    It all makes sense now! That's why Payne tweeted yesterday about wanting Tranmere to announce Vaughan had signed - he was obviously desperate to play for us! Poor lad must be devastated tonight.

    Ah hold on, if they get promoted, which they have a very good chance, they would be on an even footing with the rest of league 1. I've seen the light brother.

    So the club have it made plain to any player who joins us in the future on a good contract. Dont worry, if you dont like it here, just sulk, throw a childlike tantrum in training and create cryptic messages online, and we will gladly let you go for free to a more ambitious club, and as an added bonus we will pay you a nice severance package to boost your already bulging bank account

    Stefan Payne, I've actually seen him play! Used to knock them regularly at AFC Hornchurch in the Isthmian

    I bet the poor lad never even got a pizza and a guided tour of our stadium for his girlfriend either

    In a nutshell Idle
    We are a soft touch and it's known
    Imagine GR or ML presiding over the things that have gone on just lately

    I assume you mean a transfer fee. I'd be amazed if they had.
    We've been done over Park, like a kipper

    They haven't paid a transfer fee, Stuart confirmed it.

    So they offered us a free player at the start of negotiations.. We turned that down and ended up letting Vaughan just leave for nothing... What a laughing stock.

    We're probably the only club that spends more on paying players off than for paying fees for any incoming....

    Well if they were offering a player they must have paid something

    Got to admit we're getting really good at it though.

    Tranmere told Vaughan to just sulk more. It worked.

    Ridiculous that we handed a player of his age, character and recent history a three year contract. We've struck lucky that some other mugs are willing to take him on and we're not lumbered with him sulking for two more years.

    More mistakes like this in the salary cap era and we'll be hurtling towards the National League.

    The distance issue is rather pathetic. As you say he has been over the M62 enough times and although Bradford is a little further than Huddersfield, then anyone with a modicum of intelligence could estimate the additional transit time.

    Vaughan comes over, as someone who has a massive chip on both shoulders. The fact that he has been through 13 clubs and 18 moves suggests that he is constantly restless and is probably a disruptive individual.

    I am annoyed that he didn’t leave before the transfer cap came in. I hope it was a clean cut and that it was Contract terminated, full stop, not a penny.

    Rarely do I have feelings of intense dislike, but if Doyle and Vaughan return and I am at VP, then I will join in with giving them grief.

    I fundamentally dislike dishonesty and those two should never have signed for City if they didn’t want to play for the club. There have been different managers, so they cannot blame them. Vaughan could have put in a transfer request, he could have gone before the the rules changed.
