No money to spend on players

Post by itfcabingdon » Mon May 08, 2006 10:55 am

its certain now, with no £400,000 from Charltown for Benty making his competitive England debut. We wont get the money until September at the earliest, which means it cant be spent until January, but will have already been gobbled up by Sheepy, so we wont go up next season.

Glad I got that off my chest!

Thats an even bigger kick in the teeth. I was looking forward to bent making at least a substitute appearance, for the money for Ipswich and to see an ipswich old boy making an appearance, an ipswich connection to the world cup. Now we'll get neither.

Seems amazing that just about the whole country had their money, wives and season tickets betted on bent going to the WC - after the season he has had he does deserve it.

Nice to know that form doesn't come into it when you get picked for England. Why the fook is hargreaves picked to go??

This guy has never done owt in an england shirt ever. Whilst I would be all for walcott if we had 3 other fit senior strikers I couldn't justify throwing him in totally untried at premier league level.

But on the other hand he must be the freshest player in the whole country? :?

Yes I agree and Im sure that they didnt include that money in next years buget...they have learnt lessons...but Im sure that along with the rest of us it was felt that it was a sure thing.... Sheepy will be fuming, I went to a meeting with him a few days after the last qualifing game when Darren was on the bench but not used ...I cant repeat what he said about Sven :o :shock: :wink:
