I certainly agree we shouldn’t be chucking money at agents but it’s the industry we’re in, another method is to pay it and simply add the fees back on when you sell the player. McCann, Ferguson and Dickov have all said the same thing.... there’s no money and it’s pretty obvious there the ones no lying.
spot on mate .we have our share of miserable cnuts on here 😡Heaven forbid ! An amusing tongue - in - cheek song sung by the club's supporters on friday night out. And to make it worse they were youngsters ! There was nothing offensive about it whatsoever and the older supporters on here, like me, need to celebrate their wit and ironic way of getting a very justifiable message across. Not criticise. They are the RTID of the future.

I feel a bit for DM who must be agonising over bringing someone in. My take is that we have the makings of a proper team here but going up this year would be way too early for us. So while getting someone in up front would help with the development of the team between now and the end of the season, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the summer before we see something more permanent.
