner suggest our best manager since Eddie May is a lying cheating
two-faced tw*t than admit that the Malaysian owners are doing a good job.
ITS TRUE LADS... You cant have it both ways.
Its bordering on pathetic now to be honest.
The theories that bids went in so late DELIBERATELY, hoping that we would get away
with it are bordering on the ramblings of spoilt children.
Anyone worried about Malky Mackay leaving because he isnt being backed should be
more concerned that he'll leave because his ADORING supporters are calling him a liar!
The very thought that Malky is a cowering wreck afraid to speak his mind makes me
piss myself laughing.
