YankeeCanary 0 Posted January 31, 2006 At first I felt the same way Mook. However, upon reflection, I''m not so sure. I never thought the Ashton recruitment was driven by Worthington...strictly a board investment decison I think. At this time of subsription renewals I think the Board knew some action was required and may have looked at Earnshaw ( a proven goal scorer at this level in particular ) and thought, even if we ultimately sell him, we can probably do so and recover most or all of our money. Earnshaw is still young. I personally think the decision has already been made on Nigel and he will go. I just would like to see a new manager in earlier rather than later to give us optimum time to prepare for a good effort next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted January 31, 2006 I kind of agree, Septic.A top manager assembles a squad by doing things like selling Hughes and bringing in three players who will be in the Prem next year. Anyone can buy success Fantasy Football style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Northern Canary 0 Posted February 1, 2006 i dont know at the moment. If he scores loads for us then its worth. If he doesnt then that extra money may not be payed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
