Quote: Mackey Whackey "Was at wedding on Sat and got talking to a senior member of the FC coaching staff. Just before the wedding service he showed me a text from Richard Agar saying that FC have completed a deal to sign Sean Long for next season. Apparently Saints only offered him a 1 year deal & Hull have offered 2 years on more money. Should be announced early next week. Caused a right buzz at the wedding amongst FC fans.
He reckoned that FC coaches are very disappointed with Thorman & that the hammering at Leeds finally made the board decide to get their hands in their pockets for next seson. He reckons there will be a big clearout for next seson.
FC are also very close to a deal for Andy Lynch of Bradford.
BTW Matt Orford will not be coming as he wants too much money (£165,000 per season)'"
Would have thought that would be the lowest mark for a top earner at a club. Speculate to accumulate - something our Board know very little about!
