Reading the papers again today, and looking at the speculation regarding outward movement of the usual name, plus the now noticed Whaley and slightly more surprising link re D D, I couldn't help hoping that the powers at Deepdale recognise that far from allowing any more of our 'top' players to leave, a couple of inspired signings could pay handsome dividends come May.

Against all the odds, it now seems PNE are nearly there in terms of being realistic auto promotion candidates. If ever there was a proper time to take a gamble by acquiring a couple of proven - if expensive - players, this is surely it. (Just look at the effect Hendrie is having at Stoke) We've hit the post three times in recent years, and we can't keep expecting Grezza, McKenna and co can pick themselves up from crushing disappointment each summer and do it again.

This season looks better than it ever has done in the Thirty Eight years I've supported this club. Seize the day Derek, and this is the year YOU go down in the history books as being the man who took us back to where we like to think we belong.........or we continue to be a well run Championship club.

The choice seems to be yours.
 
Re: The Final Push

.. add in to this the fact that next year the average championship club will take £1 million from TV, whilst the Prem. average will go up to £40 million and it's clear that this HAS to be the year.

I think a lot of clubs will be spending big bucks in January to give themselves a fighting chance of going up and, whilst we can't compete with some on purchases, we should make clear that we don't have to sell any prize assets this season.
 
Re: The Final Push

Spot on TNT, i too feel this is our year, with a little gamble and holding on to our prize assets i really think we can do it.

KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!!!!!

How about the fans chipping in to buy a player? 10,000 regulars. £100 each = £1million

Less risk than the club borrowing from the bank!
 
Re: The Final Push

If I believed that £2million would get us to the premiership then I would put £200 in but I can not believe that it would.

If we are in the same position in January then maybe the time is right for Derek to get the money out and have a little gamble, especially at a time when we know there will be transfer revenues in the summer from nugent and or whaley if it fails.

Get the money out from where? Some secret stash? His own pocket?

Just asking.......

Did you not know, it is kept in the old safe of the old Legends club 🙂

I appreciate that cashflow is not such that we can just find sums of money instantly, but other clubs with much more crippling debt than us manage if they are able to convince the lenders that there are saleable assets (Nugent, Whaley etc) which could be sold to repay the lenders.

Some shrewd negotiation might mean that we pay out very little in transfer fees, with all payments depending on appearances and or promotion to the premier league.

Nothing in football is simple is it 😕
