    What a wonderful, glorious morning it is. Do you ever get tired of looking silly Fordy, or are you just used to it by now....???

    One thing that has been apparent from the new transfers is how most of them know Bowyer to varying degrees and how they all speak well of the respect they have for him. Players who want to play for the manager will give everything for the shirt. Its whats impressed me about Bowyer and this pre season, the players actually want to be here.

    I’m going to make a film series about this -

    The Vaughan Identity - a film where viewers are believing that James Vaughan is due to sign but with a mega plot twist it turns out to be John Vaughan

    The Vaughan Supremacy - Having believed they'd captured their man suddenly Tranny Rovers come in out of the blue and try to tempt Vaughan to join them. The power is in Vaughan’s hands. What will he do?

    The Vaughan Ultimatum - Gary Bowyer gets pissed off and rings Vaughan to tell him to make his fkin mind up

    The Vaughan Legacy - plot line to be confirmed......

    Very pleased with this, a real statement of intent, following on from Donaldson and Paudie signings.

    I admit, I was very sceptical of City being able to pull this one off, despite all the rumours, just didnt think he would drop to league 2.

    Starting to feel excited about the coming season now, despite relegation to league 2

    Well done to all at City responsible for pulling this one off

    That announced budget seems to be stretching a long way

    Doyle needed a player more like Donaldson than Vaughan.

    Budget permitting, I hope we keep Doyle. You need at least 3 senior strikers

    Vaughan won't even be on anywhere near 5 grand a week. About half that, would be my guess.

    He'll be a very wealthy man and for all his quality, a mixture of injuries and joining successful clubs who've had real depth of quality, he hasn't nailed down a regular spot for 3 or 4 years.

    Maybe he just wants to join a club where he'll play regularly and at a level where he believes he will score a lot of goals and have some fun....

    I'd be delighted if and when this comes off.

    Let's all calm down.

    Just to remind those who want to argue the toss about anything else, this is a thread relating to a possible signing by the name of James Vaughan. Let's curtail discussion about anybody else on this thread. If you wish to contain arguing and bickering between yourselves about other things, we'll be looking at what else to do with the posters involved.

    Paudie for me, the lad looks a natural leader.

    I'd be happy with players such as Vaughan,POC, Donaldson, Mellor and Scannel in our squad if we were after promotion from league 1 never mind league 2. A few more quality additions and we'd look very strong.

    Shout out to Rupp too. no chance has the income from season tickets alone funded the likes of Vaughan etc.

    More great drama. Just need Richard Hillman too show up and drive into the river with him and Gail Platt, too top it off.

    Why is he surplus? there's nothing in the rules that says we can't have 3 good strikers.. it's a long arse season, they can all play their part

    I would rather have the experienced likes of Vaughan and Donaldson next season to try and get promoted at the first attempt, than bringing in someone like George Miller, who had the pace, but he ran around like Bambi on ice, and was truly awful

    Age is completely irrelevant if your football IQ is higher than the level you are playing, I give you Jamie Cureton as an example.

    At City we normally buy the bag and get the footballer for free.

    You maybe right you maybe wrong, who knows, but one thing is for certain is that @Faithful Bantam@Faithful Bantam has been right all along, now is the time to show humility and give him a well done!
