EmersonsKev Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Peterborough under new ownership have made a massive bid for Izzy McLeod which has been rejected, believed to be in the region of £1million. Looks like there is a bit of ambition there.PUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider11 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Thats quite a lot for him, being a league 2 player. But there owner has the money to fund it though, as i heard that he's worth 3 quaters of a billion. The new owner has shown some ambition of what he wants to do with them, as on the anglia news out here when he bought them said he's going to build a 25k stadium, and wants to get them into the championship and beyond in 7 seasons. So i spose spending a million on 1 player would be the start of him implementing his plan to get them out the basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Boy Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Peterboro..........yes, P'Boro, have a £1m bid REJECTED by MK Dons for Izale McCleod.New owner obviously wasn't kidding when he said he had a few bob!MK Dons new stadium is coming on a treat........you never know, they might actually be able to get away fans into this one and they can't be to skint to turn down a million, albeit they'd have to give Derby about 300k of that!

foghornred Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 How is it that we could'nt turn down £1,000,000 for leroy lita when MK Dons can turn down that amount ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a guess, but maybe the player/agent has some influence and somehow P'boro aren't quite the attraction that Reading are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus how long does each player have left on his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cider11 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 seems a waste of money to me. they've got a 15k stadium now but are only getting 4k fans at the moBut the football dished up by them in league 2 is fairly crap. i saw them away at boston 1st away game they had, as went with my dad a posh fan as neither of us been there before. And they got lucky that day. But if they were to get up the leagues and build a decent side then they would be able to pull quite a lot of fans, as theres not any other sides for 60 miles all around, 70-80 to london, probably that to norwich and ipswich, and about 60 ish i spose to midlans sides so is quite a catchment area if they had a team in the championship looking like promotion material for the prem. If that did happen then there would be a lot of local cling on fans that would go watch them, like in my school living in huntingdon 15 miles from p'boro so kids in secondary school get the train to go watch them and there the ones that support the chelseas, liverpool, man utd's, arsenal's. there'd then go more regularly aswell if they were higher up. so from 4 or 5k it would steadily increase.

22A Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 According to the local radio, Posh's bid was turned down because a third of any transfer fee will go to the player's former club.

Look at what a waste Wigans big ground is, they don't come close to filling their ground against the likes of Man U or Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidergeorge Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 But Wigan have a big rugby league following there as well. So they double their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
