Not forgetting the company Bentley he drove

There was a guy who sat in front of me in the Midland Stand who purchased some shares in the club and was saying he got a very good dividend pay out, he now sits near me in the Sunwin and we still have a bit of banter regarding those days.
He also got most of his 25 year season ticket money returned as he purchased it through his credit card and as we were classed as creditors after the second administration he claimed it back through a section 75.

 

Well find some way to *@?$ it up, it's the Bradford way.

 

Liverpool ffs belter that one

 

It was all the duff, has beens on massive wages, that sunk city in the second premier season. When city stayed up they should have gone for young championship players, not wage stealers, that were signed. With out Richmond City would never have seen the top league.

 

I don't think he posts here, mate, sorry!

 

I wasn't sure about this idea of a 25 year old inexperienced keeper commanding a fee, but then apparently Shamal George of Colchester went to Livingston for around £87,500.

He's also 25, virtually the same level of experience, virtually the same pedigree...

I guess it's possible we could get £100,000 for Lewis - but I can't see us selling, and he's a Hughes man, so if the gaffer remains, I'd like to imagine Lewis will too.

 

But is tipped for next big move. Colchester mucked up. That doesn't automatically set the bar. If you want another scenario. Paulo Gazzanagia. Gillingham to Southampton, 3.15m in 2012

 

Wasn't he a lot younger than Lewis though?

That's like comparing Chelsea's purchase of Ethan Ampadu at 16 to a lad who is 21. They're always going to pay far more for youth because they can coach them for years.

 

So is Shamal George.

Next stop Rangers apparently.

But more likely is he leaves on a free, as clus rarely but L2 goalkeepers. There's no point.

 

On the flip side, they stop developing and hit a skill ceiling , that why they end up flooding the market with discarded young players Jon? Chelsea are masters at hoovering up kids, yet very, very very few actually make the grade?

 

I personally wouldn’t class Rangers , lower mid PL , over a full season .

 

Real deal players don't move to Livingston

 

All I saying is there is an alternative so I dont think the 85k sets a bar. Yes Lewis is older but he has spent time at a Premiership side so not much difference from what a youth keeper would do.

 

Thanks for the link BB, yes a great article about a great guy and footballer.

 

A very honest interview certainly with regards our last game after being on the celling at Gillingham to the downer of Crewe, not sure we didn't deserve a point at Crewe coming back from a 2 - 0 deficit but he didn't try and make excuses for the back 5, including himself.

 

Lewis should stay at City next season as he’s not the finished product. Unless a ridiculous offer comes in for him.

 

He has performed consistently well all season with some pressure blips. Great guy too. Who in our side as not been at it all season? Very few.
