    And they sold him to Coventry in January for over £5m, loaned him back for the rest of the season. Barnet bagged over £1m from that transfer as part of their sell on but they'll be loving life when Ronnie Edwards is sold as Barnet have a 50% sell on fee. If he goes in the summer and Barnet come up through the play offs, they'll have a HUGE kitty to spend.

    We spoke about Ivan Toney many times during his loan spells and wondered why no one gave him a chance, Posh backed their judgement and the lad went on to prove he can score at all levels given the right service, good luck to Posh.

    And he still can not see the club. I wonder if he is over pricing it like our owner?

    seems a lot of bonuses to offer players for a cup that doesn’t pay out that much prize money

    I was listening to Barry Fry on talksport today and he said he owed his life to DA because he was in real debt until he bought the club from him. He also mentioned Ferguson and how successful he’d been, which I wasn’t aware of. He’d had something like 4 promotions with Peterborough and won 2 EFL trophies, plus success with Doncaster. You could call them the dream team who know what each other needs. Chances could be that Ferguson might be asked to come along if he did take over.

    But the £250k bonus payment quotes is more than the £100k prize for winning the final

    It is, but there is no reason to doubt him, it came straight from the horses mouth on Talk Sport, and he may be a bit gobby, but what he says in generally accurate.

    I guess success breeds success and he is taking a gamble that winning it will rub off on the rest of the season and lead them into a play off winning position.

    But they'll have had income from prize money from the earlier rounds, and a share of tv money and gate receipts from their run, including the Wembley crowd.

    DMAC swears and tells it like it is on a podcast, so is clearly a brilliant businessman. There's no way he would sign off on contracts that would see his club lose out.

    Success always comes with a price, ask Geoffrey Richmond, the deal McCall struck with him instead of the original proposal put forward by Geoffrey proved to be a winner for the players who backed themselves with regards where they would finish that season rather on a weekly finish in the league table.
