I'm Sparti-Bob

All joking aside (for now), you're absolutely right. Don't forget the £1m they also got for Lambert. Even the Rovers fans themselves have no idea where any of it ended up...

And more recently Matty Taylor. Wasn't he apparently valued at several million?? How did that work out for them?

Umm...no!

Very concisely put, and possibly one for Twentyman to broach next time he invites Hamer or Wally onto his show (not that I expect either to answer with any honesty or clarity).

Corrected that for you

UWE no more, Solvent no more, I like this game. How long can we keep this going?

Just be grateful the internet hadn't been invented in the run up to '82. The size of this thread would pale into insignificance...

Corrected that for you

He failed to score at all!

Isn't that Nick Higgs' (in)famous watertight bucket?

And only one team in Bristol has sold a striker they rated at over £10m for £300k

When they moved to the Mem they hired an 'expert' to improve the Feng Shui layout of the ground and improve their luck. From memory, all they did was place a goldfish bowl in one of the goal nets for a couple of weeks

How about misspelling their own graffiti (that's one to be "prowed" of), or plastering 'Clarke out' posters around the training ground and then enjoying successive promotions under him...

Unfortunately, I think Pembos departure was an act of cowardly desperation from those truly in fear of their roles at AG at the moment. If LJ gets the boot now, who is there realistically to take over in the interim? An assistant coach who appears to be at the centre of our downfall, or another one who has only been in the job for a day? Good luck Pembo- thank you for being you. You won't be forgotten. #doublewinner

I have it on record from my sources deep within Homebase that the rake insisted on a 99p release clause.

I wouldn't!

Simply embarrowssing

Why on earth would they have even considered this when the contract was deemed so "watertight"...

Prince Ali got 4 votes. Apparently, Wally is requesting a recount on the grounds that 'thousands' of voters were locked out and were therefore unable to cast their votes...

Or David Kohler and the 'Kohler Dome'

Since when did they deal in facts? Why let the truth get in the way of a good story?

Don't forget the references to the Thatcher years, dogs dying, etc :-)

I thought we were all in the Mansfield end that day...

Wow , the Gas Hit Squad have really let themselves go.

Don't forget 'tramps and thieves'
