If this is true it will make many believe that Sam is not in control and it's Darlington pulling the strings. Just saying and I am probably way off the mark .

Mills started the season with Belford so not too worried about Dibble.

Why? How many points did he cost us last season?

Because he apparently prefers Dibble, who performed admirably in his handful of appearances, over bringing in another first choice keeper who would then demand a large amount of money? I'm sorry, I don't see the issue here. Perhaps Ricketts would prefer to spend money on that ball-playing midfielder or goal-scoring striker we've been craving.

Honestly if Dibble can maintain the form he showed last season then keeper should be the second to last of our worries - right after centre backs. We do need back ups, naturally, but they shouldn't be prioritised over quality additions in key areas.

Exactly and if the goalkeeping position becomes a problem its easier to loan a keeper than a 20 goal striker.

He said that “any other keeper will be as cheap as chips”?

He will realise his error by mid July

Yeah, because you go off a few friendlies and an FA Cup game rather than his league games for us. That's no less daft than people thinking he'll be fine.
