Big pay off or pay rise elsewhere the only reason Bagpuss walks

I did it last year. In two weeks I had four cases, two of which were quite simply one word against the other and no other evidence. Massive responsibility, with peoples lives in your hands. I actually felt most jury members were almost too scared to find people guilty, preferring to take the easy way out pointing to doubt that I didn't feel was there. Take a book as there can be lots and lots of sitting around.

Chinny will vote against the PST, so that's never going to happen. Chinny will then have no choice but to keep raising his offer until he gets 75% approval from voters. I'd keep declining until he makes a sizeable offer if I was a creditor as he is not going to allow the club to go into liquidation and that is the remaining option looming large.

like Nugent's value? If he doesn't score goals at this level his value will fall significantly. Fingers crossed he has was it takes, not seen enough of him to make me certain.

not a huge amount of Prem experience in the Swansea side and they seemed to do OK.

Jay Rod £7m Delap, £4m SKP £3.25m Delagado £3.2m Prutton £2.5 Jelle van Damme £2.5m Quasie £2.1m Hirst £2m Killer £2m Crouch £2m Rasiak £2m Niemi £2m Sharp £1.8m Ormerod £1.75m Fox £1.7m Skacel £1.6m Beresford £1.5m Ripley £1.5m McCant £1.5m Higginbottom £1.5m van Gobbel £1.3m

Prutton £2.5m Killer £2m

Kev Philips £3.25m

is the clause £10m?

He was very much part of both Wolves' success and failure. When things were going well for him he was beating players and getting brilliant crosses in from the byline and causing problems for opponents. That's why he got his cap and deservedly so. However, last season he was off the boil, creating little and was dropped. He eventually found some form and started to do the things that attracted admirers, but this was too late for Wolves. He must share some of the blame for their relegation. Personally I think he'd be great for us. Busy, pacey, direct and genuine competition for Adam. No chance we'll spend £10m though so doubtful we'll get him. I suspect every lower and mid level Prem side will have a dip.

they certainly did back in the Lowe days, but did we perhaps sell any of those properties when we were in the mire?

Lambert worked with him before according to reports. We tend to overlook this left hand side. Lallana is a shoe in, but where is the competition and the replacement? Chaplow did well there I suppose when Adam was out.

it would be excellent. I'm still very confused why Butterfield would get another contract if we didn't feel he could play a part next season.

Mark my words if he somehow got £55k a week he'd relocate. Can't see either happening, although huge wages will have to be paid if we want top notch talent.

New York is excellent. Got something for everyone. http://www.skyscanner.net good place to start regarding flights. Tripadvisor worth a look regarding hotels.

this is the key question. They clearly have the funds to buy the club and clear all the other debts via the CVA, but its settling this football debt that's the pain in the backside. Can they make stage payments perhaps using the remaining parachute payments to help? If they can do that then it's all about matching the outgoings with income. The wage bill is falling, slowly, but as with Chinny's bid, unless the top earners **** off the PST would struggle to break even. I guess it matters not as Chinny is never going to allow the PST to take the club as he won't see a return on his own investment that way.

how much is the football creditors debt currently?

If JR turns us down (for whatever reason) should I expect lots of people on here doubting our ambition?

Chinny's CVA offer turned out to be as suspected: 2p in the £1 (equalling £500,000), plus he promises (again) to pay charities and the creditors owed less then £2500 in full. However, this offer is dependent on several of big earners leaving first. What else? Ward joined Palace for £400k to keep the wolves from the door a while longer. PFC season tickets went on sale and that's about it. Meanwhile we toyed with bringing in an England keeper or two...

perhaps not, but that doesn't mean he couldn't cut it in the Prem. I'd go for Craig Gordon myself.

I don't know if Butland is as good as him, do you? But it means A 20 year old keeper can be `thrown into the Premiership pressure pot'.

Someone is earning a few bob. 2010/11 season their wage bill was £58m and they tend to have a smallish squad (currently 26).

I was going to say that it depends which paper you read, but http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2032533/Mikel-Arteta-admits-Arsenal-good-turn-down.html

Burnley may hold some of the cards, but seeing as they don't want to lose him for nowt they don't hold them all. They just might have to accept a lower bid from Everton if perhaps JR is reluctant to move down South (or fancies a bigger club like Everton).

Wenger was happy to turn to Wojciech Szczęsny, who at the time had just 4 more league games under this belt than Butland.
