In other words the figure we sold Liam for according to "Sky sources" was the last known rumoured bid and completely inaccurate

I don't care what anyone says, i like that man and really do think he has the best interests of the club at heart. We're in good hands.

Whatever you think of Paul Barber and his policies, one thing you can't acuse him of is not caring.

Personally I think the club is in great hands with him. He seems very open and transparent which helps when he makes unpopular decisions.

That is a fantastic letter. Fans can say what they want but with bloom and Paul b running the club, I can only see is going from strength to strength.

Brilliant read and opens up with honesty to the club and doesn't leave a stone unturned.

What's more he is a true professional about it all too! Keep it up Paul

True. But he is very well paid for doing the job he is doing.

Another well constructed and informative letter from Paul Barber.

I like what I hear when he does interviews, makes statements etc; I think he is a fantastic asset to the club and will ensure we are well poised to continue to challenge for promotion in the future. Ok fans will not always like some of his decisions but thats business, tough decisions have to be made sometimes.

I presume the player in question whose wage demands were way in excess of the club's thoughts was Grabban. I wonder if Bournemouth matched his demands?

Good.

I refuse to believe a word the man says, I would much rather believe th obviously much better informed journalists, and all the NSC poster who assure us they are in the know








I did hear Bridcutt fee was £3.5 mill with add ons

Why don't they just say what Bridcutts' fee was?

Whatever people think of him, he seems to be very open and honest! Under mr barber and bloom I can only see us ending up in one place and that's the premier league, might not be this year but definately sooner rather than later

I wasn't criticising him or his salary, just pointing out that he is well paid. He has tough and unpopular decisions to make, and is well paid for doing so.
