They will make their mind one day!

So, in other words, "It was going to be this season, but we couldn't find anyone... kept quiet about it until we couldn't any longer, and then decided this was the best option"

Yeeeeeaa! 101 years old celebrations!

Also in the Echo, JCRs transfer fee was £30,000.

I wonder who we'll play? Southampton anyone???

I expect no one less than Barcelona

Seriosly though, someone more higher profile than Pompey!

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Chelsea?

Our first Premiership match??

We wouldnt even need to ask!

 

[Stats]

Perhaps next seasons kit will have emblazened over the logo

''A CENTURY & A YEAR UNITED''

How did that work?

RM done superbly well there. I'm still a little confused by the whole thing, as I thought it was £25k (3 months wages) plus £100k (+VAT £17.5k) = £142,500.

I'm confused....

I wonder if we , in any small way , have contributed to this by our mass debates on this subject on ShrimperZone.

That was the original asking price. Rotherham must have known they were on a sticky wicket over the contract situation, hence Ron was able to get JCR on the cheap.

At least they've committed themselves to something now, and if they fail to deliver we can quite rightly give them some abuse!

AGreed, but the Rotherham Chairman said that RM was welcome anytime and that he'd been generous. £30k isn't overly generous.

I don't know about you Ken but I personally have never masturbated over ANY Shrimperzone topic!!!!

but theres no escaping from the fact this year is our 100th year, and lets face it, with the club riding on an all time high in terms of popularity, it could also have been a nice earner for the club, ie sales of stuff in the club shop etc etc. Next year is a little bit too late.

I still think we the fans, could show the club how to get it right, so how about my idea

 

[KrustyTheKray]

Shall we start ringing up the top clubs from all over Europe then to see if they fancy a friendly with mighty SUFC!
