We were told we wouldn’t sell any of the Crown Jewels but 3.5 million later Earnie was gone, Danny G too. All players have a price and players want to play at the highest level they can.

Cant help it Neil can you, bringing those days up, he kept the squad together for years and gained two promotions, NO relegations and left us top of the Championship.
At one stage we had 8 or 9 Welsh players
And as you rightly have said, he was stabbed in the back, money ran out due to New Stadium etc.
This bunch of clowns keep promising something new every couple of years and now their latest one is to make the first team all local players and Academy players, and only doing this to save money , NO passion about it or feeling and as you all can see it it was not working as it could not, throwing them all in the deep end, as if not good enough still thrown in.
Steve Morison is a breath of fresh air and honest about it![]()

I bring it up as it’s relevant to the post.
There are very few clubs who can afford to keep players once their head is turned.
We have always sold our best players when a team in a higher league came knocking. That’s just football.
