    "...not get into a bidding war with clubs with higher financial muscle than us." ... and no harm in bidding up the price to use up the resources of the other clubs. Just don't get caught as the last bidder :)

    Sounds like a summer of change is coming at Stockport. Their journo saying a fair few knew it would be their last game for them in an emotional dressing room after the game.

    How much do we reckon Kyle Wootton would cost? If the internet is correct, he’s 30 in October and has 1 year left on his contract.

    He'd be a decent replacement for Kelly.

    Wootton is not a defender by trade so he wouldn’t be a replacement for Kelly

    I guess the Colne Valley Canine (pooch) Club may have some dosh. I would guess that Leicester and Luton are in a financial mess. Sheffield Wednesday are unknown but have been in a tail spin.
    So, honest question, who are the ‘big spenders’ what evidence is there, in the public domain.
    If Salary Cost Management Protocol is actively adhered to then how are these smaller clubs with a lower support/turnover, going to be in a stronger position?
    I supose Stockport could well be bankrolled, but struggle to see above else, who will have substantial extra funds.

    I think he was taking the piss. Wooton would be an very good signing but I dont see it happening.

    I'm sure that whoever we sign we won't know who they are. Every transfer window plays out like this with the odd exception

    Why do you support this club? Seriously. You kmow our budgets are never huge. Never have been in my 45 years. Do you prefer the budget of Huddersfield and Leeds? Reynolds and make your posts relevant.

    Why Chellenor subbed off the best forward on the field,Ibrahim, for him to storm off down the tunnel. Weird decision .?

    I assume you mean Adama Sidibeh? Who indeed was excellent in that first half.

    Signed during this years January window from St Johnstone.

    Yes , sorry a rushed post. Bolton were terrified of his pace over the top , yet for some strange reason he was taken off . City handled him far better by not sitting so far forrad . County were very disappointing and everyone who said the winners would come from the City V Bolton semi were right. The other half of the semi was by a mile the easy route.
