On this day in 1999 (2 Viewers)

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I have to politely disagree. We couldn't afford them and we couldn't afford to build the new stadium. We were racking of debt back then. Then again, Bryan Richardson claims that he was the broker of the deal to sell the land to Tesco, so maybe that money would have come the club's way in the end....who knows. Does Simon's book focus on any of the dealings at this time?

If Simons book does I hope he gets it right as he will be in a whole pile of it if he doesn't as Geoffrey has pals in high places

I was there what a day what a time.
Now I am really depressed.

I was there as an innocent 21 year old oblivious to things like club debt, just sheer joy at watching McAllister, Hadji, Chippo, Froggatt, Keane, Whelan etc. Painful to watch that back now.
