According to the Express and Star 'the club's transfer kitty was given a record-breaking boost yeterday'.  Anybody know what that is about?


I assume they were referring to the kit launch/new sponsorship.

Do we know how much the sponsorship is worth?

Shedloads, I hope.

The Mail were on about our sponsorship deal being the biggest in the club's history, so probably that.

I think it was more than £10million as they said more than Nike's £10m deal.

So probably £10,000,005.

I'm reliably informed the sponsorship is circa £20m over 3 years subject to conditions.

And no, its not £2m +£18m if we win the league.

If I was a Wolves fan I would be pissed off at that headline.

heh. this made me chuckle


Wolves boss Mick McCarthy has admitted it will take a £50m offer to persuade him to sell star striker Kevin Doyle.

"Look, if Manchester United come in and offer the club £50m and give him 200 grand a week, I can't keep him," said McCarthy.

"Doyle will be a player for us unless someone comes in offering the earth, moon and stars for him." (Press Association

Phew....now we just need 'Arry to put a similar price on Keane.

That's the first and last time I will hear or see the words Kevin Doyle and £50million in the same sentence.

Maybe Martin will misread the last bit and offer him a few Earth, Wind and Fire cassettes.

I'd posted before that McCarthy had stated that he would want upwards of £15m for him.

Ludicrous.

again if your in a race and in the top 3 or 4 for a lot it but fall away to 6th, its more impressive than running in at the end and getting 6th in a slightly better time


Gnasher, have you checked the coolant in your logic circuits?

True, but using your own measure, the question is whether we were sufficiently "closer".

09-10 - 6th - 64 points
08-09 - 6th - 62 points
07-08 - 6th - 60 points

By one measure (position) it is not improvement. By another measure (points) it is, but that rate of improvement doesn't really look sufficient to suggest we're going to break the top four any time soon.


Now that Heskey is free from  the burden  of international football we are bound to get 2 more points this  coming season.
So 10-11  6th 66 points target achieved!
