It's the same logical conclusion I came to as well if the DS/ON stuff is true.

Trouble is, and this is something I try not to think about too much because I fear it may actually kill my love for the game, by going for it and getting promoted we'll find ourselves in an entirely new landscape where we're even more likely to be fleeced by clubs / agents / players.

Can't say I am massively disappointed, 8 million for an unwanted reserve team Player seemed a little excessive. No wonder more teams shop abroad if that is considered value.

Precisely, and this Norwood geezer, I thought he was a junction in Croydon.

How fickle are football fans? 24 hours ago he was the bees knees and the missing piece that was going to ensure promotion now people are saying didnt want him any way as not good enough, make your minds up please

This is my concern as well and a very good point. Any club we are talking to now is going to be using this as a bargaining point in any deal

I can summarise the next twenty pages or so. They'll increasingly be filled by posts saying he's not all that anyway/ he's a croc, 8 million was way too much/Don't want him if all he cares about is more money/ the game is ****ed, too much premiership money is ruining it for the rest of us.
Followed by page 21 onwards of 'YES!!!! **** you Norwich, I KNEW he'd see sense and sign for us! What. A. Signing.

I am always baffled by the lack of knowledge of players in our division.

I don't understand what Powell or his agent did wrong in this saga. He was offered a job, a better one came along then got pulled so he went back to the original offer. I would do the same.
Regarding Norwich and Pritchard, what have they done wrong ? They outbid us (so it seems). Other times we will use our spending power against 'smaller' clubs. I'm not sure where decency comes into it.
Completely agree with your last sentence though..
Yeah it's probably the disappointment of not signing Pritchard that's my gripe. What I was trying to illustrate with the Nick Powell anecdote was how he'd virtually promised Wigan a yes reply the next day which gave them & their fans uplifting optimism yet the next day he was literally at contract signing stage for Wolves
Wigan DID get him but only because his Wolves move was pulled. We maybe got over optimistic & in our case we lost our man hoping for a 'next day yes'. We pick ourselves up as you say

Find me one of those glowing NSC reports about Norwood and I will bow my head in shame.

It's hardly a surprise, most of them don't have much of an education.

I know. I'm certainly not great on players at other clubs but we were fairly heavily linked with Pritchard in January - you'd think people would know him!

I know October is a long way off and memories will forget a bit, but wonder what Amex reception he'll get now...
