Here it is, the plan that was conceived last night in the pub (which might explain it). It is rumoured that the latest deal between Sky TV and The Premier League will see the promoted teams from the championship netting £50 million. So I think it’s safe to say that now is the time to gamble. The idea would do the following things,

a) Ensure that Nugent stays beyond the January transfer window.
b) Increase our chances of getting any transfer target that we went in for.
c) See the remaining games at Deepdale this season totally sold out.
d) See shirt / merchandise sales at Deepdale increase rocket beyond anything we’ve ever seen before.
e) Put the club back on the map Worldwide.
f) Maybe go someway to getting us promoted.

All we have to do is simply bring Beckham in on loan. Okay okay I admit it, he might find it hard to dislodge Whaley, but throw in the chance of a coaching role, name the bar in the new stand after him and give him a couple of extra weeks off a year to spend in California. Oh yes and a good percentage of his image rites and he could be ours. Massage his ego, tell him how good he is and how he could achieve himself legendary status and maybe even end up owning the club and this could be the sort of challenge that he fancies. We’d be seeing rap stars wearing Nobbers shirts before you know it.

Come on Mr Shaw, work your magic. If you can get over a million for Cresswell, then this should be no problem.

It’s good Magners isn’t it.

Re: The Challenge

Great post Libertine - its the same old scenario re taking financial risks -
 
Re: The Challenge

I like it - but the 'Gambling on a rumour' is a bit of a thin,fragile line.

If it was an 'Official' Press Release from Sky , I'd then think that it was a bit stronger.
 
Re: The Challenge

If were can get promoted, maybe the Beckham idea is not so outrageously fantastical. Becks might like the idea of staying in Spain, but if Madrid can't offer him enough games, I doubt Barca would take him and any other Spanish move would be a step down. He'll not play for Manure while SAF is there, and Beckham has said that he doesn't want to play for any other Premiership side. Well we're not Prem at the mo, but Becks might like the idea of rounding off his career where it really started - Deepdale - and such a move would not be disloyal to United etc. If we were already in the Prem, we could afford to break the club payscale by zillions with all the extra merchandise and global publicity we'd get. It's worth a dream?
 
Re: The Challenge

I think we have about as much chance of landing Beckham as we have of signing me up for the first team - i.e. precisely nil. Just imagine his wage demands for starters! I'm not sure the shirt sales would cover it, to be honest.

Best to concentrate on bringing in a decent young alternative, or, failing that, me.
 
Re: The Challenge

Somewhat strangely I was thinking the same thing on my walk into uni yesterday, no mass marketed (or otherwise) beverages involved there though. My thinking was motivated by an article in the Sun, which is a dangerous start point.

Sadly we would be unable to achieve a workable bid for anyone of beckhams declining stature. I can however see where an argument for so doing could be founded.

Maybe or (most probably) maybe not.

But could you imagine Posh and her entourage hanging around the bar in The Old Black Bull.....lol
 
Re: The Challenge

I've just had a call from Deepdale offering me £10K per week on a 5 year contract - now that's a challenge. Unfortunately I had to turn them down as Derek confirmed that buying old players was not in the 5 year plan and I wouldn't want to upset any fans.😀
 
Re: The Challenge

When Beckham joined Madrid he cost them £28 million-ish. But by the September they'd sold £100 million pounds worth of shirts. So he would pay for himself, even if his star is starting to dip. All I'm suggesting is that Deadly Derek should ask the question. Who'd have ever thought Ian Wright and Paul Gascoigne would pull on the abomination that is a Burnley shirt.

I reckon Posh would fit in very nicely in the VIP lounge in Browns. She could shop for all her designer labels in originals and buy her light bulbs from Steve Gorton discount electrical supplies.

Dave would love a night out in Bar10. Madly texting the lap dancers telling them what he's like to do with them under the watchful eye of The News Of The World.

If you'd said you'd had a call from Ellend Road Brian, nobody would have batted an eyelid.

DREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAMA

It'd be good though, failling that we could put the same bid in for Ronaldinho in 3 years 😉
