Much easier journey to Gateshead ! Good luck Russell!

I've heard from a very good source that Russel Penn's wife has been very ill, and his reason for turning down our approach was to avoid putting her through the need to move.

If this is true, then my thoughts are, good luck to him...and her......and thanks for the help you were able to give when we needed it most.

Pepe, Jose & Jurgen land all their targets, but only when they pay over the odds and still finish second best. It's part & parcel of footy, there is always someone bigger in the food chain. They operate in a different world where they have their existing players contracted for a number of years so tied in, we don't.

What is difficult to accept but a sign of the times, lower league clubs are not guaranteed to keep their kids, it is all geared up for bigger clubs to pick them off for a development fee, with add ons if we are lucky. Fingers crossed that Marx wants to commit to the club that gave him his break

He was obviously attracted by the bright Northern lights.

I posted this in the other Penn thread. All I heard was 'close relative' Even more understandable if it's his wife.

It was a pun - "Greenland" added to the other country puns in the thread.
